You should think if there is something synonymous already out there. Vacant designs are a safe and secure way of having a rug that you know will complement your home. Many rug manufacturers out there are making various rug designs; the chances are that they work, which beg the question if you require a bespoke rug in the first place. If there are rugs out there in the right size and colors, then they are likely to be inexpensive than getting a rug made custom. The cost escalates for bespoke rugs are not the design process but the economies of scale involved in buying dyes. Drafting up the design onto a computer, then onto a canvas for hand-tufting, or a rug 'cartoon' for hand-weaved rugs, and small-scale shipping costs being significantly higher than enormous batch production. Vacant rugs are the most common source inspiration for bespoke rugs – several bespoke rugs take an existing design and tailor it a little bit, adapt the colors while keeping the pattern the same, or change the size to suit your home preference. Of course, several bespoke rugs can be more affordable than designer rugs providing a synonymous quality at a lower price tag, though; there is a difference, which is, absence of a designer sticker beneath.
