This is a great option when a ready-made rug isn’t quite the right size or you want to use a particular carpet from our constantly changing range. Custom rugs are individually quoted based on the carpet selected and the finished dimensions.

What Is a Custom Rug?
A custom rug is a finished rug made to suit the requirements of a particular space.
Rather than choosing from the set sizes available on our Ready-Made Rugs page, you can select a carpet from the McMats warehouse and have it professionally cut and edged to your required dimensions.
This makes custom rugs particularly useful when:
- A standard rug size doesn’t fit
- You need a specific length or width
- You want to match a particular carpet
- You have an unusually shaped space
- You want a particular colour or pattern
- You want to turn a suitable carpet remnant into a finished rug
Important: Custom rugs are made using carpet selected from the McMats warehouse. We don’t simply provide an edging service for customer-supplied carpet.
Why Choose a Custom Rug?
A custom rug gives you more flexibility than buying a standard pre-made rug.
Benefits include:
- Choose the carpet from our warehouse
- Select the finished dimensions
- Suitable for unusual spaces
- Access to constantly changing carpet colours and styles
- Opportunity to use premium Axminster or wool carpet
- Professionally cut and edged
- A finished rug without installing wall-to-wall carpet
- Individually quoted for your requirements
Because you’re choosing the carpet yourself, you can see and feel the actual material before deciding.
How Our Custom Rug Service Works
1. Choose Your Carpet
Start by visiting our Melbourne warehouse and looking through the carpet currently available.
Depending on our stock, you may find:
- Wool carpet
- Axminster carpet
- Commercial carpet
- Patterned carpet
- Plain carpet
- Different pile heights and textures
- Surplus carpet
- Clearance carpet
- Large carpet remnants
The carpet available changes regularly, so we don’t work from a fixed catalogue.
2. Decide on Your Finished Size
Once you’ve found a carpet you like, let us know the finished dimensions you’re looking for.
This could be a:
- Living room rug
- Bedroom rug
- Dining room rug
- Hallway runner
- Entry rug
- Large feature rug’
- Office rug
- Commercial rug
If you’re unsure about the best size, our team can discuss the requirements of your space with you.
3. Receive a Quote
Custom rugs are quoted individually.
The price depends on factors including the carpet selected and the finished size required.
This means the pricing shown on our Ready-Made Rugs page does not apply to custom rugs.
4. Professional Cutting & Edging
Once you’ve selected the carpet and approved the quote, we arrange for the carpet to be professionally cut and edged through our supplier.
This creates a finished rug rather than simply leaving you with a piece of carpet.
What Carpet Can Be Made Into a Custom Rug?
The suitability of a carpet for a custom rug depends on the individual product, its construction, size and intended use.
Our warehouse regularly carries different types of carpet, including:
Wool Carpet
Wool can make a beautiful premium rug and is particularly suited to customers looking for a natural fibre and quality finish.
Axminster Carpet
Axminster is an excellent option for feature rugs and traditional interiors, particularly where pattern and design are important.
See our Axminster & Wool Rugs page for more information.
Commercial Carpet
Commercial carpet can provide a practical option for offices, reception areas and other high-traffic spaces.
Surplus & Clearance Carpet
Surplus carpet can provide an opportunity to create a unique rug from carpet that may no longer be available through traditional retail channels.
Not every carpet is suitable for every rug application, so we recommend discussing your requirements with us before choosing the material.
Please Note: Due to our high turn over of stock, images above may not be the same as the stock we currently have in stock, please come visit our carpet counsellors and we can assist you in finding the option for your project.
Common Uses for Custom Rugs
Custom rugs can be made for a wide range of spaces.
Living Rooms
Create a rug to suit the dimensions of your seating area rather than being restricted to standard retail sizes.
Bedrooms
A custom rug can be designed around the size and layout of the room.
Dining Areas
Choose a carpet and finished size to suit your dining table and surrounding space.
Hallways
Long or unusually shaped spaces can benefit from a custom hallway runner.
See our Hallway Runners page for more information.
Home Offices
A custom rug can help define a workspace and add comfort under a desk.
Commercial Spaces
Custom rugs can also be suitable for reception areas, offices, showrooms and other commercial environments.

Custom Rugs Made From Carpet Offcuts
Suitable carpet offcuts and remnants can be turned into finished rugs.
This can be particularly useful when a large piece of surplus carpet is too good to discard but isn’t large enough or suitable for another flooring project.
Depending on the carpet and its available dimensions, it may be possible to have it cut and edged into a finished rug.
Our Carpet Offcuts and Large Carpet Offcuts pages have more information about the types of surplus carpet available.
Because stock changes regularly, the best approach is to visit the warehouse and see what is currently available.
