When it comes to creating a warm, inviting home, few design elements make as big of an impact as carpet and custom rugs. Whether you're refreshing a bedroom, adding softness to a living room, or elevating your staircase with a custom runner, the right textile can instantly transform your space.
At Floor Authority, we offer a curated selection of carpet styles that can be transformed into stair runners, area rugs, and fully custom pieces—so you can bring comfort and style to any room in your home.
Why Carpet Still Matters in Modern Design
With so many hard-surface flooring options on the market, carpet remains a timeless favorite—and for good reason.
Warmth & Comfort – It softens your space and feels amazing underfoot
Sound Absorption – Reduces echo, footsteps, and noise transfer
Design Flexibility – Choose from patterns, textures, loop piles, plush styles, and more
Cozy Vibe – Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, playrooms, and offices
Carpet brings an inviting, livable feel to any home—something especially appreciated in open-concept spaces or homes with little ones.
Stair Runners: The Perfect Blend of Style & Safety
Stairs are one of the most high-traffic areas in any home, and adding a runner offers both function and beauty.
Benefits of Stair Runners
Safety First — Reduces slips and provides a secure surface
Noise Reduction — Minimizes loud footsteps on hardwood or LVP
Design Opportunity — Stripes, patterns, textures, or solids—runners can be a statement
Comfort — Softer on feet and more inviting
Stair runners are also a great way to introduce personality. Whether you prefer a bold geometric pattern or a subtle neutral, a custom runner becomes an anchor point in your home’s design.
Custom Rugs: Made Just for Your Space
A custom rug allows you to take any carpet in our showroom and cut it to your ideal size—perfect for unique spaces or when standard rug sizes fall short.
Why Choose a Custom Rug?
Perfect Fit — Made to your exact dimensions
Matches Your Flooring — Coordinates beautifully with your design
Endless Options — Choose from textures, patterns, colors, and materials
Budget Friendly — Often more affordable than pre-made designer rugs
Versatility — Great for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, foyers, hallways, and offices
Whether you want a subtle neutral rug to ground your furniture or a patterned piece that acts as décor on its own, custom is the way to get exactly what you want.
Choosing the Right Carpet for Your Project
When selecting a carpet for a stair runner or custom rug, consider:
1. Durability
For stairs and hallways, choose denser, tighter loop or patterned carpets—they hold up better and look cleaner longer.
2. Pattern & Texture
Striations, herringbone, geometrics, and soft patterns hide wear and add gorgeous visual detail.
3. Color
Neutral tones keep things timeless, while deeper colors add richness and mask traffic.
4. Binding Options
A custom rug isn’t complete without the finish. Choose from:
• standard binding
• serging (for a high-end look)
• wide cotton tape edging
• leather or linen borders for a luxury finish
