Make Your Mark on Your Room Design
More and more rug makers are showing programs whereby interior designers can design a custom rug for a room, a bespoke rug that no other room on earth has.
Most rug makers will protect you and your design. They will not make a rug you designed for anyone but you.
A Time Saver
It can save you time. Often when a room is designed, everything that goes ON the rug or on the walls is picked out first. Then it can be quiet a chore to find a rug that fits the chosen furnishings.
This time-consuming task is cut short if you can pick from 180 different colored yarns, put them into one of 43 design patterns (with more coming soon) and quickly match the colors in the other furnishings. And in the comfort of your home/studio.
Geometric design colored with browns and black.

The program that we are introducing today is from Tamarian. It is far faster and less expensive than Tamarian's normal custom program.
A rack of available design patterns. In total there are 43 to choose from.
Designers use a yarn sample book to find and work with the right colors.

This rug design setup is in a rug showroom. However, you can design rugs on your own computer.
You can create a CAD rendering of the design or designs that you like for discussing with clients.
Rugs designed in the program can be made and delivered within three months. There is no size limit.
A one-by-two strike off can arrive in around four weeks.
The designer can upload a picture of the room where the rug will live and the program will show what it will look like there.
