FAQ
Custom rug questions.
How does the custom rug process work?
Submit your concept or inspiration, then Thread Theory refines the artwork for tufting, prepares a digital direction, finalizes material and texture recommendations, begins production, and finishes the rug for shipping, pickup, or installation planning.
What affects pricing?
Each rug is individually tufted and priced according to artistic complexity and production time. The main factors are rug size, material selection, texture complexity, color count, sculpting or carving detail, and timeline urgency.
What rug sizes are available?
Custom work can include small accent rugs, oversized statement pieces, runners, wall hangings, irregular sculptural forms, and installation-scale textile work.
Can I submit inspiration images?
Yes. You can share sketches, Pinterest screenshots, logos, moodboards, paintings, color palettes, reference rugs, brand files, room photos, or a written concept.
How long does a custom rug take?
Most commissions are planned in a 4-8 week window after design approval. Rush and event deadlines are reviewed individually.
Can you make logo rugs?
Yes. Logo and brand rugs are available, with guidance on simplifying details so the final piece feels premium rather than overly literal.
Can highly detailed artwork be tufted?
Yes, with translation. Ultra-fine details may need simplification because tufting has physical fiber limitations. Some artwork becomes stronger when adapted into bolder shapes, clearer color fields, or carved dimensional details.
Can you help develop my idea?
Yes. Thread Theory is a creative collaborator, not only a fabricator. Concepts can be shaped through artwork refinement, scale guidance, material recommendations, and texture direction.
Can I preview the rug before production?
Yes. Custom projects can include digital renderings, color previews, texture recommendations, and rug-ready design refinement before production begins.
Can I request yarn samples?
Yes. Yarn and color samples can be requested before production so you can compare wool, acrylic, rayon / art silk, sheen, and density.
Which yarn is best for high-traffic spaces?
Quality wool and acrylic are strongest for high-traffic spaces. Wool carries the most premium natural feel; acrylic offers practical durability and color vibrancy.
What affects the final quote most?
The largest factors are yarn type, rug size, density, design complexity, carving detail, backing, timeline, shipping, and delivery needs.
