Braided Rug Sizes

Custom Sizes The settlers crafted their braided rugs out of necessity. They recycled old clothing and fabric remnants into braided rugs that covered their cold, splintered, and dusty floors. Braided rugs were swept clean and easily repaired. Size requirements were determined by the amount of available fabric and the size of the area to be protected.

The beauty of hand-braiding your own rugs is the artistic freedom of colors, patterns, fabrics, and sizes at a "something for nothing" price. Custom sizes are also available through professional crafters who take pride in an exquisite finished product, but the price tag can be incredibly high.

For the overwhelming percentage of people who do not have time to make their own braided rugs and cannot afford custom orders, there is good news. Braided rugs come in sizes to accommodate most needs. For accents in small kitchens, bathrooms, or entry areas, braided rug sizes start at 2x3 feet and are offered in colors to match any furniture or paint scheme.

For larger bedrooms, under dining room tables, or for living rooms and family rooms, braided rugs are commonly found in sizes up to 12x15 feet. Round, octagon, and square braided rugs start as 3-foot accents and range in sizes up to 10 feet in diameter. Braided runners for hallways and high-traffic areas are available in 2x6-foot through 2x10-foot lengths.

An increased demand for braided rugs has led to the availability of a few braided rug accessories. Braided rug stair treads come in colors to complement braided rugs and braided runners. Other braided styles include chair mats and pads, wastebaskets, utility baskets, and tote baskets. Non-skid braided rug pads in various thickness qualities are recommended and available for most rug sizes.
