- We settle on a specific design.
- We pick the specific colors and texture.
- We create a Photoshop rendering to give a main idea of the look.
- Once approved, we send the rendering to our weavers. This includes the colors and texture.
- The weavers create a small strike off (around 2 feet by 3 feet). We send it to you to review and approve.
- One you reviewed the strike off, you may request changes. We send the changes to the weavers. They will then create a second sample based on your feedback.
- Next you approve the strike off. Then we give the green light to the weavers. They will first curate the materials, dye all the yarns build the loom. Next they will begin to weave your rug.
- Once the weaving of your rug is complete:
- The rug will come off the loom.
- It is then sheared.
- Then they washed and clean it.
- Then they take care of all the finishing touches.
- They ship you newly woven bespoke rug to us. We clear it from customs and receive it.
- Next we get it to you. You lay your new bespoke rug down in the room and enjoy it.

Shop Our Entire Collection Of:
Are you considering purchasing a vintage Moroccan rug or carpet? Are you having difficulty locating a piece that’s large enough for your space? We get this question a lot. Why? The original rugs from Morocco weren’t woven wider than 6 or 7 feet.
We have developed a method of joining two or more rugs to create large sizes. This is a process that is well-suited to Moroccan rugs.
Create Your Own Unique Custom Made Moroccan Rugs
Moroccan rugs are among the most beautiful and most used type of vintage rug. They lack asymmetry and have unique elements. These folk art rugs are distinct from other styles. That is why customers can create custom size rugs from two or more, separate rugs.
Moroccan rugs are abstract in design (more so in the Beni Ourain rugs). They feature non-repeating patterns of tribal elements and color. This makes them ideal for combining to create one unique rug.
* Vintage Moroccan rugs use brighter colors and abstract patterns. Combining them creates beautiful custom-made rugs. These rugs are perfect for a modern home.

You will notice that the longer rug reduced in size a bit. We did this so that the end-product wouldn’t be misshapen and irregular. All the while, the aesthetics of the longer piece remain intact. The result is attributed to careful and professional work.
* Colorful lines match the colored checkers of the other rug.
More Custom Made Moroccan Rugs:
The two Moroccan rugs pictured below are 3′ 10″ x 3′ 10″ and 4′ 3″ x 6′ 2″. A client chose these two to joined and crate a bigger one. The newly created rug was 3′ 10″ x 10′ in the end.

Custom Tiger Design Rug Samples Design Elements
The tiger design has been used for hundreds of years throughout Asia. You see them most in China, Nepal, Tibet, Korea, India and Malaysia. These designs express the elegance of the animal. They show the threat of danger and the symbolism of power, strength and respect.
Tawny browns and light tans blend to show the variations of the tiger’s coat. Pure white contrasts with the black stripes and golden hues of the coat. The fine knotting and short pile simulate the dense, thick, shiny fur. It feels like the sleek look of this kingly cat. The rendering of the stripes creates a minimalist feel. It complements decor ranging from modern to traditional.
Materials and Knotting Of Custom Area Rugs
The quality and type of materials affect the appearance. The type of knotting, knot count and kind of yarn contribute to the beauty and look. Our hand-knotted tiger rugs use age-old techniques with a high knot count. This creates a soft pile that works well here.
Nepalese wool is some of the finest in the world. Sheep in the Himalayas give thick, resilient, lanolin-rich wool. The wool is hand-spun and dyed using plant-based dyes. Hand-spun wool has more variation in strand thickness. This affects how it absorbs dyes. This creates subtle variations of color in response to light. Because wool yarn is thicker than silk, wool rugs have lower KPSI than silk carpets. The use of 100% wool gives a dense and coarse look. Wool is washable, durable and holds color well.
Silk rugs are the most luxurious rugs in the world. Silk yarns are thinner than wool, allowing a finer weave. Silk absorbs dyes in a more even fashion. It creates a rich sheen and luminous pile. These qualities give an elegant look to these Nepal rugs. Highlighting the shine and thick nap that emulate the texture of a tiger’s coat.
Combining wool and silk creates a beautiful gloss. It accentuates the subtle variations in pile thickness and texture. The silk captures the sleek look. The wool gives a realistic look of a woolly coat of fur. The combination of two is quite beautiful.
Nepalese rug weavers have adapted their weaving traditions. They create modern designs that suit current styles. We are proud to offer this rug in a minimalist tiger motif. You can order it in wool, silk and a combination of silk and wool.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
