We make all rugs, runners and stair runners to order
at our alternative HQ in Hampshire. As a rule, we’ll
always take the longest measurement to be the length.
There’s a surcharge for rugs and runners less than
two metres in width or over seven metres in length.
For the ultimate in personalisation, take advantage
of our online ‘make me a rug’ service. This handy
feature offers the chance to mix and match from all
our collection, border styles and border combinations
- create and view the results on screen.
We can handle unusual shapes, such as over 4 mitres/
corners or internal mitres (such as an ‘L’ shape),
depending on the size and dimensions. We can also
make circular rugs. However, all unusual requests
would need to be discussed and approved by our HQ
before we can give a price.
All leather borders are cut directly from the hide, so
joins in the borders are to be expected.

Calculating
the cost
1. Calculate the total area in square metres (M2) multiply (A) by (B) i.e. 2.50 x 3.50 = 8.75 (M2).
2. Multiply the (M2) by the (M2) price for the
chosen flooring.
3. Calculate total perimeter of the rug in linear metres
(LM) - A + B + C + D - i.e. 2.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 +2.50 =
12.00 linear metres.
4. Multiply the total perimeter by the binding price.
5. Add the square-metre cost (2) to the binding cost (4).
This is the cost of the rug.

Customers may find that the
corners of new rugs may curl, this
is quite common and is rectified
by reverse rolling (pile side out)
and leaving for a couple of days.
The best way to get your rug to lay
nice and flat is to complete this
process along the length and then
again along the width.
Information on our custommade rugs can be found in our
Borderlines and Colourscapes
literature.
