Rug Size Guides
Binding or edging a carpet rug may seem like a daunting task to the uninitiated, but it’s actually a fairly straightforward task that doesn’t require you to be an expert seamstress or sewer. When you do go into the process, it’s important to be informed on the basic process, different methods of edging the rug, and how different types of rugs can benefit from binding.
Binding your rug can reinforce already sturdy edges of the rug or prevent an older rug from fraying and unraveling. Aesthetically, edging your carpet can also create a finished look that transforms the look of your rug. Depending on your situation, you may be touching up a binding that already exists, adding a brand new binding, or edging a rug that you cut to a new size. No matter the specific reason, edging a rug is a common and straightforward process.
Before you get anywhere close to the rug’s edges, it’s important to thoroughly clean the entire rug. Vacuum any loose dirt and debris, clean any set-in stains, and flatten the rug completely. If these steps aren’t taken, then the rug may be uneven as you work around the edges and cause an imperfect finish.
As you choose the best binding method for your carpet, it’s important to consider what look you ultimately want for your rug. For example, serging the edges creates a look that appears hand-sewn, while other types of binding look more industrial or machine-made. There’s also application to consider, since different methods do require different types of tools, amounts of time, and expertise. Here are brief summaries of the most popular ways to bind a rug.

After these bindings are applied, there are still some other ways to stylize the rug’s edges. Decorative trims and fringes are two options that can immediately change the tone of your rug to be playful, elegant, classic, or something else entirely. If you’re especially eclectic, you may use contrasting binding colors to create a youthful edging. Binding your carpet rug is a way of personalizing and preserving your rug, so you have the freedom to make your rug whatever you want it to be.
Regularly caring for your rug is vital for maintaining the life of your rug and improving the longevity of your edging. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning will do wonders in preserving your rug and keeping those edges in tact. Whenever you care for your rug, follow that material’s specific care instructions and avoid harsh chemicals/abrasive cleaning that may damage the rug.
Binding carpets by hand or machine is a great and straightforward way to preserve your rug. Edging may protect those edges, but it also frames the rug in a beautifully simple way. As you apply a do-it-yourself binding or tape to your rug, be sure to follow any specific instructions that come with that method. After the fact, take regular care of your rug with standard vacuuming and stain treatment. With the hard work you’ve put into customizing your rug’s edging, it is worth it to take care of it to promote its longevity and beauty.
