Custom rugs and carpet for interior designers: any pattern, any color, any size, made through Interiors

Bring a sketch, a photo, a fabric, a pom, a rug you saw once. We and our custom mills make it: hand-knotted, hand-tufted, woven or bound from broadloom, in wool, silk, nylon or natural fiber, to the inch, installed anywhere in the country.

A custom rug, step by step

Julie's own photographs from two recent custom jobs: how a design moves from a sample a client loved to a finished rug.

Julie pointing to a blue and ivory sunburst sample used as the inspiration for a custom rug — 1. The inspiration sampleA rug the client already loved. The scale of the motif and the way the blue sits against the ivory are what we carry into the new design.

Upholstery fabrics laid on the sample with wool color poms on top — 2. Fabrics for pulling the color pomsThe room's fabrics go on the table with the sample, and the wool poms are matched to them in daylight.

Use the form for the basics: size and shape, colors or pom numbers, the pattern idea, the room and the install date. Shaped templates, curved stairs and hull or cabin templates are welcome; email the DWG or PDF to Julie@interiorsfineflooring.com with your firm name in the subject. We reply within a business day with questions and, when there is enough to go on, a rendering and a net quote. A deposit is taken when the rendering is approved; the strike-off ships to your studio, the client or the job site, and once the loom is set no change is accepted without a new strike-off. Available to trade accounts and designers applying for one.
