Having trouble finding the perfect combination of pattern, color, texture, shape and size? Do you want a completely exclusive design that will never be produced again? Have an idea in your head that would make a great rug? How about turning your child's artwork into a timeless showpiece?

Consider a custom designed Tibetan rug, hand-made by refugee weavers in Nepal. You may choose a rug from our library of designs, modify an existing design, ask us to develop a pattern that would be completely unique and specific to your requirements, or make your own design!

We aim to inspire you and want you to have your ideal rug, a rug that will complement and enhance your interior. With an extensive color palette, the perfect color combination is easily achieved using solid colors, varigated colors or a mix of colors. Colors are available in both vegetable dyes and chrome dyes, which are preferred when consistency of color is mandatory.

Available in 60 knot, 100 knot and 150 knot constructions, our hand-carded, hand-spun Tibetan wool can be used alone, or with silk highlights. We will work together to get the right construction for the pattern you've selected, as well as your budget. Custom Tibetans start at just $60 per square foot. All rugs are woven as swatches for production approval and can be adjusted before the full piece is made.

You can work with Little River directly to develop a custom rug -in our store or in your home- and you do not need to have an Interior Designer or Architect!

Creating a Custom Tibetan rug is very simple:
1) Select a design from our library or work with co-owner Tressa Kosowicz, a nationally recognized area rug designer, to create a design.
2) Specify knot count construction: (60/100/150).
3) Specify finished size and shape: (rectangle, square, circle, octagon, oval)
4) Specify if rug should be textured: (high/low pile, carving, cut/loop) and if silk should be used.
5) Select your colors from our color standard blankets (available in wool and silk). If you are not confident in your color selections, Tressa can make recommendations.
6) A printout of the computer design in the selected colors will be used for the sample go-ahead.
7) Small sample (strike off) will be ordered for production approval. This 1' to 2' square, depending on pattern/colors, will be available for review in approximately 6 weeks from initiation. {There is a small fee for this sample, which will be deducted from the final cost of the production rug.}
8) Once approved, your order will be confirmed with a 50% deposit.
9) Your Custom rug will arrive from Nepal in approximately 3-4 months.
Please note custom orders, once approved and initiated with deposit, cannot be cancelled.
As this rug was made especially for you, it cannot be returned or exchanged.
