We’ve all been there- scrolling endlessly online, wandering through showrooms, only to realize the “perfect” rug in your mind just doesn’t seem to exist. Maybe it’s too small, too bold, too bland, or just not the right texture. The truth is, most store-bought rugs are designed for the masses, not for your unique space.
That’s where custom rugs step in. At Loops by LJ, we believe every room tells a story, and your rug should be a defining chapter tailored to your taste, your space, and your lifestyle.
The Problem with Off-the-Shelf Rugs
1. Size Limitations
Standard rug sizes rarely fit perfectly. For an oversized living room or an oddly shaped nook, store-bought dimensions can leave awkward gaps or overwhelm the space.
2. Design Restrictions
Mass-produced designs follow trends, not your vision. If your décor calls for a muted palette with a specific geometric style, chances are you’ll have to compromise.
3. Material & Quality Compromises
From synthetic fibers that lack warmth to thin weaves that wear out quickly, ready-made rugs often cut corners on durability and comfort.
What Makes Custom Rugs Different?
Personalized Size & Shape
Whether it’s an open-plan home that needs a 12x15 rug or a hexagon-shaped piece for a reading nook, custom rugs let you dictate every measurement.
Exclusive Design Freedom
From minimal monochromes to bold patterns, you can create a design that perfectly reflects your personality.
Material Choice
Choose from 100% New Zealand wool, silk blends, jute, or textured combinations based on your lifestyle soft underfoot for lounging, or tightly woven for high-traffic areas.
Unique Craftsmanship
Every custom Loops by LJ rug is hand-tufted or hand-woven, ensuring no two are identical. That means your rug is as individual as you are.

Care & Maintenance for Your Custom Rug
- Owning a custom rug is a long-term investment, and with the right care, it can retain its beauty and quality for years. Here’s how to keep it looking its best:
- Regular Vacuuming : Light vacuuming once or twice a week helps prevent dust, dirt, and debris from settling deep into the fibers. For hand-tufted or delicate textures, use a suction-only setting or a vacuum with a brush-off option to avoid pulling threads.
- Spot Cleaning : Accidents happen, but quick action can save your rug from permanent stains. Gently blot (never rub) spills with a clean, absorbent cloth and use a mild, fiber-safe cleaner. Always test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden section first.
- Rug Rotation : Rotate your rug every 3–6 months to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas. This helps prevent one section from fading or flattening faster than others.
- Sun Protection : Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Use curtains, blinds, or UV-protective window films to shield your rug without compromising on natural light.
With these simple habits, your Loops by LJ custom rug will maintain its vibrant colors, soft texture, and structural integrity making it a cherished part of your home for decades.
