Oliver RoyA whole new rug with the best stores for carpets in Montreal
Choosing a carpet can be a minefield. Shag or Berber? Wool or synthetic?
And don’t even get me started on patterns! Geometric? Floral? Paisley? It’s enough to make your head spin faster than a Roomba on a hardwood floor.
But don’t you worry, because we’ve done the legwork (or should we say “rugwork”?) for you. We’ve scoured the streets of Montreal—both online and IRL, because we’re fancy like that—to bring you the definitive guide to the best carpet stores in the city.
So whatever carpet you desire, we’ve got the inside scoop on where to find your perfect match.
How much do carpets cost in Montreal?
On average, carpets in Montreal cost $7.5 per square foot. However, the final cost may change depending on the size, material, style, and quality.
How We Chose
1. ECARPETGALLERY
Location: 5700 Saint-Patrick St.
Contact: +1 888-466-6869
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM
We’ve got to hand it to ECARPETGALLERY. They’ve truly earned their spot on our list with their massive collection of over 30,000 one-of-a-kind, handmade rugs.
From traditional Persian styles to contemporary Moroccan and vintage designs, we were blown away by the range they offer.
When we visited their Montreal showroom, the staff gave us personalised design advice and even shared some handy rug care tips.
However, it’s by appointment only, which might not work for everyone’s schedule.
To make things easier, their online platform lets you browse by size, colour, or style. Even better, they have the option to deliver all across North America.
And the shipping experience? Flawless.
Overall, we were pretty happy with how smoothly everything went from start to finish.
Ensures customers receive long-lasting value
“Approximately 20 or 22 years ago, we purchased 3 100% wool rugs. Two of the rugs are the Timeless pattern, and the smallest pattern is Royal Kirman. After we moved to a much smaller space, we reached out to the company. We received timely, concise, and courteous replies to our questions. After much debate, we decided to keep the carpets. They are still beautiful, and the colours are still vibrant. The wear after two decades is minimal, and I still love them. You can’t beat these rugs for the quality, and the company stands behind them even after all this time. Amazing. Thank you.”

Exceeds expectations with colours that look even better in person
“I think I have bought at least 6 rugs from this store- it’s my tried and true for beautiful Persian rugs. They are excellent quality, colours usually better than in online pics. Rugs like this are expensive, but I think Ecarpetgallery has the best prices and it’s amazing value for the price. The shipping is crazy fast and customer service is also great though I have never needed to return a rug! They are always perfect.”

2. Tapis Decor Chantilly Carpets & Blinds Store
Location: 8160 Chem. Devonshire, Mont-Royal
Contact: +1 514-388-6060
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
What we love about Tapis Decor Chantilly is that they’ve been around since 1983. Their longevity in the market means they’ve had plenty of time to fine-tune their craft.
We checked out their 5,200-square-foot showroom, and we found it to be packed with top-notch suppliers like Shaw and Mohawk. This gives you so many options to play with.
The custom-cut carpets are a nice touch too, as they really help add that personal flair.
If you’re tight on time, their “shop at home” service is a game-changer. You can browse, consult, and even schedule installations without leaving your couch.
Beyond carpets, they’ve got everything from blinds to flooring, fabrics, and custom decorative rugs. Honestly, it’s a dream if you’re looking to refresh your space, whether it’s for your home or business.
Now here’s the thing, we’ve heard a few customers mention that prices can be on the higher side.
Ensures professional installation with impeccable results
“Irwin and his team were incredibly helpful, patient, knowledgeable and kind. The best service and the finest selection. They took their time showing us all the options and guiding us in the right direction. We are thrilled with our carpet and runner. Their installers were also so professional, and the work was impeccable. Highly, highly recommended!”

Creates a welcoming environment for exploring texture and colour
“Perfect fit! Erwin is a doll! I went with my mom after seeing the excellent reviews here on Google and we were not disappointed! The store is as impeccable as it is loaded with options for every budget. I love exploring texture and colour so I felt at home in this environment which is meticulously set up for you to find exactly what you need and quickly. Even If you’re indecisive, because the options are high end and plentiful, it’s an aesthetic buffet of sensorial delight for “touchy feely” folks, you’ll love taking a walk through to make the right decision. The pricing is available and clearly displayed on each swatch. Erwin was transparent, patient and respected our budget. Delivery was professional and lovely, Easy peasy! I can’t wait to return soon for our next home project! Thanks to the team, we are loving our new short shag vibes!”

3. Tapis d’Orient Bashir
Location: 8461 Decarie Blvd, Mount Royal
Contact: +1 514-735-1958
Operating hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Tapis d’Orient Bashir has been a gem in Montreal’s rug scene since 1976.
When we walked into their store, we were floored – literally. They’ve got over 3,500 handmade Persian and Oriental rugs, each one more stunning than the next.
What really impressed us is the quality; every rug is handpicked, and crafted with traditional techniques that promise to last generations.
Their collection is incredibly diverse too, including intricate floral designs and bold geometric patterns. This makes it perfect for any space, from a cosy apartment to a grand estate.
If you’re not finding exactly what you want, their custom rug service steps in, which is a huge bonus.
We also like that they handle cleaning, repairs, appraisals, and even rentals. It’s truly a one-stop shop for all your rug needs.
If you’re unsure about a purchase, their 30-day money-back guarantee and free delivery on orders over $500 add extra peace of mind.
It’s worth noting that some customers mentioned the owner wasn’t super attentive, which is a bit disappointing.
Offers a next-level selection of carpets with global delivery
“These are the best people in town. Super professional and personable. My family will only buy from here. Recently got a very dirty carpet cleaned and I am so impressed by the quality of the cleaning and the extremely reasonable price. I am very grateful that Montreal has this great family operated business. The selection of carpets is also next level with great delivery services across the world.”

Surprises customers with flawless results after tough stains
“Excellent cleaning service! I almost throw away our white rug after we’d spilled the red vine on it. However, I decided to try the cleaning service first. How surprised we were when we received back a brand new rug without any spot on it. BTW, we also liked the quality and the great variety of rugs in their shop. Strongly recommend it.”

What we love about Tapis Mondial is how they really make you feel taken care of. It’s a family-run store that’s built a solid reputation for its range of high-quality carpets, from modern to floral and even Oriental styles.
Whether you’re revamping a room or just adding a cosy touch, their selection is vast. Even better, the prices are genuinely competitive.
When we visited, Hassan, the owner, was super friendly and went out of his way to help us figure out which carpet would complement our space perfectly.
They even offer custom orders if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, which is a huge plus.
While customers were generally happy with the value they got for the price, some did mention that one of the staff members could have been a little more professional.
Guarantees a personalised and helpful shopping experience.
“Love, love my area rug from Tapis Mondial. The sales lady and the owner are very knowledgeable and very kind and helpful. They helped us pick the perfect rug for our living room. They have a large variety of rugs. You are guaranteed to find what you are looking for. I will be going back!”

5. Tapis Et Arts Arian
Location: 2005 Rue Jean-Talon E
Contact: +1 514-506-7314
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Tapis Et Arts Arian really stands out for its mix of traditional and contemporary designs.
With more than 40 years in the business, this family-run store has curated a fantastic selection. This includes everything from classic Persian rugs to modern, shag-style carpets.
We were impressed by the variety, whether you’re looking for a small area rug or something larger to make a statement in your living room.
Their liquidation section caught our eye too – scoring up to 40% off high-quality rugs is always a win. They even offer fast, convenient online shopping, with delivery to Montreal in just 2-3 days.
While a few customers have mentioned feeling restricted when browsing in-store, the overall service and selection left us pretty satisfied.
Combines seamless online and in-store experiences for customers
“Had a great experience with shopping online in this store. The website is enough descriptive which make decision making really easy with good number of pictures for each product. And the store happened to be near me so I went there to pick it up. The lady in there was very nice and helpful. I wasn’t sure about the size but she was nice enough to offer me a solution that if the chosen size didn’t match my room I could have returned the carpet and picked up another size but I ended up being happy with my choice. But man look at this beauty! What else do you expect from Persian Carpets but satisfaction!”
