The Foundation of a Healthy Home
Your floors are where life unfolds — where your kids play, your pets nap, and you gather to rest and connect. But did you know that more than 80% of carpets and rugs today are made with synthetic fibers, dyes, and chemicals that pollute the air your family breathes?
That’s why Rugs by Roo has expanded beyond off-the-shelf area rugs to offer custom carpet solutions made from the purest natural fibers. We’ve done the research, vetted the partners, and built the tools to make it easy — so you can create a home that’s not only beautiful, but also safe, nurturing, and aligned with your values.
Step-by-Step Guide
Every home is different. Here’s how to choose the best fit for your space.
Step 1: Choose wall-to-wall or custom area rug
- Seamless coverage, cozy underfoot everywhere
- Great for bedrooms, basements, and family living spaces
- Adds insulation and soundproofing
- Requires professional installation
- Defines a space within a room
- Flexible — easy to move, replace, or layer
- Perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, nurseries, or offices
- Custom sizes & bound edges for a polished look
Step 2: Measure your space
Tools You’ll Need
- Tape measure (or a laser tool for accuracy)
- Paper & pencil (graph paper optional for layouts)
- Calculator
Measuring Simple Spaces
- Measure length and width along the room’s longest points.
- Multiply to get area in square feet, then convert to square yards (divide by 9).
- Add a 10% buffer for trimming, fitting, and pattern matching—even in wool, this ensures no surprises.
Tackling Irregular Shapes
- Draw your room layout and divide it into basic shapes (rectangles, triangles, etc.). Don't worry, at this stage, you don't have to be perfect.
- Measure each section separately, add the areas together, then apply the buffer.
Hallways, Alcoves & L-Shaped Rooms
- Measure every section including door recesses and nooks.
- Consider each as its own little rectangle, then total it up for coverage.
Remember, your measurements do not have to be exact. We are simply gathering information for a preliminary quote. Once you find an installer (step 5), your installer will confirm the exact quantity of carpet or rug you will need.
Step 3: Choose your collection
Find the style that fits your life. Each collection offers a unique look and feel — from cozy, plush textures perfect for bedrooms to low-profile weaves designed for high-traffic spaces. Compare pile heights, natural color blends, and recommended uses in our easy chart to see which one belongs in your home.

Step 4: Order samples
Experience the beauty of natural wool in person. Screens can’t capture the warmth, texture, and true tones of undyed wool. That’s why we ship sample swatches straight to your door. Lay them on your floor, test them against your furniture, and see how the colors shift in different light. Feel the softness under your fingertips before you commit.
