Rugs

What kind of rugs do we have?

Our range of rugs is constantly growing. We continue to source unique rugs with different styles, features & benefits. Our collection includes natural fibre rugs, machine-made synthetic rugs & machine-washable rugs. Depending on the features of the rug, our rugs are suitable for domestic or commercial use. For example, our low pile polypropylene rugs can handle heavy traffic & therefore, are suitable for heavy foot traffic in an office environment, whilst a wool rug that will shed may not be as suitable in an office environment with frequent foot traffic.

Where do our rugs come from?

As rug manufacturing & technology continue to develop & with rising costs in different regions, we continue to seek out & work with innovative rug manufacturers & makers to ensure quality & value. Our machine-made rugs are mainly manufactured in Turkey & Belgium, where there have been significant advancements in machine-made rug technology.

Our natural fibre rugs are mainly made in India. India is a leader in natural fibre rug production. Indian rug manufacturers have developed a reputation for making quality hand-loomed rugs & hand-woven rugs at good prices.

China is also becoming a leader in manufacturing machine-washable rugs.

We source different types of rugs from different countries to offer value & quality to our customers.

What should I consider when choosing a rug size?

When choosing your rug size, mark out your desired size with masking tape to get a visual representation of what size rug is suitable. Buying a rug online without measuring the space first can often lead to a rug being required to be returned.

How do I choose the right rug material?

Natural fibre rugs have many great benefits that include: natural heat retention & natural air humidifying. When deciding what rug material to choose, note that natural fibre rugs will shed. Over-vacuuming natural fibre rugs will cause more shedding. Consider the area where the rug is being placed & how the rug will be used. For example, if you want a rug that is low maintenance & can deal well with spills & pets, you may consider our range of non-shed, stain-resistant & easy to vacuum low pile polypropylene rugs.

How do I care for and maintain my rug?

To care for & maintain your rug, follow the care instructions that are provided for your rug. A common Lost Design Society rug care instruction label is: Light vacuum using suction only to remove loose soil & debris. Clean spills immediately ensuring never to rub the pile surface. Blot wet spills with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. Some stains may be cleaned with mild clear detergent & lukewarm water. If a stain cannot be removed seek specialist cleaning advice.

What are the latest trends in rug designs?

Some of the latest trends in rug design include neutral natural fibre rugs, transitional Persian-inspired rugs, contemporary modern rugs, mid-century modern rugs & art deco rugs.
