Welcome to the Neighborhood

Belmont is one of the most sought-after communities in Greater Boston, known for its historic charm and beautiful architecture.

‘If you are moving into a new home in Belmont, Watertown, or Waltham, you likely have beautiful hardwood floors that need the perfect “anchor.”

In 2026, the standard “off-the-shelf” 8×10 rug is often not enough for the unique layouts of New England homes. At AJ Rose, we specialize in custom rugs tailored to your home’s specific dimensions. Here are five ideas to elevate your Belmont move-in.

1. The Grand Entrance Runner

Many Belmont homes feature long, narrow entryways with beautiful original wood. A custom-length runner—crafted from our high-end wool collections—not only protects the floor from New England slush but also creates an immediate sense of “home” for guests.

2. The “Cloud-Like” Primary Suite

In 2026, the master bedroom is a sanctuary. We suggest taking an ultra-plush SmartStrand or Silk-infused broadloom and having it bound into a large-format rug that extends well beyond the edges of your king-sized bed. This ensures your first step every morning is on total luxury.

3. High-Performance for the Mudroom

Belmont winters mean boots, salt, and sand. A custom rug made from high-performance synthetic fibers provides the look of natural sisal but is completely scrubbable. It’s the perfect blend of style and “Boston-Tough” functionality.

4. The Acoustic Office Anchor

With more people working from home in the Greater Boston area, acoustics are a priority. A thick, wall-to-wall-sized custom rug in your home office absorbs the “echo” of video calls and creates a professional, grounded atmosphere.

5. The Staircase Statement

While not technically a rug, our Custom Stair Runners are a hallmark of AJ Rose. We can take a bold pattern or a classic stripe and tailor it perfectly to your Belmont staircase, adding safety and a massive dose of style to the center of your home.
