I got a burn in the carpet (fireplace rug/carpet recommendation)

[Fried Chicken]

Stupid house with a stupid design, but at least has a fireplace capable of actually burning wood... white carpet around the fireplace, an ember must have shot out, past my grate, and onto the carpet b/c there's a burn on the carpet now.

I stand before impending screaming and yelling.

Is there a rug/carpet that will ring the tile around the fireplace? I see some that are a a full semicircle:

but none that have a cutout so it goes around the existing tile of the fireplace.

Is there something I can cut out/fashion myself?

have tile or a hearth of stone installed a minimum of 2 feet wide in front of the fireplace...you might be a better off with a propane insert though...

Anyone that has carpeting around any wood burning appliance is nuck'in futz. Even our solid fuel (pellet) stive sits in a brick base and nothing combustible within 4 feet of it's perimeter. If your homeowner insurance agent ever saw that, you'd be cancelled.

Of course our floors are all engineered hardwood anyway. I don't like carpeting anywhere, anyway.

I could potentially extend the tiling

This is how we did ours. Has worked well so far

That's gorgeous. Very nice use of gray tile to hide ash mess
