Rug & Carpet Services

Home Consultation & Approval

When buying a carpet from Art To Walk On, we recommend that you temporarily live with the carpet at home before making a final decision. Art To Walk On's approach is a personal process with expertise and guidance to determine your needs, taste and budget. 

You may have a very clear idea what is the perfect carpet or you have a vague idea. With Eileen’s experience, she can offer advice by visiting your home to assess the space and your personal interests. If the ideal carpet is not in inventory then we either locate them from various resources and vendors or suggest similar carpets to try at your premises for a few days. Living with the carpets and viewing them in the space helps you feel confident with a decision that is destined for the particular space and for your enjoyment. 

Cleaning Services

Each carpet at Art to Walk On is meticulously selected based on quality and durable construction. We offer professional wash/ cleaning services based on each rug’s particular material construction. With the appropriate care, your carpets should last a lifetime. If your carpet has lost it’s luster or if you have any other questions regarding the cleaning of your particular piece, please call us at (941) 951-5454. We avoid the use of chemical based cleaners (and you should too) to preserve the nature of the dyes in your carpet.

Repair/ Restoration

Does your favorite carpet or rug need some TLC?

In addition to washing, we provide expert repair services on all types of hand knotted rugs. These services include, but are not limited to end overcasting, new fringe and edging. These processes are unique to each piece and each one needs to be examined in person for consultation.

We also offer Restoration services for antique and valuable carpets. This is an extensive process in which the piece is actually patched or rewoven in trouble areas. A weaver uses the same techniques in which the rug was woven to complete the most seamless reconstruction of the carpet or rug possible. In some cases restoration also includes, dye touch up, re weaving of wrap and weft, fringe repair, and edge wrapping. Not every rug is eligible or worth this restoration effort. Again, each piece needs evaluation by an expert and weaver, before attempting this process.
