Sandy's Favorite Carpet and Rug Design Ideas

Sandy's Favorites


Check out rug remnants and sale specials in our eBay store! 

My favorite rugs to create are mixing borders and fields.  Shown here are fields that were chosen from a broadloom carpet line that matched a border from another line.  We attached the border to the field and created a unique look, a one of a kind rug! 

The borders on the samples below were hand sewn to the field, workmanship that is becoming

"A Lost Art"

This is my favorite!  The border is Lokins Floral from Schumacher Carpet, a exceptionally beautiful wilton.  The field is a woven sisal look from Bloomsburg carpet.  There are small touches of the yellowish/tan field color in the border and the combination is striking.

Here is another dramatic look.  The border is Garden Flower by Stanton.  the field is a wool sisal from Fibreworks.  The contrast shows a striking elegance.

The border shown here is a Stanton Tapestry. The field is a classic wool herringbone pattern from Couristan Carpet.  The combination of the two makes a captivating statement.

Visit some Tapestry Choices

This is a classic and sophisticated look.  The border is a tapestry from Fibreworks.  The field is a exquisite woven wool from silver Creek.  The combination is simply elegant!

This is my favorite border!  It is called Nantucket from Langhorne Carpet.  The field is a plain wool sisal from Merida.  The colors in this Nantucket line

seem to go with many colors and types of decor.  We have used this line extensively with clients

Here is the Nantucket field.  We can sew the matching border on the field to make an area rug, but this carpet is also beautiful without a border.  It is also so graceful in a wall to wall look.

This is Langhorne's Nantucket in Tan, also

a favorite of mine.  Of all the rugs we have made and installed I never get tired of this paper.  It is just so luscious!

The two beautiful Nantucket patterns come in stair runners also.  This pattern offers you a lot of possibilities in designing areas rugs through

the different areas of your home

Classic with a twist.  This is a crocodile leather border

with nailheads. There is a wide choice of nailheads (the type that used in upholstery) that will add

a very tailored look to a leather border
