We have been in business since 2000. We began our business as a custom area rug manufacturer, supplying high end rugs to local dealers and consumers. We quickly maneuvered to take advantage of our relationships with the large mills to establish our business on the World Wide Web. The first iteration of Carpets In Dalton, one of the first flooring stores to take to the internet, was born from vision and a desire to bring flooring prices only found in Dalton, Georgia to the rest of America. With our success in the residential markets, we soon did the same thing for the hospitality industry by launching Dalton Hospitality Carpet Mills.

Today, our original goals have not changed much. We have only gotten better. We bring name brands like Stanton Carpet, Prestige Mills and stalwarts like Mohawk to home owners across the nation at prices not found at big box stores or other brick and mortar stores not located in Dalton.

Over the years with the shifting of trends in home decor, our best sellers have changed. The better brands in our lineup like Stanton who are more fashion conscious tend to follow these trends or establish their own. Of course, Luxury Vinyl (LVT/LVP) has emerged as the top seller in hard surfaces.

• Wool Carpet remains a best seller for many reasons including its sustainability.
• Plaids and animal print carpets are popular among those who want something that is more personal.
• Luxury Vinyl such as products from Provenza Floors is still a growing products line.
• Custom Rugs remains a best selling item for us after all these years. The best thing is that the consumer has more options than ever.
• Classic hardwood flooring is one of our most requested products. Traditional options as well as artisan options are available.
• Nylon Carpet is probably the most common carpet installed in modern homes and for good reason. Its affordable, durable and available in many styles such as plush, frieze, Berber, etc.
• As of late, we have had a lot of interest in traditional Scottish tartan patterns which we import. We have a plaid carpet tile that is suitable for both residential carpet and commercial installations.
• Traditional chevron and diamond pattern carpet from brands like Prestige Mills and Stanton Carpet are stalwarts in our line up.

Additionally, we have a brief article in Resources about our Top Carpet & Flooring Brands.

Opting for a custom rug allows you to tailor every aspect of the design to suit your specific needs and preferences. You can choose the exact size, shape, color, and pattern that fits your space perfectly. Custom rugs can also be made from a variety of materials, offering the flexibility to select the best quality and type that meets your requirements. This personalized approach ensures that the rug complements your décor seamlessly, adding a unique touch to your interior design.

Determining the right size for a custom rug involves measuring the area where the rug will be placed. For living rooms, ensure the rug is large enough to fit under the front legs of your furniture, creating a cohesive look. In dining areas, the rug should extend beyond the table to accommodate chairs even when pulled out. For bedrooms, a common approach is to have the rug placed under the bed, extending on both sides and at the foot. Accurate measurements and considering the furniture layout are key to achieving the perfect fit.

Custom rugs can be crafted from a variety of materials, including wool, silk, sisal, jute, and synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester. Wool is a popular choice for its durability, softness, and natural stain resistance. Silk offers a luxurious feel and a beautiful sheen but requires more delicate care. Sisal rugs are easy to clean and maintain, while jute provides a rustic, natural look. Synthetic fibers are known for their resilience and ease of maintenance. Your choice should depend on the desired aesthetic, durability requirements, and maintenance preferences.

The production time for a custom size rug can vary depending on the availability of your selected carpet, size, and methods used. On average, it can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months. The process typically starts with a consultation to discuss your design preferences and requirements. After finalizing the design, the rug is crafted by skilled artisans. Clear communication with the us is essential to ensure your expectations are met and to receive updates on the progress.
