That’s the difference between shopping in a furniture or department store and working with a professional rug dealer. It’s our passion to ensure you absolutely love the rugs you buy from us – because it’s what we love to do!
Initial Design Consult
Whether a customer or designer has a certain look in mind or needs advice from the start, we are happy to guide you! Rather than simply browsing the racks, you can consult with our rug experts on design, size and price to ensure you are happy with the end result. Custom projects for rooms in your home, commercial spaces, staircases and even boats often require a rug that’s not a standard size. We can determine the appropriate measurements, provide fabric samples and create a rug of any size.
Interior Rug Design Ideas
A rug is the foundation that ties a whole room together. Whether you are designing from the ground up or need to replace the carpets in an already completed space, our design experts can help you find the perfect match. For example, a dining room area rug should be large enough for the table and chairs to fit on it. The chairs should also remain fully on the rug when pulling away from the table to avoid catching.
Ideally, a customer can provide the following:
- Room Size & Layout
Take pictures! Measure and draw the room on a piece of paper including the placement of walls, windows, furniture and fixed attributes. - Type of Room
Is the space used occasionally, like a formal dining room, or part of your everyday life, such as a family room, kitchen or bedroom? - Lighting
How much natural light does the room receive? - Furniture
What pieces are currently in the room and do you wish to add anything?
Rug Design Questions
What is the correct size for an area rug?
Although room size plays an important role in determining rug size, there are several factors to consider. We want to get a feel for the spatial effects of a particular room: Does it have high ceilings, any clipped corners or fireplaces, multiple areas within the space? These types of questions will help define the proper rug size.
What type of area rug should I get for a family room?
Your lifestyle will help establish if the atmosphere should be formal, casual or serene. How you feel in the family room is important for us to determine the type of rug that would be most suitable for your application. Certain rugs can portray specific elements that enhance the room and its intended purpose.
Do you have a rug that goes with my furniture?
Furniture plays a huge role in choosing a rug. If the room already has established fixtures, color swatches or pillows can establish a reference point. Considering that today’s rugs come in a variety of hues, complementing your color scheme has never been easier!
If the room is bare or you’re starting from scratch, our advice is to select the rug FIRST to set the foundation of a room. This can also make choosing other colors for paint and fabrics an easier task. It’s much less of a hassle to change a paint color than to replace a rug you truly love in your space.
What rug would complement a bright room?
Lighting is often overlooked when shopping for a rug. This factor can determine how much “color” a room can take. If there is an abundance of light, a rug with muted colors can be easily lost. Our showrooms portray rugs in a different light than your home, which is why we encourage customers to try a product at home risk-free!

“Who would have thought buying rugs could be such a great experience!”
“We wanted a rug for our dining and living rooms. The challenge was our living room required a custom cut rug to fit the room exactly the way we wanted. Jim Kaoud got personally involved and worked with us to make it happen. We received the rugs about a month ago and just love them” – S.M.
“The customer service at Kaoud Rugs in Orange is exceptional!”
“Jim and Liz provide honest and helpful service, which is greatly appreciated. We’ve purchased rugs and runners for years and they continue to stand by their products and are very loyal to their customers. We recommend them without hesitation!” – F.S.
Such a great experience!

“Kaoud Rugs in Orange made our buying experience fast and easy”
Jim Kaoud at Kaoud Rugs in Orange made our buying experience fast and easy. He helped us pick out the perfect rug for our space and had it delivered in less than a week. His delivery and installation crew were great as well. – Mike S.
Testimonial
Two exceptional buying experiences at Kaoud Rugs and Carpet in Orange, CT. Firstly, a readymade rug for our family room from the vast selection in the showroom. Jim and his staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and gave us a lot of their time to educate us and select the perfect rug. They are also patient because we are quite fussy shoppers and they helped us by taking rugs off the hangers so we could view them on the floor.
They earned our trust and so we returned a couple of weeks ago for some custom area rugs for living room and master bedroom room. Again, their patience was commendable as we took multiple samples back to our home and then they ordered larger 9”x9” samples of our preferred pattern delivered to our home in a couple of days … just to make sure it was right. Ordering was a breeze and delivery in both cases was exceptional – moving furniture very carefully as needed to lay the rugs.
The end-to-end experience was superb and what you’d expect from top-end stores, but we had shopped around and found that Kaoud’s not only offered premium service, but also has a very competitive price point. Well done and thank you Jim and all! – Colin T.

Testimonial
What a lovely experience! Reminds me why we need to buy local from real people! We needed new rugs for our home but still weren’t ready to spend thousands on hand loomed rugs. We happened to stop into Kaoud in Orange and met with Jim and Liz who spent time showing us their stock, helping us with our design decisions and ultimately letting us take our time to decide. When we finally made up our minds, we needed to rush an order so that the rugs would be in place for our upcoming event. Liz and Jim went out of their way to make it happen, arranged for a timely delivery, and ensured that we were 100% satisfied in every way. Prices were reasonable as well! We look forward to returning again when we purchase other rugs in our house and have already encouraged our family to purchase from Jim. Thank you! – J.K.
Testimonial
Great experience with Liz at Kaoud Rugs of Orange. I found a beautiful 100% wool rug, but wasn’t sure it would look right in my home. Liz suggested I take the rug home with me that day (for free) and make a decision after seeing it in the space. If I didn’t love it, Kaoud Rugs would pick it up from my home the following day. SO convenient! This made all the difference for me! Liz knows that these rugs are investments and she wants the customer to love what they pick – I’m sure the whole Kaoud family feels the same way. Thank you so much for great customer service and a beautiful rug! I will most definitely be back for more! – A
Testimonial
Kaoud not only has great rugs, it’s people are knowledgeable experts and so helpful! While I’m thrilled with the new 10 x 13 rug I purchased, it is the little “extras” that make the difference in service. Liz showed me many good options, and I felt that I had seen a strong array of choices. Once they put it down in the room, it was clear it was perfect. Her workers were fabulous – polite and accommodating. Best of all, she and Jim researched a problem I had with another rug and were able to find a weaver to fix it! – NG
Testimonial
We recently had Kaoud Rugs and Carpet clean our 5 oriental rugs. Liz helped tremendously by giving us information on the services provided by the store and patiently answering all my questions and concerns. Their efficient crew picked-up and dropped-off the rugs on time and even spread them out in their proper places around the house. The rugs were cleaned very well and exceeded my expectations. On Liz’s recommendation, we also bought pads to put under the rug – they were cut to match the size of our rugs and work perfectly. I would highly recommend using Kaoud Rugs for Rug Cleaning to everybody. – RBS
Testimonial
Had a carpet that was close to 100 years old with one corner disintegrated from a plant sitting on it. Kudos to Jim Kaoud and Liz in the Orange, Ct store for talking me out of cutting away 1/3 of the rug to keep it uniform. Instead they cut around the compromised area and though not a perfect rectangle, the look is unique and fantastic. I recommend this store for anyone looking to bring a rug back to life. Thank you – JM
Testimonial
We came in to see Jim at Kaoud in Orange because we had an antique Persian rug that was in dire condition. The rug needed cleaning and restoring to say the least, there were many worn areas and most were worn all the way down so that the woven backing was visible. When Jim presented the rug to us again we were absolutely blown away!! The faded colors are vibrant once again and all the worn areas are magically gone. Jim’s work is so thorough and pristine that our beautiful and now perfect antique rug reflects all of his knowledge, passion and expertise for what he does. We are beyond happy with the results. – VL
