Tibet Rug Company announces a new rug design for 2010 – Desert Sunset (80 knot count).
This custom rug was created for the Marriott lobby in Bangalore, India. The lobby rug was to be a 116′ x 16′ piece that was to be inset in the lobby of the hotel. We would have had to make the rug in 3 pieces and then put them together. For the design, we were given images of the hotel decor and asked to design something based on elements such as the wall paper, light fixtures, etc. We came up with the design (picture of 3’x 3’ sample) and the designers absolutely loved it. The design includes 4 wool colors and 16 silk colors.

This Modern Nature Designs custom rug was created for the Flair Towers lobby in Chicago. The owners of the building wanted something different, with “flair”, so we designed this rug based on a classic motif that includes elegant looking dogs. The rug is an 100 knots per square inch 100% Tibetan wool 8′ x 10′. The design includes 11 colors. The detail in the design came out perfect!

When decorating a home, whether you are a professional interior designer or a self-sufficient home owner, you will have run across the question of what to do with the floor. Wall to wall carpeting can be boring, stone and tile can be hard to live with (and hard on the feet), and hardwood floors can need something to break up the endless parallel lines. An area custom rug is often the answer.
But, once you have decided you need an area rug, now what? Well, you may have spent hours trolling through various shops, department stores, and home improvement stores. Many people have found what they need in these places and often you can get a machine-made custom rug for an additional fee. However those who are not interested in “disposable” rugs made with cheap materials (meant to be used for a couple years and then tossed out) are often frustrated by the selection. And increasingly, people have discovered someone in their family has developed allergies to the synthetic nylons and glues that make up these mass produced rugs.
Hand-knotted rugs on the other hand, are desirable for their beauty, quality, warmth, natural organic materials, and investment properties. They are often family heirlooms that have been passed down by generations. If you are lucky enough to have one of these beautiful rugs, you may in fact, be starting with it as a base and decorating the room around it! read more »
