Care

How do I care for my rug?

You’ll find basic care instructions on the reverse side of the rug. Regular vacuuming (no beater bar), prompt blotting of spills, and rotating every few months help preserve its life. For deeper care, refer to our full Rug Care Guide.

Will my rug shed?

Shedding is a natural characteristic of rugs made from natural fibers, especially in the initial weeks of use. Regular vacuuming can help manage and reduce shedding over time. Our rugs undergo thorough finishing processes to minimize this occurrence, ensuring that they maintain their appearance and texture.

What is the warranty on my rug?

We stand by the quality of our rugs. For detailed information on warranties and care instructions, please refer to our Terms and Conditions. Should you encounter any issues, our team is here to assist and ensure your satisfaction.

Interior Designers & Architects

How do you ensure the quality of rugs?

When it comes to choosing a workshop, we partner with only the best. Our partner artisans are master craftspersons, and some come from a long line of carpet weavers and rug makers. Which means, every Space Warp rug comes with a seal of excellence.

Where is Spacewarp based?

We're based in Mumbai. Our rugs are handcrafted in villages across northern India.

Do you customise rugs? Is that better than picking something off the shelf?

Yes, we do. Everything we make is made to order. Whether it’s adjusting a design to suit your space or developing something entirely from scratch, we tailor each rug with intention. If your project has specific dimensions, finishes or a clear design direction, custom is almost always the better choice.

I'm unsure which rug to choose. Can I speak with someone?

Of course. You can send us your project details or schedule a quick call with our team. We’ll get back to you within 1 to 2 business days.

I have a design in mind. Can you turn it into a rug?

Yes. If you’ve got a sketch, a moodboard, or even just a rough idea, we’re happy to work with it. While we don’t replicate existing designs from other brands, we’d love to interpret your vision into something that’s truly yours.

I’m working on a project. How can we collaborate smoothly?

Send us your layouts, renders, or CADs or hop on a call with us. We’re used to working closely with studios and firms across timelines and touchpoints. Our goal is to make the rug process seamless.

Can you work from material boards or sketches?

Absolutely. We can sample yarns to match materials or adapt motifs to echo spatial elements. Reach out and we’ll build from what you have.

I need my rug urgently. Can it be completed before the lead time?

All our rugs are made by hand — one knot, one tuft at a time. The lead time we've set honours the process, the material and the hands behind it. While we can’t promise timelines shorter than what craftsmanship demands, we always do our best to deliver ahead of schedule where possible. If you’re working with a tight deadline, write to us with your project details and we’ll let you know what’s feasible.

Do you work with traditional or antique rug styles?

Our aesthetic leans contemporary, but our techniques are rooted in traditional craft. We’re open to interpreting antique or heritage references through a modern lens. If you have a direction in mind, we’re happy to explore it with you.

My client wants a wall-to-wall carpet. Do you offer that?

Yes. We’ve done wall-to-wall installations for boardrooms, lounges, and home theatres. Send over your requirements and we’ll take it from there.

Can your rugs be wall-mounted as art?

They can. Many of our designs translate beautifully as textile wall pieces. Let us know what you have in mind and we’re happy to scale or adapt a rug for vertical display.

What’s the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted? Which one’s better?

Both are crafted by hand. Hand-knotted rugs are more intricate thread by thread, knot by knot and they age beautifully. Hand-tufted rugs are quicker to make and more cost-effective. It really depends on the purpose and space. That said, if you browse our collection, you’ll see where our heart lies. You can read more about both techniques in our Craft section.

How do I start a project with you?

Email projects@spacewarprugs.com with your brief, timelines, and reference images or schedule a call. We’ll take it from there.

Can I order a swatch before placing a full order?

We currently don’t offer physical swatches. But we’re happy to send detailed close-ups, samples of yarns, or reference textures to help you decide confidently.

About Spacewarp

How can I contact Spacewarp if I have a question?

You can always reach out to us at shop@spacewarprugs.com

Are your rugs sustainable?

We keep production local, work with natural and recycled materials, and only make what’s needed. Nothing is mass-produced or held in inventory. It’s slower by design, and better for the planet

Are they pet- or kid-friendly?

Yes, especially our wool and PET yarn rugs. Let us know how your space is used and we’ll guide you to the best match.
All Spacewarp Rugs are crafted using azo-free dyes, which are safer for pets. They’re gentle on sensitive skin and reduce the risk of irritation or allergies. Even if pets chew or lick the rugs, azo-free dyes are a much safer option than traditional ones.

Will my rug look exactly like how it's shown?

Not exactly. Every Spacewarp rug is made to order and handcrafted by skilled artisans, which means no two pieces are ever identical.
There may be subtle variations in weave, texture, or tone this is not a flaw, but a reflection of the human hand behind it. These differences give your rug its own identity. We see that as part of its beauty. If you’re working toward a specific palette or finish, let us know, we’ll do our best to guide you with close-up images or material references.
