Design without limits with the help of our creative team. Here we take you through the steps involved in creating a bespoke hand tufted rug, highlighting exactly how to make your vision a reality.
Our hand-tufted rug portfolio offers a selection of designs from fluid shapes and textures to abstract geometric shapes and stripes. Select any of our designs as a starting point to create a bespoke rug that is individual to your needs. Perhaps you have found a design you love but would like a different colour, or maybe the design and colour are perfect for your room, but you can’t find the right size? All of these alterations are possible. Our design team work with you to make sure we create a rug that exactly fits your specifications.
If you can’t seem to find the right rug anywhere, speak to our team to explore your ideas further. You may have a paint colour or fabric that you’d like to try and match or perhaps you’ve visualised an entirely original design? The beauty of our bespoke hand tufted rug service is that each rug is made individually, enabling an original, creative, and collaborative platform for our clients.
There are several important elements to consider when designing your perfect rug, and by using our bespoke design service you can make each of these elements individual to you.
The starting point when designing a bespoke piece, finding the right shape of rug for the space is a great place to begin. From square and circular to abstract or organic – the form you choose will influence the feel and character of a room. Take inspiration from your surroundings, echo architectural features like arches and fireplaces, or use flowing curves to soften modern and contemporary spaces.
From colour blocking to calming neutrals, our exclusive palette of 200 carefully selected colours offers endless possibilities. Find yourself inspired by a colourful textile or a vibrant trip to a far flung corner of the world? – our colour matching service enables you to create a unique shade. Our designers are on hand to transform these memories into a tufted design unique to you.
We have a portfolio of bespoke designs waiting to be uncovered, offering the perfect springboard for your imagination. Choose from a repeating geometric pattern in designs like Riley and Deca, or embrace the soft undulating bands of Arc or Atlas, and rework elements into a completely new creation. Impact can be found through tessellating shapes, bold stripes and sharp lines. Or why not look to a favourite era or artist and use graphic patterns or geometric lines to create the right look.
Unlike our flatweave, our hand tufted rugs use varying pile heights alongside looped texture, long tufts, cut pile and hand sculpted finishing. Alternating heights can create a playful and three dimensional quality. Look to designs like Descend and Dune for a more natural and organic aesthetic, or Summit for statement making texture. Our long pile and sculpted textures create an intensity of depth and movement. For a clean contemporary finish, choose a neatly sheared short pile.
First contact our team. You may want to talk through your ideas at the very early stages, or approach us with a definite vision using sketches, swatches or dimensions that are important to your project.
With two types of yarn in over 200 colours, you can choose any combination from our in-house palette. If you have an exact colour in mind, use our colour matching service.
We will explain all of your options and understand your needs exactly before bringing in our design team to start realising your ideas. We can also show you examples of different tufting methods and pile heights to highlight the textures and aesthetic they produce.
Our design team then produce digital CAD drawings, yarn poms and yarn wraps as required.
We can produce a 40x40cm custom sample of the design to really help you visualise the final piece.
Once you are happy and the design is signed off, we turn those ideas into reality at our specialist hand-tufting facility in Devon. Our team will begin hand-tufting your rug with our 100% British-blend wool.
After hand-tufting, your rug will be backed, sheared or sculpted and hand-finished by our team of skilled craftspeople before it is carefully packaged and delivered to you.
Once your new rug is in situ, why not share some images with us, we love to see bespoke projects realised.
