What are your trade terms and discount structure?
Trade pricing reflects designer margin expectations and business volume. A designer referring multiple clients annually might receive different terms than one-off projects. We’re flexible and discuss mutual benefit upfront. Volume commitments (e.g., $X annually) can unlock premium terms.
How do I budget for a custom rug project?
Simple budgeting: determine rug size first. Larger rugs cost more per square foot due to material volume. Material choice (wool vs. silk vs. synthetics) drives cost. Construction type (hand-knotted is priciest; hand-tufted and flatweaves are more affordable). Design complexity adds slightly. Provide a budget range early so we can propose appropriately.
How do you calculate rug pricing?
Pricing formula is transparent: material cost + labour + overhead + margin. Larger rugs use more material, so cost scales with size. Labour-intensive constructions (hand-knotted) cost more. Complex designs require more skilled artisans. We itemise pricing in proposals so you understand the breakdown.
Do you offer hospitality-specific pricing?
Hospitality projects command different economics than single residential rugs. We offer tiered discounts based on total spend and often work with flexible payment terms aligned with your project milestones. Let’s discuss your budget and scale early.
What’s the difference between residential and trade pricing?
Trade pricing reflects designer markup expectations and long-term relationship benefits. Residential clients can achieve similar discounts through bulk orders or referral programs. There’s flexibility in pricing if you’re planning multiple rooms or referring colleagues.
