Why Resize?

Rug catches the door sweep

We resize for perfect clearance and smooth everyday movement.

Clearance with Care

We trim and re-edge just enough to restore graceful flow through doorways — no bulk, no trip edges, and no visual imbalance. Each cut is mapped, never guessed.

New layout, new proportions

Your rug should fit your furniture — not the other way around.

Proportion Reimagined

We help you reclaim visual balance by resizing rugs to the right scale for your space. Our artisans measure twice, cut once, and block each piece flat for precision fit.

Transform one rug into two

Perfect for paired seating areas or hallways.

Symmetry, Seamlessly Done

We map along the rug’s centerline or pattern repeat, cut with controlled tension, and re-edge both halves for harmony — identical finishes, balanced design.

Need a round or custom shape?

For bay windows, dining rooms, or unique spaces.

Tailored to the Room

We template, cut, and continuously bind for a smooth circumference. Each shape is blocked for stability — so it lies flat and feels intentionally made for the space.

Resizing an heirloom?

We take every precaution before altering a collectible

Conservation Comes First

Before any cut, we explore reversible options: blocking, pad trimming, or layout adjustments. Our goal is to respect the piece’s heritage — always.

How We Resize — Tailored Techniques for Every Rug Type

Hand-Knotted Rugs

Precision size reductions with chalk-line mapping and corner squaring. Hand overcasting or binding finishes preserve integrity and visual balance.

Flatweaves & Kilims

Clean cuts with re-selvage to prevent fray, followed by re-tensioning and blocking for crisp geometry.”

Tufted & Machine-Made

Clean cuts with re-selvage to prevent fray, followed by re-tensioning and blocking for crisp geometry.

Rectangle → Runner

Ideal for repurposing a large area rug into a hallway or entryway runner. We map a precise centerline cut, preserve symmetrical borders where possible, and finish both new edges with hand overcasting or binding.
Use when: You’re transforming one oversized piece into a pair of long, elegant runners.

Rectangle → Square

Perfect for redefining a room’s balance. We remove length or width to create a harmonious square proportion, often used under dining tables or for central seating areas.
Technique: Chalk-mapped reduction with equal margins on all sides, blocked to maintain geometry.

Rectangle → Round/Oval

Achieved through a template-guided cut, continuous binding or serging, and blocking for a calm, lay-flat finish. Perfect for foyers, bay windows, and round dining tables.
Pro tip: Circular rugs require precision to prevent “flat spots” — our process ensures perfect curvature.

Rectangle → Custom Shape

For bespoke interiors or architectural features, we create custom templates from your floor plan or furniture layout. Organic or irregular curves are hand-trimmed and edge-finished to complement unique spaces.
Example: Kidney, freeform, or arch shapes for designer projects.

Oversized → Two Rugs

We can divide one large rug into two balanced pieces—for matching suites or dual living areas. Both halves are cut along motif centerlines, re-edged, and blocked independently for symmetry.
Good for: Matching runners, twin seating zones, or when relocating a rug across two rooms.

Our Process

Consultation & Layout Plan

Share room photos, door clearances, and furniture footprint; we advise target dimensions for flow.

Specialist Assessment

Identify fiber, weave, border motifs, and patina; confirm whether resizing is advisable for value.

Chalk Map & Mock-ups

We chalk a cut plan that respects symmetry; complex borders/shape changes get digital mock-ups for approval.

Secure & Cut

We stabilize along the cut path, then reduce with controlled tension/support to avoid skew.

Re-Edging / Binding

Hand overcasting/binding for hand-knotted and flatweaves; binding + re-latex for tufted/machine-made; fringe reconstruction when a fringe edge is retained.

Blocking & Final Set

Re-tension and block so the resized rug lies flat and square.

Pad Trimming & Delivery

Custom-trim a felt + natural rubber pad; final groom and photo documentation included.
