The Art of the Area Rug: Adding the Finishing Touch to Your Hardwood

At Wallett's Flooring, we know that a room isn't truly finished until the "layers" are complete. While we specialize in permanent flooring like hardwood, ceramic, and vinyl, we have also expanded our showroom at 403 East Main Street to include an extensive collection of custom area rugs. Since 1992, we have realized that a beautiful floor often needs a soft companion to define a space, dampen sound, and add personality.

An area rug is more than just a piece of decor; it is a functional tool that protects your investment in hardwood or tile while providing the comfort of carpet exactly where you need it. Whether you are looking for a standard size or a completely custom shape, we have the expertise to help.

Why Choose a Custom Area Rug?

Standard-sized rugs often don't fit the unique dimensions of older Pennsylvania homes or modern open-concept layouts. A rug that is too small can make a room look disjointed, while one that is too large can hide the beautiful hardwood borders you worked so hard to install.

By opting for a custom rug from Wallett's Flooring, you can choose your material from any of our high-quality carpet styles, specify the exact size, and select the binding that matches your aesthetic.

Designing with Texture and Color

In 2026, the trend for area rugs is all about high-contrast textures. We are seeing many homeowners choose a neutral, light-colored hardwood floor and then anchor the room with a deep, textured rug in jewel tones.

Pat Wallett, our expert on the latest trends, often suggests using rugs to define "zones" in a home. For example, a round rug under a breakfast table can separate the dining area from a large kitchen, creating a sense of intimacy without building walls.

Protection and Maintenance

Rugs act as the "first line of defense" for your hard-surface floors. They catch the grit and dirt from shoes that would otherwise scratch your hardwood finish. They also provide much-needed sound absorption, which is vital in homes with high ceilings.

David and Pat Wallett have built this company around customer service and quality products. We want to be your source not just for the floor itself, but for the elements that make that floor livable and stylish.
