Braided rugs, made to order in any size
Braided rugs are made by plaiting strips of fabric or yarn into a continuous braid and stitching the braid into a flat oval, round or rectangle, so the rug is reversible and has no pile to crush. Interiors carries 134 braided rug styles, all from Harcourt Collection, made to order in the size and shape you specify and shipped from the mill.
These are not farmhouse rag rugs. Harcourt's braided wool rugs such as Sabine, Ysola, Verena and Delamere are heavy wool and wool-blend braids in tonal colorways, 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick, that sit flat under a dining table and take a mudroom or a covered porch. Oval braided rugs are the classic; round and rectangular braided area rugs come from the same braid. Sizes run from 2 by 3 feet to 12 by 15, in any dimension between.
What company makes the best braided rugs?
For the trade, Harcourt Collection, which is why it is the one braided line we carry: dense braid, hidden stitching, colors dyed to the collection rather than cut from remnants.
Are braided rugs still popular?
Yes, in a quieter form. Solid and two-tone wool braids read as texture rather than country, and are a frequent spec under a round table.
What is the 70% rule for rugs?
The rug should cover about 70 percent of the floor in the room, or of the furniture grouping, leaving a border of floor at the walls. See the area rug size guide.
Who carries braided rugs?
Trade showrooms with a Harcourt account, and Interiors is one. Samples of the braid and colors are complimentary for approved trade accounts; see also wool rugs.
