About Rug Couture

Rug shown:Mountain - Yama 山 hand knotted New Zealand wool rug.

At Rug Couture all of our rugs and runners are produced on an individual, hand made basis.

Each piece is a dialogue between our clients, designers and the artisan skills of the master craftspeople who make them. This enables us to create rugs which are as individual as our customer’s needs, are as unique as the spaces they fit and which will last for years to come.

Rugs can make a statement; acting as a focal point to provide interest, spark emotion and stimulate conversation. A sympathetic design will zone and unify a space whereas a more minimal design will quietly anchor it; bringing solace and a sense of quiet. We believe such decisions should be as pleasurable as the finished piece itself which is why we offer a range of services that can be tailored to your requirements, all supported by our complimentary sample service and expert team.

Customisable Rugs

If you would prefer to customise your rug from the comfort of your own home or studio we have an extensive library of designs. Choose from our hand tufted, shaggy, flatweave and natural rugs. Control all aspects of your order from shape, colour, size and pile depth online while being reassured that our team will be on hand should you need any advice and support. All our clients receive a copy of the final graph before their rug goes into production and once in production you can be re-assured that every piece benefits from the same level of artisan craftsmanship.
