Rather than being about glam and glitz, a truly one-of-a-kind, just-for-you space feels warm, welcoming, and sophisticated while reflecting personal style. This look can be created through bespoke items such as artworks, furniture, lights, rugs and sculptures.
Rugs are ideal when looking for a bespoke item, because on their canvas you can paint with colour, pattern, shape, size and texture, creating a statement piece around which a space, and a mood, can be based. Popular at the moment are rich colours such as deep reds and blues, sumptuous and soft yarns like mohair, layered textures and interesting patterns.
Shuttleworth Weaving, a family business that creates a range of unique, handwoven standard and bespoke mohair, wool and polypropylene products, shares what to consider when ordering your bespoke rug:
- Choose yarns suited to the placement of your creation: luxurious mohair is wonderful in low-traffic spaces to make a statement, family-friendly wool is ideal for family spaces, and hard-wearing easy-to-wash polypropylene yarn is designed for high-traffic places.
- Choose colours to complement your palette: through dyes, your bespoke rug can be in the exact colours you want.
- Choose sizes that will accent or match the spaces you have in mind. Bespoke rugs can be as narrow or as wide as you need as they’re designed for your space.
- Choose collaboration. Unlike choosing a rug from a shop, creating a bespoke piece leverages the expertise, imagination and creativity of rug experts to design and create a rug unique to you.
- Choose creations from skilled, local crafters so you have a creation in your home around which you can have a conversation and one which can become a family heirloom.
