I was recently approached to create a custom made rug to be fitted into this break out area for students at University of Huddersfield , Canal Side West Campus, West Yorkshire, UK.
The stone floor in this converted mill was listed and therefore could not be damaged or any adhesives used.
The area needed to be templated to allow us to have a physical record of the area as no accurate plans existed of the seating and podium.
Each colour was custom dyed to match a set of colours that was chosen for the laminate treatments to be used in the interior.
The start of the semi circular rug being made in the studio in Mirfield.
The fitted rug was made slightly oversized to allow for it to be fitted around the seating area.
The front leading edges were "Taped and Turned" and slightly chamfered to prevent them being a trip hazard in this high traffic reception area.
The finished rug echoed the newly fitted circular lighting as well as the new interior colour scheme.
That's a really nice looking area rug. I have been looking for someone that can make custom rugs in the UK. How long does a rug like that take to make?

ReplyDeleteThe yarns take between 2 to 3 weeks to dye. The time it takes to make a hand tufted rug depends on the size as well as the complexity of the design along with how many colours are used. Normally I quote 6 to 8 weeks to make a rug of this scale and design.
If you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me;
