How to commission a bespoke tufted rug from Studio Tuft
Welcome to my guide on how to commission a tufted rug, here I go into a little more depth about the commissions process and how it works.
How much does a bespoke tufted rug commission cost?
First things first, costing I want you to know how much it will cost so you can make the decision about how we proceed. To the left is a guide to rug commission prices. Please note if the rugs is complicated the price may increase.
For this to happen I need to know the size and shape of your desired tufted rug. From this information I can use my formula to create the quote price for you.
If you are outside the UK I will also need to know where I am shipping it to so I can include this in the quote cost.
What design and colour scheme do you want you bespoke tufted rug in?
Choose your design, I have made hundreds of rugs with different colour schemes and designs, have a look through my archive rugs page and pick out some designs you like.
I can combine bits from different rugs to create something that is just perfect for you.
All I need to know is the designs you like and a colour scheme that fits your needs. If you are not sure what you want I am happy to help send me pictures of your room or I can do a site visit if you are local.
Studio visits, house visits and sample cards
Studio visits
You are very welcome to come and visit my studio and see the quality of the rugs in person, see the set up and most importantly choose the rug wools for your tufted rug. I have lots of cones of wool for you to choose from you can choose colours from rugs that you can see in my studio and take a sample card of the wools home with you.
House visits
If you are in the local area I am very happy to come and see the space the rug is intended for, seeing the rooms decor and the size can be helpful as well as talking though your ideas and concerns with colour pallet and designs. I can bring a shade sample card of wools with me so we can see what works.
Sample cards and photos
If these are not options I can post a sample card out to you which is a card with wool samples on. You can choose the colour that works in your home and you can see the colours through out the day and in different lights.
Instead of a home visit sending a few photos of the space is also a good idea so that we can be on the same page about the design.
Studio Tufts designs for bespoke tufted rugs
I am happy to do as many design drawings as it takes to get the right rug design for you, I want you to be happy with the design and have no reservations. I want your rug journey to be stress free for you and I want you to have peice of mind.
First I will do 3 or so different initial designs often very different so you can see options of what could happen. I draw these designs on pro create (an example is to your left).
I will send over and let you mull over the designs, you can choose one straight away or make amends, more of a colour, an area more defined, I am happy to make any changes. If the initial designs are not right at all we can go back to the drawing board and that is totally fine.
I am happy to make as many design drawings as it is needed for you to feel happy moving forward.
The transactional part of commissioning a bespoke tufted rug
Once the design in confirmed I will make an invoice and send over to you, I don’t take payment before the design is sorted as I don’t want people to feel pressured at the design stage.
I ask for 1/2 the rug cost up front and the second half on delivery of the rug. You can pay all up front if you like too.
How long will it take to receive my commissioned bespoke tufted rug
My current lead time is 4-6 weeks from payment/ design approval although this does depend on the time of year and the size of your commission.
In some cases I may need to order in wool and this can add an extra week to the production or I have the wools and a gap in time which makes it quicker.
I will keep in touch with you and give an estimated delivery date and update if anything changes.
If you need you commission by a certain date I will do my best to make that work and can slot things around to do that.
How will my tufted rug arrive?
If you are local I can deliver to your home, its so nice to see where the rugs end up especially when I have worked with someone to create something extra special for them.
You are also welcome to pick up the rug from my studio and I can post out like I would any other rug.
I use 100% recyclable packaging including paper tape.
I use parcel force 48 hour service which is tracked, your package will arrive will arrive 2-3 days after posting depending on the time posted.
