Explore Rug Styles & Materials for Your Home or Business

At Custom Flooring of Nashville, we specialize in working with a wide variety of rug types and materials, from luxurious hand-tufted and Persian rugs to modern synthetics and commercial-grade options. Whether you’re repairing, resizing, or designing a custom rug, it’s helpful to understand the different rug styles available — each with its own look, feel, and care needs.

Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of rugs we work with and what makes each unique.

Hand-Tufted Rugs

Hand-tufted rugs are made using a tufting gun that pushes yarn into a backing material. The surface is then shaved to create an even pile and a smooth, soft finish.

  • Look & Feel: Luxurious and custom-made

  • Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, formal areas

  • Pros: Faster production than hand-knotted rugs, great for custom designs

Hand-Knotted Rugs

Hand-knotted rugs are crafted knot by knot by skilled artisans and are known for their exceptional durability and value.

  • Look & Feel: Traditional, detailed, often heirloom-quality

  • Best for: High-end interiors, collectors, antique restorations

  • Pros: Incredibly long-lasting, unique designs

Machine-Made Rugs

These rugs are mass-produced using power looms. They are budget-friendly and available in many styles and colors.

  • Look & Feel: Consistent texture and pattern

  • Best for: Everyday use, rental properties, high-traffic areas

  • Pros: Cost-effective, easy to replace

Natural Fiber Rugs (Sisal, Jute, Seagrass)

Rugs made from plant-based materials offer a textured, casual look and are ideal for eco-conscious clients.

  • Look & Feel: Organic, coastal, rustic

  • Best for: Entryways, dining rooms, casual spaces

  • Pros: Biodegradable, natural texture

Wool Rugs

Wool is a popular natural fiber for both handmade and machine-made rugs. It’s soft, durable, and naturally resistant to stains.

  • Look & Feel: Plush, warm, high-quality

  • Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, family spaces

  • Pros: Excellent insulation, long-lasting

Synthetic Rugs. (Nylon, Polypropylene)

These durable rugs are made from synthetic materials and are stain-resistant, moisture-resistant, and ideal for heavy use.

  • Look & Feel: Versatile styles with low maintenance

  • Best for: Basements, kids’ rooms, commercial spaces

  • Pros: Affordable, easy to clean, fade-resistant

Hand-Loomed Rugs

Hand-loomed rugs are created on a manually operated loom, combining elements of hand-crafting and mechanical assistance. These rugs are known for their uniform texture and modern aesthetic, and they offer a great balance between quality and affordability.

  • Look & Feel: Clean lines, smooth surface, often with a subtle sheen

  • Best for: Contemporary interiors, bedrooms, dining areas

  • Pros: Faster production than hand-knotted rugs, elegant and durable

Custom Logo Rugs

Perfect for commercial spaces, offices, and branding, logo rugs are custom-designed to include graphics, names, or business identities.

  • Look & Feel: Branded, professional, and clean

  • Best for: Office entryways, retail spaces, tradeshow booths

  • Pros: High visibility, fully customizable

Custom logo rugs are a powerful way to combine branding with functionality. At Custom Flooring of Nashville, we create high-quality, visually striking logo rugs for businesses, schools, offices, event venues, and more. These rugs not only protect your floors but also make a strong first impression.

There are two main fabrication methods for custom logo rugs:

Hand-Tufted Logo Rugs

Using a tufting gun, yarn is precisely inserted into a backing material to create your custom logo or graphic. This method allows for high detail, complex shapes, and full customization in both design and dimensions.

  • Best for: Lobbies, executive offices, upscale retail spaces

  • Advantages: Plush feel, professional finish, fully customizable in size, shape, and color

Inlay Logo Rugs (Cut & Insert)

With this technique, multiple carpet pieces are carefully cut and inlaid to form your logo or design. Each section is bonded and stitched for precision and durability. This method is ideal for bold, large-scale logos and lettering.

  • Best for: Commercial entryways, conference rooms, trade show booths

  • Advantages: Durable, clean lines, excellent for high-contrast or large designs

✔️ Options & Features:

  • Custom shapes and sizes

  • Pantone color matching

  • Wide range of materials: nylon, wool, solution-dyed fiber

  • Finishing options: serged, fabric-bound, or beveled edges

  • Slip-resistant backings available

All logo rugs are custom-designed and produced to meet your branding, usage, and durability needs. We’ll work with you from concept to installation, ensuring your custom rug reflects your brand with precision and style.
