I don't like the look of Flor tiles. I agree they look cheap.

There is a Flor tiles store in Georgetown. I thought they looked cheap.

OP here. Can Flor tiles stand up to pets?

We like Flor tiles too. Just got a second rug for a different room. We wanted ~7ft square and we couldn't get the colors we wanted anywhere else.

They are small squares you stick together in whatever configuration you want.

Check out Flor tiles.

Looks like we're off to Carpet Palace. Thanks!

+1 love Carpet Palace in Bethesda. We were also able to use a remnant. It's pricey though!

Go to a carpet store. We really happy with a remnant that we had bound. We bought it from Carpet Palace in Rockville.

I've read about having area rugs bound together. I don't think it's too big of a deal and it's semi custom.

I've seen things in magazines and blogs about it. Quick Google/Pinterest search and you are on your way.

You can also get a remnant cut to size and bound as well. Go talk to a carpet guy.

Can anyone recommend a good source for a custom area rug? We have an L-shaped living/dining room that just looks all choppy and broken up with standard size area rugs. Plus, the floor is cold and I think carpet will be more comfortable. But, we don't want to go to full wall-to-wall.

Has anyone done this? Are you happy with the results? Who did you use?
