More than a piece of carpet

We believe that a rug should be more than simply a piece of carpet. It can transform a room, bring together colours and furnishings, protect your flooring or even preserve something that has sentimental value.

That is why we offer a completely bespoke service, allowing you to choose the size, shape, carpet and edging to create something that is unique to you.

Give your carpet a new lease of life

One of the things we love most is taking carpet that might otherwise be thrown away and turning it into something useful and beautiful.

If you have leftover carpet from a recent flooring project, we can turn your offcuts into bespoke rugs, runners or mats. It is a great way to make use of expensive carpet rather than letting those valuable pieces go to waste. We can also work with brand new carpet, whether you already have something in mind or need help choosing the right finish for your home.

Sometimes it is not simply about the carpet itself. We have worked with customers who have old or treasured rugs and carpets that have been part of their family for years. With the right finishing, these pieces can be given a new lease of life and enjoyed for many more years.

Make a statement with a bespoke stair runner

Stair runners are a beautiful way to transform a staircase, adding colour, texture and personality while creating a stylish, finished look. A bespoke stair runner can be made to your exact measurements and finished with either quality tape edging or traditional yarn whipping.

Tape edging is particularly fashionable at the moment, with bold contrasting colours, subtle neutrals and patterned tapes all being used to create a statement staircase. For a more classic or understated finish, beautifully matched wool whipping gives a softer, timeless look.

Your staircase is one of the first things people see when they enter your home. Why not make it a feature?

Beautiful edging, your choice

The finishing touches make all the difference. We offer professional wool and hard-wearing outdoor yarn whipping, as well as quality tape edging in hundreds of colours, patterns and styles.

Whether you want something subtle that blends beautifully with your carpet or a contrasting edge that makes your rug stand out, there are countless combinations to choose from. We can create rugs and runners for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, offices and commercial spaces, as well as bespoke stair runners.
