Made To Measure Rugs does exactly what its namesake suggests - it allows you to design your own rug to your room's specifications and then have it handmade for you by their professional London-based design team. And with prices starting at a very reasonable £249, you won't find better value for money.

To order your rug, you simply send the company a brief description of your idea, including any images that may have inspired your design via the Made To Measure Rugs website. The site lists the names of the all the wool colours currently in stock, and you should also include specific measurements including the total rug size, the size of your design, the distances between the top, bottom, left and right of the rug, and where you want your design placed.

Once your design has been vetted and approved by the Made To Measure Rugs design team, you pay £100 as a deposit and receive a copy of your design to sign off. Once your final payment is received, your rug goes into production. Delivery is free of charge.

For those too nervous to go it alone with their own designs, Made To Measure Rugs also stocks a range of striking contemporary designs including geometric retro-style patterns, sophisticated florals, and bold solid colours. The children's range includes a cool circular football rug, pretty butterflies and the option to add a child's name to a rug at no extra cost. Plain rugs are priced from £79 and patterned rugs from £99.
