Where to Find the Perfect Rug or Carpet in Singapore – Recommended Shops and Designers

Rugs in Singapore: How to Choose the Right One for Your Home

When setting up a new home in Singapore, one of the most popular interior items to buy is a rug or carpet. Whether you rent or own your home, a rug instantly changes the atmosphere of a space.

Benefits of Using a Rug

A rug does more than decorate. It helps to:

• Define zones within an open space.
• Express your interior style easily.
• Make floor cleaning simpler.

In this article, we introduce recommended rug shops in Singapore and basic tips for choosing the right one.
If you order through Sollys Design, you can enjoy a “designer discount”, so feel free to contact us before purchasing.

Rug Basics: Choose One Slightly Larger than Your Sofa

For the living room, select a rug that’s slightly larger than the sofa.
When the front legs of your sofa sit on the rug, the space feels more connected and balanced.
Size affects the overall proportion of your room, so choose carefully.

Rug Types in Singapore

You can find two main types of rugs in Singapore: ready-made and custom-made.

• Ready-made rugs are easy to buy, come in many sizes, and are usually more affordable.
• Custom-made rugs allow you to select the color, size, and material that best fit your home.

Some shops also offer semi-custom options—such as choosing only the size or color.
Selecting colors from yarn samples and designing your own combination is one of the most enjoyable steps, especially when done with a designer’s advice.

▲For custom-made rugs, you can select colors from pom-pom samples, just like in the photo above, and combine them to create your own original color palette. Incorporating the client’s preferences while coordinating with the overall interior is where an interior designer’s true skill shines.

Rug Materials

Material affects not only the look but also the texture and durability.

• Natural fibers (wool, cotton, silk)
  Soft and luxurious, perfect for long-term use.
  Wool quality varies by origin—Indian wool feels rustic, while New Zealand wool is softer and denser.
• Plant-based fibers (viscose, botanical silk, bamboo silk)
  Known for their silky sheen and light texture.
  They reflect light softly, giving a calm, modern feel—ideal for hotel-style interiors.
• Synthetic fibers (nylon, polyester)
  Less soft than natural fibers, but easy to clean and budget-friendly.
  Best for homes with small children or for short-term use
