We are busy with the last minute rush of providing carpet installations & area rugs for summer homes and cottages. More often than not, we are jumping on the ferry and heading to Nantucket. We certainly can’t complain about working in such a beautiful spot!

One of our favorite spots on the island is Nantucket Looms an Island institution since 1968. The company was originally founded to create hand crafted fine textiles. The company continues to produce these textiles today but also offers a wonderful collection of furnishings, antiques and accessories for the home. Nantucket Looms also represent a wide variety of local artists so you can add a local artistic touch to your Nantucket home, or bring a bit of Nantucket back to the mainland.

Nantucket Looms also offers comprehensive design services. We have enjoyed working with them on many stunning projects over the years.

Colony Rug is located in Hanover, Massachusetts and installs carpeting throughout New England & beyond. We have many references in coastal areas including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.

Are you on Facebook? We are! Join us to stay up to date on the latest carpet & rug styles, design trends and installation images.

You Won’t Believe These are Outdoor Rugs

Outdoor rooms are the latest frontier in home design. People are creating outdoor spaces with all the details that you can find inside. Outdoor rugs, lighting and accessories all help to create comfortable outdoor “rooms”. These rooms are wonderful spots for entertaining or just relaxing with a good book on your own.

Surya Outdoor rugs are an unexpected addition to outdoor spaces. These rugs are so beautiful you really can’t believe they can be used outside. The rugs are made from weather friendly 100% Polypropylene that is highly resistant to the ravages of the elements. They can be used on decks, patios and porches.

Of course, Surya Outdoor rugs work well indoors as well. Our customers often turn to outdoor rugs for high traffic – high mess areas such as kitchens, mudrooms and playrooms.

These are just a few of the styles and colors available in Surya’s Outdoor line.

Colony Rug is located in Hanover, Massachusetts but we can wrap and ship these Surya Outdoor Rugs any where in the U.S. & abroad. Stop by our showroom or give us a call at 800.458.4445 to learn more and see our extensive collection of fine rugs and carpet.
