About us

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.

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.

'Rug Couture really went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my rug. Their friendly service made me feel like my project was the most important one they had. The end result? A gorgeous rug that feels uniquely mine!'

Sian P.

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 can last for years to come.
