A little bit about us…
How we work
We work collaboratively with interior designers and project leaders to create truly unique design solutions; offering a bespoke design service, a vast range of fully customisable rugs, runners, fitted carpets, wall hanging tapestries and home accessories along with a vast range of ‘ready to order’ collections.
About us
Led by Laylah Holmes, from her West London HQ, Holmes Bespoke is committed to building long lasting relationships, fostering a creative and enjoyable design experience whilst delivering exceptional quality every time.
Designed in house, we draws on the knowledge and expertise of our skilled artisans, whose centuries-old techniques ensure that each design is entirely one of a kind, crafted by hand to last a lifetime.
The Bespoke Design Process
We ensure a perfect shade match to ensure the chosen colours fit perfectly with your scheme, we help to determine the shape and size that best suits the space and work with you to select from an array of premium fibres, textures and techniques.
Our design team will draw artwork of your rug, allowing you to envisage how it will look within the space, we will then work with you to choose an area to sample and our skilled artisans will knot, weave or loop a bespoke sample so that you & your client can feel the quality and texture of the final piece.
Sampling can take up to 4 to 6 weeks, our samples are one-of-a-kind and they are made by hand using the same precision and skill as the final rug.
Artwork and samples are presented to you for sign off and it is then that the production of your bespoke rug or carpet can begin.
The production of your piece can take anything from 8 weeks to 14 weeks, however we usually deliver at around week 12. Each rug is entirely hand made from the dying of the yarn, the weaving, knotting or tufting through to the final finishing, carving or shearing.
We endeavour to use sustainable materials and ensure that our rugs are made from completely natural fibres, including wool, bamboo, jute, cotton, linen and hemp.
