We can tuft rugs in many shapes.
Needless to say, they include all the common shapes:

  • Runners (long)
  • Circular
  • Oval
  • Square

Want a special shape?

Just send us a drawing or photo.

We match colors in 3 ways:

  • We use yarn color palettes with hundreds and over a thousand of shades
  • We pick the closest color and send you photos to approve before production
  • For large orders, we can dye new yarns in your exact color.

Our process ensures you get the perfect color for your rug.

We use a thorough 3-step process:

Digital Preview:
Our design team creates a detailed digital mockup of your rug.
This shows you how colors will be used in your design.

Yarn Color Samples:
We send photos of actual yarn color samples (called "poms").
These help you see the true colors in different lights.

Physical Sample:
For larger rugs (over 10 square meters), we offer to make a small physical sample of your design.
This lets you feel the texture and see exact colors in person.

This approach ensures you're fully satisfied with the colors before we start full production.
You can approve or request changes at each step.

We provide 4 ways to preview your rug:

Digital Renders:
The rugs in our online shop are computer-generated images. They're very close to the real thing, but small details may differ.

Project Gallery:
Visit our website gallery to see photos of actual completed rugs.

Additional Photos:
We have many more rug photos not shown on the website. Just email us to request these.

Sample (for large sizes):
As mentioned earlier, for rugs over 10 square meters, we can create a small physical sample.

These options help you visualize your custom rug before production.
Remember, the final product might have slight variations from digital images.

Yes, we can.
We're experienced in creating logo rugs.

Here's what you can do:

Minor differences from specifications or samples
Slight changes in design details

Caring & Cleaning

Cleaning our rugs is relatively straightforward:

For spills and accidents:

  • Act quickly with liquid spills
  • Blot immediately with paper kitchen towels
  • Continue blotting until the area is dry

For food spills:

  • Scrape up solids with a plastic spatula or knife
  • Blot any remaining damp areas with kitchen towels

Daily maintenance:

  • Use a vacuum cleaner regularly

Remember, quick action is key to preventing stains.

If you're unsure about cleaning a particular stain or rug type, feel free to contact us for specific advice.

Shedding is normal for hand-tufted rugs.

Here's what you need to know:

Cause of shedding:

  • Fibers from within the yarn work their way to the rug's surface
  • These loose fibers expand with air, appearing more bulky than they are

Important points:

  • Your rug is not disintegrating
  • The fiber loss has negligible effect on total pile weight
  • Shedding won't affect your rug's durability or beauty

What to expect:

  • Shedding is temporary and will decrease over time
  • Regular vacuuming can help manage loose fibers

This is a natural characteristic of hand-tufted rugs.

It's not a sign of poor quality or a defect.

No, you cannot wash tufted rugs.

Here's why:

Rug construction:

  • Tufted rugs have a layer of backing glue
  • This glue keeps the wool yarns in place

Glue properties:

  • We use water-dissolvable glue for health reasons
  • This glue doesn't emit harmful smells

Problem with washing:

  • The water-dissolvable glue will break down if the rug is washed
  • This can cause the rug to fall apart

Cleaning alternatives:

  • Use a vacuum cleaner for regular maintenance
  • For spills, blot with a damp cloth (avoid soaking)

If you need advice on cleaning a specific stain or maintaining your rug, please contact us for guidance tailored to your rug's specific needs.

Generally, dry cleaning is not recommended for tufted rugs.

Here's why:

Dry cleaning risks:

  • The chemicals used in dry cleaning can potentially damage the backing glue
  • This may loosen the fibers or affect the rug's structure

Safe cleaning methods:

  • Vacuuming for regular maintenance
  • Spot cleaning for small stains
  • Professional in-home cleaning by rug specialists

Professional cleaning:

  • If deep cleaning is necessary, consult a professional rug cleaner
  • Inform them that it's a tufted rug with water-soluble backing

Our recommendation:

  • Avoid both washing and dry cleaning your tufted rug
  • Focus on prevention and prompt spot cleaning for spills

If you're dealing with a difficult stain or have concerns about cleaning your rug, please contact us.

We can provide specific advice based on your rug's materials and construction.
