George Haroonian, founder of The Rug Warehouse, is officially retiring after five decades in the business. For over 50 years, George has helped thousands of designers, homeowners, and collectors find the perfect rug — not just to decorate a space, but to define it.
Now, as he begins his next chapter, George is offering once-in-a-lifetime pricing on some of the most stunning rugs in the collection — from antique Persians to bold contemporary designs. This is your chance to own a piece of what George has built: timeless craftsmanship, hand-selected quality, and an eye for the rug that makes the room.
Before You Buy Your First Rug — George Would Want You to Know:
Size Matters – Measure your space before you fall in love. A rug that’s too small can make a room feel disconnected; too large, and it overwhelms.
Color Sets the Mood – Neutral tones can ground a space, while bold patterns add personality. Think about your walls, furniture, and light when choosing your palette.
Material Makes the Difference – Wool is durable and cozy, silk adds luxury, and natural fibers like jute offer a casual, earthy feel. Each has its own character and care needs.
Style is Timeless — or It Isn’t – Go for what speaks to you, not just what’s trending. A great rug lasts decades — just like George has.
Ask Questions – About origin, technique, knot count, materials. A quality rug has a story — and we’re here to tell it.
George always said, “The rug makes the room.” Now’s the time to find yours — with the kind of deal, and the kind of guidance, that only happens once in 50 years.
