If Tufenkian has not programmed a round rug to suit your needs, the Tufenkian Custom Rug Program allows you the opportunity to create a round rug of any size from any design. Working with Tufenkian, you have an endless number of options for creating rugs with a custom shape, design or color combination.

A Custom round rug based on Barbara Barry's Melody design and installed in a private residence

Tufenkian, an innovator in luxury handmade rugs for over 20 years, has realized tremendous growth in their custom rug business over the last few years. This is due in large part to the development of Tufenkian's proprietary and state-of-the-art T-Gallery Rendering System. With T-Gallery, Tufenkian has perfected the craft of custom rug production, allowing customers to create rugs from their own imaginations, or to modify an existing Tufenkian pattern with new colors or a different shape and size.

To prove just how easy the process is, House & Garden's Senior Style Editor, Melissa Feldman, attended a Tufenkian Custom Seminar and created her own masterpiece. Melissa was walked through the process as if she were one of Tufenkian's clients. She utilized the T-Gallery computer rendering system that let her resize and recolor-choosing from over 1,000 color options and any Tufenkian pattern. Melissa chose the Kyoto design and changed the colors and size to meet her desire. She was later presented with a sample of her custom design. "Little did I know that selecting colors for a rug would be so easy. I was reminded of when I was a graphic designer and had to spec colors for type and backgrounds. I'm thrilled with how my rug turned out," said Feldman.

Currently, Tufenkian produces over 1,100 rugs per year in the custom program, with an even distribution between residential and commercial projects. All of the rugs created through the custom program are held to the same high quality standards that make Tufenkian Carpets the leader in its category. "No compromise necessary" is the unwavering philosophy by which Tufenkian's custom program operates. Tufenkian has even built additional looms when necessary to accommodate special orders and stay on schedule. Currently, the maximum loom size is 35' x 50'.

Over the past 20 years, Tufenkian's clients have created a multitude of unique rugs with the guidance of expert in-house designers and the T-Gallery system. Examples of Tufenkian's custom installations can be seen in the Westin Hotel in New York City, the Four Seasons in Miami and the Borgata Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City, as well as in some of the most extraordinary private residences and corporate offices around the world.

From creating a rug based on a child's watercolor to replicating a cell in the mitosis stage of separation, there are no limits to what Tufenkian can accomplish for its clients. It is an easy, fun and flexible process that results in what everyone wants for their home or work space: a beautiful and truly original work of art.

Designing and ordering a custom carpet is an exciting process filled with the anticipation of creating and owning a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. Tufenkian's Custom Program and proprietary state-of-the-art T-Gallery Rendering System,which was created specifically for Tufenkian has created a remarkable set of tools that make the process easy, enjoyable, and successful. The Tufenkian Color Rendering System is a patented computerized system that allows customers to quickly and simply change colors in any of Tufenkian's hundreds of designs and instantly see the result on the screen and in a printout. The Tufenkian Color Pod system contains 2-inch square pods of washed Tufenkian Carpets in a tantalizing range of colors. Using color pods together with the color rendering system it is now possible to imagine new colors for a Tufenkian Carpet, choose them, see what the carpet will look like using the Rendering System, and to confirm all color choices by referring to the color pods. Tufenkian can also produce woven 2-foot square strike-offs of any custom rug within 4-6 weeks for final confirmation by the purchaser before ordering the full custom carpet.
