Fine Rug Store brings four generations of hand-knotted rug craftsmanship to the homes of Smithfield, Virginia. Every rug we sell is a genuine handmade piece — knotted by artisans in the great weaving centers of Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan — and delivered directly to your Smithfield home. What separates us from online-only sellers is simple: we come to you. Our team offers free in-home consultations throughout Smithfield and the surrounding area, bringing curated rugs into your home so you can judge scale, color, and character against your own architecture before you decide — and because we are based nearby in Norfolk, Smithfield clients are also welcome to view pieces at our showroom by appointment.
Smithfield is one of Virginia's most charming historic towns — a beautifully preserved historic district of Colonial, Federal, and Victorian homes above the Pagan River, alongside gracious newer homes and waterfront properties. Its interiors honor the town's history while remaining warm and livable, and a hand-knotted rug is a natural fit. But scale and palette are hard to judge from a screen. That is why we bring the showroom to you. For clients furnishing a single room or an entire home, our specialists travel to your Smithfield residence, bring a hand-selected range of rugs, and help coordinate sizes, colors, and styles across the property, at no cost and no obligation.
Smithfield ranges from its historic district to waterfront and newer homes, and the right rug depends on the setting:
Smithfield's celebrated historic district, with its Colonial, Federal, and Victorian homes, is the natural home of classical rugs. Here Persian rugs, genuine antique pieces, and warm Oushaks complement period architecture and detail beautifully, and runners suit the center halls of period homes.
The gracious homes along the Pagan River and Smithfield's waterfront favor a blend of traditional and coastal. Here Oushaks, traditional pieces, and coastal rugs suit gracious waterside interiors.
Smithfield's newer homes and established family neighborhoods favor comfortable, versatile interiors. Soft Oushaks, traditional pieces, and transitional designs suit welcoming family living.
Smithfield design honors the town's rich history while staying warm and livable — period-friendly, gracious, and unpretentious. Hand-knotted rugs, each one-of-a-kind, are a natural fit. We are glad to help find pieces whose pattern and provenance suit period and gracious homes, and can discuss the history behind each rug.
Smithfield taste is historic, gracious, and warm. The styles our clients return to most:
From historic period homes to newer builds, sizing varies across Smithfield. Guidelines we bring on-site:

While we bring rugs directly to your home, Smithfield clients are also welcome to view pieces in person by appointment. Our showroom is at 836 Poplar Hall Drive, Norfolk, VA, a short drive from Smithfield. Seeing a range of hand-knotted rugs together — comparing colors, weaves, and sizes side by side in natural light — is often the easiest way to narrow down what suits your home. Appointments let us set aside pieces in the styles and sizes you are considering before you arrive. Call 1-888-703-0590 to arrange a visit, or to have us bring a curated selection to your Smithfield home instead.
We deliver hand-knotted rugs throughout Smithfield and the surrounding area, and for larger pieces and whole-home projects our team handles placement personally. Because every rug is a genuine one-of-a-kind piece, we encourage clients to reserve pieces they love early — once a rug sells, it is gone. An in-home consultation, or a visit to our nearby showroom, lets you compare several pieces before deciding.
Coastal Virginia brings humid summers and moderate seasons. Humidity is the main concern for fine rugs, especially in historic homes: use quality rug pads that allow airflow, avoid trapping moisture against original hardwood, and address damp spots promptly to prevent mildew. Rotate rugs once or twice a year, and have fine pieces professionally hand-washed periodically rather than steam-cleaned. Antique rugs in period homes reward gentle, professional care. Our family has run a hand-wash rug cleaning facility for generations and is glad to advise Smithfield clients, including on antique and older pieces.
