TRUE CUSTOM RUGS–NOT MIX AND MATCH

Our Rugs Look Different Because They Are Different

CUSTOM-DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU

My custom rugs are designed for specific spaces in a client’s home. Rather than just changing a few colors or resizing a rug, I usually design an entirely new piece for the residence. This story illustrates how I work.

 

A New York designer wanted a sophisticated collection of rugs for a spacious Manhattan co-op. She chose a two-height, New Zealand wool and natural silk multi-colored helix design to establish a welcoming entrance. Then I created an abstract design of neutral tones plus touches of red for the living room. The strong color and irregular edges add vitality to space. The adjacent dining area picks up the same tones for the small geometric pattern, and a border with a golden silk helix ties these three rugs together.

Greys with touches of silver and gold color the elegant, high-low New Zealand wool and natural silk rug in the master bedroom. For a change of pace, as well as ease of cleaning, I used a hand-tufted rug, rather than a hand-knotted one, for the teenage son’s room. The pattern is a blow-up of upholstery fabric, but the colors tie this rug to the rest of the collection. Finally, for the guest room, I used neutrals with touches of coral and gold to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for this room.

I then ordered strike-offs (samples) to show to the designer. It takes 2-3 weeks to get strike-offs. If something needs to be changed, I will have a new strike-off made at no additional cost. Custom rugs normally take from 6-8 weeks for completion after strike-off approval; in this case, the clients were in a rush, so for a 15% upcharge (used to hire an additional team of weavers), these rugs were made in 4 weeks, plus one week for shipping from Nepal. This shows our “Quick Ship” program in action!

How We Work

When you choose me to design a custom rug for you, I don’t do what most rug companies do: offer you a standard design in a choice of 10 colors or a few sizes. Instead, I actually pick up a pencil and design a rug just for you! 80% of my work is one of a kind. You can have any size, to the inch and any color, custom-dyed. You can choose from a wide selection of the finest natural fibers and techniques. Your furniture is custom; your landscaping is unique.

Why would you choose a rug off the rack? I can design a suite of rugs that will give your interiors a sense of flow and unity, tying together the designs with color and repeated elements, but choosing the right technique for each space. Whether you are looking for one rug or a suite of rugs, please call me for a personal consultation. I believe that my motto truly sums up my company: Outstanding Design. Highest Quality. The Ultimate in Personal Service

Please call 718-768-3338 to arrange for a personal rug consultation, or write to me at the link below. I look forward to meeting you.
