Transform Your Space with Unique Rugs and Carpets

Modern carpets and rugs, though similar, serve unique functions in Singapore. Carpets are extensive coverings, usually installed from wall to wall, providing both insulation and comfort to an entire room. They typically require professional installation. Meanwhile, rugsare versatile floor coverings that can be placed strategically in various parts of a room. These pieces effortlessly introduce colour, texture, and warmth to your living spaces.

Our rug collection is exclusively made to order, so you have the advantage of deciding the ideal rug size for your home. From area rugs or to small accent pieces, you can select the size that best suits your needs. Here’s a list of the standard rug sizes based on market popularity:

• 170 x 240cm
• 200 x 300cm
• 220 x 320cm
• 270 x 360cm 
• 305 x 420cm

Choosing the right rug size depends on the dimensions of your room and the furniture layout. A common guideline when incorporating a rug in a room is to ensure that it is large enough to fit under the front legs of all major pieces of furniture in the seating area.

Rugs can be made from a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits. In Singapore, wool is a popular choice, prized for its durability and softness. Another favoured option is cotton, which is lightweight and easy to clean, making it ideal for busy households.

For those with pets or children, synthetic options like nylon and Tencel offer excellent stain resistance and durability. Meanwhile, natural fibres, such as jute and sisal, provide a rustic, outdoors aesthetic that complements various interior styles.

It's recommended to professionally clean your rug every 12 to 18 months in Singapore, depending on the level of foot traffic and exposure to dirt and allergens. Regular professional cleaning helps maintain the rug's appearance, prolongs its lifespan, and ensures a healthy indoor environment.

Between professional cleanings, you can also take the following steps to maintain your rug:

• Vacuum: Do this one to two times a week to prevent dirt from penetrating the pile. Make sure you use an attachment with a smooth surface to avoid aggravating the shedding process. 
• Rotate: Consider rotating the rug every three to six months to ensure even wear and fading.
• Clean: In the case of mild spills or stains, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent them from setting. For tougher stains, blotting with a mild detergent solution can do the trick.

Additionally, do follow the specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer, as the rugs may have unique materials that require special attention.
