Canvas Rug Binding

Choosing the right rug binding color

Import Flooring customers can choose from a full spectrum of rug binding colors and styles. Our all-cotton binding comes in 14 popular decorator colors.

How do you choose a color that will frame your area rug the best? If you want your floor covering to harmonize with the floor, designers suggest that you choose a color that blends with your rug's natural fiber colors.

To create an accent color from your area rug binding, select the least used colors in your room. If you already have an accent color, matching your rug binding to that color will anchor your room and give it a true designer look.

As a rule, lighter colors give the illusion of space, while dark colors create a cozy, intimate setting.

Rug Binding Styles

When it comes to rug binding, you'll find two different corner styles:

Standard corners:  Finished one side over the other, this is what gives our Aspen mountain grass area rug its fresh contemporary look.

Mitered corners: This style resembles a picture frame, with the corners joined together at 45 degree angles.

Our rug bindings also come in different widths, ranging from 1 1/4 inches to 3" borders. Wide bindings in dark colors can really energize a room.

Import Flooring offers a wide range of binding choices. And with 14 border colors to choose from you can even create a custom look for that extra special space.
