A Rug For Every Room

Is there such a thing as having too many choices in interior design? For many, the variety of options can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to selecting a beautiful rug to complement a room. This often results in many having to settle for readily available designs on the shelves, lacking the personal, creative touch that makes a rug truly fitting for your space.

While this approach may seem like a perfect idea, customising each rug to reflect the unique style of every room can really elevate your overall scheme. Made-to-measure designs or bespoke rug services offer an ideal solution for those who want to bring their dream room to life but need a little assistance visualising their masterpiece.

Explore our ‘Make Me A Rug’ service in more detail to find out if creating a bespoke piece is the perfect way to bring your vision to life.

Allowing you to design your own bespoke rug that’s both creative yet simple, whether that’s by incorporating splashes of colour to your décor or pairing fresh neutrals with an intriguing textured rug. There really is an option for everyone.

If taking your ideas out of a notebook feels tricky, our ‘Make Me A Rug’ service can make it slightly easier. This tool allows you to visualise a realistic room setting, with a rug that adjusts to your design choices, helping you confidently make that final decision.

The Bedroom

Introducing a soft rug to your bedroom not only provides extra comfort underfoot but adds colour, warmth and texture, contributing to a restful atmosphere. If, like us, making the mornings ever so slightly easier is your goal, adding a large, warm, wool rug either underneath or beside your bed will transform your bedroom into a haven of comfort and style.  

Why not choose the bespoke option? Our Quirky Bloom made-to-measure rug is a lovely example of how to infuse colour and texture into your bedroom, perfectly complementing and elevating your existing décor using a patterned, bordered rug.. Crafted using our floral Quirky Bloom Polenta carpet with a deep green Anywhere Everest border, this bespoke rug, designed using our ‘Make Me A Rug’ service, beautifully captures the room’s whimsical and feminine nature. Highlighting the rich greens of the foliage and luxurious accessories, adding a touch of elegance and harmony to the space.

The Bathroom 

While some might shy away from placing a rug in the bathroom, choosing a synthetic material designed to withstand moisture could be an ideal solution for those wanting something softer underfoot. 

Go bespoke and design a bathroom rug that infuses the room with a sense of zen. Faux fibres are best for replicating natural textures with no need to compromise on comfort. Our Anywhere carpet lives up to its name, offering exceptional versatility for both indoor and outdoor living spaces. Its highly durable qualities make it perfect for creating bespoke rugs for the bathroom. See below how our custom-made Anywhere Panama Syrup rug, with an Anywhere Fairy border, has transformed the space with its beautiful blend of soft tonal browns and gentle neutrals.

A living room rug can largely influence the overall feel of your space. It’s a highly effective way to explore your creativity and experiment with charming colours and textures. 

For a truly beautiful end result, going bespoke is the best way forward. Adding a large area, patterned rug is a vibrant way to complement statement furniture in your living room, creating a relaxing and cohesive scheme. Our Wool Herringbone Zig Zag Morel bespoke rug with a Rainbow Bleu patterned border elegantly enhances the different tones of the furniture without overwhelming the space.
