Budget
Go natural with a snazzy-looking carpet from Natural
Area Rugs—in fibers such as sisals, wool, seagrass, and even bamboo, starting at $1.45 a square foot. Whether you need a carpet runner, odd shape, or have a large coverage area, the company can make a custom piece in one of nine bindings. Custom borders are available as well. Shipping within the continental United States is free, and what could feel more natural than that?
Mid-Price
Whether your guests are doing a waltz, the frug, or a line dance, TempoTile Dance Floor by EventDeck provides the solid footing for cutting a rug. (Even American Idol hopefuls have danced on it at auditions throughout the country.) Lightweight, three-foot-square pieces of simulated wood grain or colored laminate ($4.65 per square foot) snap together to create the floor space, or can unsnap into one-foot squares. Edge pieces, which bevel to the ground, are 98¢ each.
Splurge
Liven things up underfoot with a custom rug imprinted with a company logo, a product shot, or a virtually unlimited choice of graphic elements, from subdued to attention grabbing. The Godfrey Group will digitally reproduce an image on its carpets for $12.90 a square foot. You can also create a custom carpet color to match a special decor or theme.
