Sarelli Interiors Textiles manufactures custom rugs for unusual spaces and non-standard room shapes. The Sarelli production team creates exact floor coverings based on client-provided architectural templates, accommodating any geometric requirement including a custom circular rug, an L-shaped hallway runner, or an asymmetrical lounge piece.
The Sarelli manufacturing facility produces seamless custom rugs up to 5.5 meters in width. Clients requesting dimensions larger than 5.5 meters receive a hand-seamed product joined by master artisans. The Sarelli design department requires precise AutoCAD files (.dwg) or physical Mylar templates to begin the Bespoke Customization process for irregular shapes. For complex architectural spaces featuring curved walls or structural columns, Sarelli technicians recommend creating a physical paper template on site. The client ships the physical template to the Sarelli Italian facility, ensuring the final custom rug matches the floor plan with a dimensional tolerance of plus or minus 2.0 centimeters.
Dimensional Limits and Shape Capabilities for Sarelli Custom Rugs
Sarelli custom rugs feature specific dimensional capabilities depending on the chosen manufacturing technique. Hand-tufted custom rugs allow for completely unrestricted shapes because artisans punch the yarn directly into a stretched canvas backing rather than weaving the yarn on a fixed-width loom.
The Hand-Tufted Production method yields a dense pile weighing 4.5 kilograms per square meter. Interior designers frequently select the hand-tufted method for a custom circular rug measuring between 2.0 meters and 4.0 meters in diameter. Hand-knotted rugs require traditional loom setups, limiting the maximum seamless width to 4.5 meters. The Sarelli team weaves hand-knotted custom shapes at 100 knots per square inch, using 38-micron New Zealand wool and 19-momme Mulberry silk.
| Production Method | Maximum Seamless Width | Shape Restrictions | Average Lead Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-Tufted | 5.5 meters | None (Any irregular shape) | 8 to 10 weeks |
| Hand-Knotted | 4.5 meters | Rectangular or Circular only | 14 to 18 weeks |
| Hand-Loomed Flat Weave | 4.0 meters | Rectangular only | 6 to 8 weeks |
Production Timelines and Costs for Non-Standard Rug Shapes
Sarelli Interiors Textiles applies a 15 percent to 25 percent pricing surcharge for non-standard rug shapes compared to standard rectangular dimensions. The exact cost depends on the complexity of the physical template and the total square meterage of the wasted material cut away from the loom.
Clients ordering a custom circular rug pay for the full square bounding box of the circle, because the weavers must construct the rug on a rectangular loom before carving the final shape. Irregular rug shapes also require specialized edge finishing techniques. Sarelli artisans apply a hand-serged edge binding to every custom circular rug and asymmetrical piece. The serging process uses the exact 38-micron New Zealand wool found in the rug pile, wrapping the perimeter at a density of 15 stitches per inch to prevent fraying along curved borders.
Sarelli requires a 50 percent deposit to initiate the dyeing process for Rug Materials. The Sarelli color laboratory matches custom hues using the Pantone Textile system, achieving a 98 percent color accuracy rate within 14 days of receiving the client reference.
