Whether it is to stand out or to blend in, a custom rug can add the ultimate finishing touch to your room. Sometimes our interior decoration can make it difficult to tie different elements, colours and styles together. Whether you have a passion for a particular design concept or era when it comes to decoration, or you wish to tie architectural features to your décor, a custom rug can be the perfect answer.
Rugs can be made to almost any design, using a plethora of colours and made to almost any shape or size. Skilled artisans are able to carve areas of the rug to give them added depth and texture or to create a three-dimensional effect. Most custom rugs are made in wool but there are various qualities that can be chosen from depending on budget. Some like to add highlights of viscose or artificial silk, or even have the entire rug made in this luxurious fabric. Others with larger budgets may wish to have their entire rug made from real silk or have their design hand-knotted, a more expensive and time-consuming process but providing a rug that could last generations, becoming a valuable family heirloom passed down from father to son, mother to daughter.
Another benefit of a custom or bespoke rug is that you can achieve luxury-end designer appeal for a fraction of the cost. While some high-end designer rugs can cost upwards of £1000 per metre square, a custom rug, although perhaps more expensive than a standard every day floor-covering, can cost anything from a tenth of that price.
Bespoke rugs are based on a design supplier either by the client or on an existing design or image. The materials are selected and the colours chosen, a reputable trader will have a colour box allowing you to select colours or wool and/or viscose. Once designs, colours, shapes and sizes are confirmed a deposit is generally taken allowing work to begin. Custom rugs are generally hand-tufted in countries such as India or Nepal by skilled weavers and artisans, they take around 12 weeks to complete and arrive due to the transport methods used by most specialists. However, many specialists will be willing to offer a priority service for an additional fee, sending your rug over via a courier as soon as it is ready meaning you could have a rug made and delivered to your home within a month.
