Country Braid House

🧵✨ A beautiful new custom rug is underway! ✨🧵

Every braided rug begins with a vision—and a lot of hands-on craftsmanship. This gorgeous 5' x 8' custom piece is being created in rich shades of purple, taupe, gray, and brown, a combination that's already turning heads.

First comes the cutting, then the fabric is rolled and prepared, and finally the braiding begins. Watching the transformation from strips of fabric into a one-of-a-kind braided rug is one of our favorite parts of the process.

This one is going to be an absolute beauty, and we can't wait to share its progress with you!

Handcrafted right here at Country Braid House. ❤️

🐾 Dogs know comfort when they find it. 🐾

One of our favorite things about making handcrafted braided rugs is seeing the photos our customers send us—and it seems our four-legged friends are often the biggest fans!

Meet Radar, relaxing on his Country Braid House rug right here in New Hampshire. ❤️

And this handsome fellow is Killian Red, an Irish Setter with a remarkable story. As a therapy dog, Killian spent years bringing comfort and companionship to people in nursing homes, schools, and hospitals. We're honored that he's chosen one of our braided rugs as a favorite resting spot.

Whether they're napping, supervising household activities, or claiming the best seat in the house, pets seem to know exactly where the cozy spots are.

Thank you to our customers for sharing these wonderful photos. We love seeing our rugs become part of your family's everyday moments—especially when those moments include wagging tails and happy paws.

🐶 Do your pets love your braided rugs too? We'd love to see them! Share a photo in the comments.

🍑 We talk about butts a lot around here...

In the braided rug world, a beautiful butt is something to be proud of! 😄

Most braided rugs are made from one continuous rope of braid that wraps around and around until the rug reaches its finished size. But for a perfectly round rug with flawless concentric circles, we use the butting technique to achieve this.

That means each row is individually started and ended with a carefully crafted "butt" that blends seamlessly into the design.

This custom 6'8" round rug will include 47 butts - 6 done, 41 more to go!

✨ Finished and looking fantastic! ✨

This custom 5' x 5'4" rectangular braided rug is officially complete, and that beautiful border was the perfect finishing touch! ❤️

We love how this piece came together—the colors, craftsmanship, and added border really make it stand out. Every custom rug is made with care, and seeing the final result is always so rewarding.

This one will be heading to its new home in Michigan later this week! 🚚🍂 Thank you to our client for trusting us to create a one-of-a-kind rug for your space.

🧵✨ Something Beautiful Is Taking Shape... ✨🧵

The lacing tables have been busy lately! 😍

We're currently working on several custom rugs featuring a timeless palette of soft blues, warm creams, and natural beiges.

We're not quite ready for the full reveal yet, but here's a little sneak peek of what's in the works. 👀

Stay tuned to see these custom creations come to life! 💙🤍🤎

🏡❤️ Giving Beautiful Rugs a Second Life ❤️🏡

We love helping customers find just the right rug for their home, and this North Carolina customer has found not one, but two treasures from our collection of used braided rugs!

These rugs were purchased at different times and for different spaces in their home, each chosen for its own unique character and charm. Seeing them settled into their new rooms reminds us how a well-loved braided rug can add warmth, comfort, and personality wherever it lands.

Thank you for giving these beautiful rugs a new home and a new chapter in their story! We love seeing where our rugs end up. 🥰

✨ Off to Florida! ✨

This stunning custom braided rug is on its way to its new home, and we couldn't be more excited! 🌴☀️

Measuring nearly 13 feet across, this beauty is truly a statement piece. The vibrant blend of sunny yellows, rich blues, and fresh greens creates a design that's full of life and color. In fact, it's so large that I couldn't even fit the entire rug into one photo! 😍

Every custom rug we create for our clients are handcrafted with care, and seeing them head off to become part of someone's home never gets old. We can't wait for this gorgeous piece to be enjoyed in beautiful Jupiter, FL.

Thank you for trusting Country Braid House with your custom rug project! ❤️

🌞💙💚💛

Another custom project growing on the table ✨

This custom 5' x 7' hit-or-miss style rug is headed for a client’s bathroom and we are loving this color combination already 💙💛🤍🩵

With beautiful yellows, creams, blues, and teals woven throughout, this piece is currently only one foot wide — but it’ll be growing quickly soon so stay tuned!

Another special custom in the works ✨

This small runner is being made for a beautiful home built in the 1700’s! Because the room is so small, they needed a rug that was both narrow and long to fit perfectly at the end of their bed.

That’s the beauty of going custom — getting the exact size and color combination you want for your space 🏡

This one is going to be absolutely perfect when finished 🤍
