What factors affect rug pricing?
Pricing scales with size significantly. A 5×8 ft rug costs much less than a 10×14 ft rug even in the same construction. Material matters: wool is moderate; silk adds luxury and cost. Synthetics are economical. Design complexity (intricate patterns cost more than simple designs) slightly affects price. Customisation is usually built into the price.
What pile height options do you offer?
Lower pile (8-12mm) is more practical for high-traffic areas and shows patterns crisply. Higher pile (15-20mm) is luxurious but requires more maintenance and shows footprints. Flatweaves have no pile. We discuss pile height based on your space and traffic during design development.
Can I blend materials in one rug?
Blends are smart. You get wool’s durability with silk’s lustre, or cotton’s texture with wool’s warmth. Common blends include 70% wool / 30% silk for luxury with durability, or wool-cotton-jute for textured, eco-conscious pieces. Blends are discussed during material selection.
What sizes of rugs can you make?
Typical residential rugs range from 3×5 ft (bedroom) to 9×12 ft (living room). Hospitality projects often require larger or multiple rugs. Hand-knotted rugs have practical width limits (~4m without seaming), but hand-tufted and flatweaves can be larger. We discuss sizing during consultation.
Can I fully customise the rug?
Complete customisation is our core offering. You’re not selecting from stock options—you’re designing with us. The only constraints are material durability, loom capacity for certain sizes, and production feasibility. We’ll advise on what’s possible within your brief and budget.
Can you do non-rectangular rug shapes?
Non-standard shapes are achievable but require hand-finishing after production. Circular and oval rugs are common. Complex geometric or organic shapes take longer and cost more. We advise on feasibility during design development. Shapes are equally possible in all rug types.
What makes The Weaver different?
Our difference lies in our collaborative approach, material palette, and ability to execute both small residential projects and large hospitality installations. We don’t just manufacture—we design and problem-solve with you.
