What can you customize on a Curran custom rug?

Updated

Curran custom rugs can be customized across five dimensions: pattern, size, shape, color, and border. According to the site's own description, you "choose your rug's pattern, size, shape, color, and border." Shape options include rectangular, circular, organic shapes, and irregular custom cuts. This applies to residential, commercial, hospitality, multifamily, and maritime projects — so the same customization framework serves both a living room and a boutique hotel lobby.

The five customization dimensions

Dimension What it covers Notes from the site
Pattern Design/weave pattern of the rug Listed as a primary choice
Size Dimensions of the finished rug Extra-wide capability up to 16'4"
Shape Rectangular, circular, organic, irregular "Irregular Shaped & Custom Cut Rug Guide" exists as a resource
Color Color of the material/weave Listed as a primary choice
Border Edge finishing A separate "Rug Border Guide" is offered

Shape options in more detail

The site groups shapes under its Specialty category, which includes:

  • Circular — round rugs as a distinct option
  • Organic Shapes — non-geometric, flowing forms
  • Irregular Shaped & Custom Cut — the site publishes a dedicated guide for this, suggesting it's a supported (not exceptional) request

If your space has an unusual footprint — an angled bay window, a curved stair landing, a boat cabin — the irregular/custom cut path is the relevant one.

Material choices that interact with customization

Customization isn't only about form; the material determines how pattern and color read. Curran separates its catalog into:

  • Natural: Sisal, Jute, Seagrass, Wool, Coir, TENCEL™, plus Sisal Blend and Wool Blend
  • Synthetic: SynSisal®, SynSisal® Tile (marked NEW), Synthetic Sisal, Recycled PET Polyester, Woven Vinyl
  • Specialty: Commercial Grade, Stair Runners, Outdoor/Anywhere, Circular, Organic Shapes, Walk-off, Wallcovering, Extra Wide (up to 16'4"), Patterned, Boat Flooring

The "Sisal look, without the worry" heading on the site points to SynSisal® as the synthetic alternative for spaces where natural fiber performance is a concern.

Where custom rugs fit by project type

The site organizes use cases explicitly:

  • Residential — living rooms, bedrooms, hallways
  • Commercial — workspaces, offices, mixed-use
  • Hospitality — boutique hotels, resorts, wineries
  • Store Design — displays, dressing rooms, pop-ups
  • Mixed-use & Multifamily — corridors, stairwells, apartments
  • Maritime — boat flooring is listed as a specialty

How to start

Two entry points are described on the site:

  1. Design Your Custom Rug — a dedicated design entry for custom area rugs
  2. Browse by product type — Carpet, Custom Area Rugs, or Tiles & Planks, if you'd rather start from a product category

The site also offers order samples, which is the practical first step before committing to a pattern, color, or material at full scale.

Practical notes

  • Extra-wide runs go up to 16'4", which matters for wall-to-wall or large open-plan spaces where seams are undesirable.
  • Sisalcarpet.com now redirects to curranfloor.com — same products and company, one destination. If you have old bookmarks or supplier references, they still resolve.
  • Trade Program and sign-in exist on the site; pricing and account terms aren't detailed in the available material, so check directly if you need trade or commercial pricing.
  • Supporting guides — "What size rug do I need?", "Stair Runner Guide", "Wall-to-Wall Guide", "High Traffic Rug Guide", "Rug Border Guide", and "Carpet Classification" — cover the decisions that surround customization, so you can resolve sizing and performance questions before finalizing pattern and color.
