Custom area rugs designed just for your space in Austin, TX
A beautiful rug does more than soften a floor. It anchors a room, defines a space, and brings your whole design together. At Lakeway Floors, we help homeowners across the Austin area create fully custom area rugs that fit their rooms exactly, from the carpet selection to the final stitched edge. Whether you're working around an awkward layout, searching for a pet-friendly option, or pulling together a high-end interior, we'll craft a rug that's truly one of a kind.
We've been making custom rugs for families across Lakeway, Bee Cave, Westlake, The Hills, Dripping Springs, Spicewood, Horseshoe Bay, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill, Burnet, and Marble Falls for years. With over 70 years of combined experience on our team, we understand how the right rug can transform everything from a cozy reading nook to a formal living room.
How a custom rug comes together
The process starts with a carpet you love. You choose the color, pattern, fiber, and any added performance features, such as stain resistance or pet-friendly backing. From there, we cut the piece to the exact shape and size you want and finish the edges with your chosen border. It's a simple process that delivers a rug you won't find anywhere else, tailored beautifully to your home.
Edge finishes to match your style
The finish you choose shapes how your rug looks and wears, so we offer several options to suit different interiors:
- Traditional binding creates a clean, tailored edge that works beautifully with modern, transitional, and classic décor
- Serging wraps continuous yarn around the rug edge for a soft, hand-finished look that mimics a woven wool rug
- Fringe detailing adds a decorative, vintage-inspired touch, perfect for traditional or bohemian spaces
Our team will walk you through each option during your consultation and recommend the right finish based on your carpet choice, room style, and how much foot traffic the rug will see.
Any size, any shape, any room
Most store-bought area rugs come in standard sizes that rarely fit real rooms perfectly. Custom rugs solve that problem. Whether you need an oversized rug for an open-concept living area, a narrow runner for a hallway or staircase, a rounded shape to soften a curved entryway, or a piece cut to navigate built-ins and odd corners, we can craft it. We measure carefully, account for furniture placement, and make sure your new rug looks like it was made for the room, because it was.
A smart, sustainable way to use leftover carpet
If you've recently completed a flooring project with us, don't toss the leftover carpet. Many homeowners turn remnants from new installations into coordinated custom rugs and runners that tie their whole home together. It's a practical way to add warmth to hardwood or tile floors while getting the most value from your original investment.
Why Austin homeowners trust Lakeway Floors
As your local flooring experts, we offer a full flooring and design experience under one roof. Beyond custom rugs, we help with hardwood flooring, tile, luxury vinyl, laminate, and whole-home remodeling projects. That means your rug doesn't just look great on its own, it complements the rest of your home beautifully.
Our convenient shop-at-home service also brings curated carpet samples directly to your door, so you can see exactly how colors and textures will read against your existing furniture and natural light. It's the easiest way to start a custom rug project without ever leaving home.
Custom area rug FAQs
How long does it take to make a custom area rug? Timelines vary based on the carpet selection and finish, but most custom rug projects are completed within two to four weeks from the time your carpet is selected. Complex shapes, fringed edges, or special-order carpet may take a little longer. We'll give you an accurate estimate during your consultation.
How much does a custom area rug cost? Pricing depends on three things: the carpet you choose, the size of the finished rug, and the edge finish. Traditional binding is typically the most affordable option, while hand-serging and fringe add a higher-end finish at a slightly higher cost. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing your specifications.
Can you turn my existing carpet into an area rug? Yes. If you have a piece of carpet from a previous installation, a remnant, or even a large piece you purchased elsewhere, we can cut and finish it into a custom rug. Bring it to our Lakeway showroom and we'll walk you through the options.
Do I need a rug pad under my custom area rug? We strongly recommend one. A quality rug pad prevents slipping, adds comfort underfoot, protects your hardwood or tile floors from scratches, and extends the life of your rug. We offer rug pad options in our showroom and can match the right one to your space.
