THE THREE CRUCIAL ASPECTS WHEN IT COMES TO CRAFTING A BESPOKE CARPET
To craft a bespoke carpet, the starting point involves determining three crucial elements: the shape, the material and the finishes. Before delving further into the details of these elements, let's take a quick look at their importance.
The shape you envision for your bespoke carpet is the first element to determine before embarking on the design process. Customisation allows for the creation of all possible shapes: rectangular, round, oval, square, and more. You will also have the opportunity to create a carpet with very specific dimensions. This way, you can furnish a very large space or one with unusual volumes. This creative freedom also allows for the creation of highly original shapes, departing from the traditional rectangle.
The material of your carpet will depend on the intended use and the desired aesthetic result. All our bespoke carpets benefit from meticulous craftsmanship, stemming from extensive experience. Regardless of the material, the quality is always there. However, the choice of material can allow for the creation of carpets with a higher standing. The material can also be chosen based on the desired effect, comfort or the location where the carpet will be installed. Indeed, we tailor our solutions differently based on whether your carpet is located in a reception area, a high-traffic zone or on stairs.
The finishes that will be done around the edges of the carpet are the final element to choose before moving on to manufacturing. They will depend on the shape, the material and the desired outcome. Thus, a corded finish may not be possible on a round carpet, but it will be particularly well-suited for natural materials.
BESPOKE CARPET SHAPES AND APPLICATIONS
Bespoke carpets are used by interior architects, designers, upholsterers, stand builders and individuals. The applications are very diverse and allow for styling very different spaces. Depending on the style of the chosen carpet, it can also help give structure to a place, bring a touch of elegance or add a hint of originality.
For events, bespoke carpets will primarily serve the following purposes :
• In-store or at a corner to furnish and decorate the space.
• In a showroom, also to bring a strong decorative element and make the place more inviting.
• At a stand, to demarcate a specific area or highlight it. It is possible to incorporate the colours of the company occupying the stand to create a cohesive environment.
The shape, material and finishes are therefore selected according to the application. A round carpet might be interesting for a stand, while a very large rectangular carpet will have an impact in a showroom.
CHOOSING THE COLOUR OF YOUR BESPOKE CARPET
Bespoke carpets are crafted from carpeting. Therefore, the first step is to select the right carpet model to start the project. All kinds of carpets can be used for crafting, from simple stand carpets to luxury carpets. In any case, CTN guarantees the use of high-quality carpets.
We recommend the following products for crafting a bespoke carpet:
• The Salsa carpet, a needle-punched carpet with a velour appearance. This material would work well for a stand or a stage.
• The Deep Pile Carpet, a very thick tufted carpet. This bespoke carpet offers a more upscale alternative, particularly suitable for spaces like hotels or for a luxury-themed showroom.
• The Sisal floor, which is crafted from natural fibres. The bespoke Sisal carpet would be ideal for decor in a natural atmosphere.
• Seagrass. Bespoke seagrass carpets are another solution to achieve a natural look.
VARIOUS FINISHES FOR A BESPOKE CARPET
There are several techniques for finishing a carpet and achieving a clean edge. We offer two, particularly well-suited to the event sector: binding and overlocking.
Binding is the most elegant finish. It's a fabric strip that elegantly binds the carpet, imparting a refined finish. This trendy finish is highly visible and enhances the visual impact of the carpet.
This type of finish is recommended for corners, showrooms or even to delineate sales areas.
For a binding finish, we recommend choosing the Soft carpet or any other thick carpet. It's also the most suitable finish for a custom-made Sisal or seagrass carpet.
The overlocking finish is much simpler as it's just a seam sewn along the edge of the carpet. This discreet finish fades away to highlight the material of the carpet.
This type of finish will be particularly well-suited for bespoke carpeting designed to dress a podium or a stand. It can also be used for showrooms, corners or sales spaces if you're looking for a more discreet refinement compared to a binding finish.
The overlocking finish requires selecting a beautiful carpet, such as the Salsa carpet. Printed carpets can also be used and allow for the creation of very original carpets that help to create a unique decor.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLING A BESPOKE CARPET
Whether it's a bespoke seagrass carpet or a tufted carpet, this decorative element may move if it's solely placed on the floor, particularly in heavily trafficked areas. We therefore advise securing your carpet to ensure visitor safety and to uphold the decor's upkeep.
Two options are available to you for securing a carpet:
• Double-sided tape for delicate surfaces, which is suitable for all surfaces to be covered, especially if it's marble or parquet.
• Adhesive underlay serves as a non-slip layer, offering effectiveness comparable to gluing but without the limitations associated with glue. The underlay also absorbs footstep noises and offers high resistance for temporary events.
These two solutions allow for quick and easy installation and removal without damaging the carpet.
Installing a bespoke carpet in a decor is a way to transform the space and give it more character. With CTN, you gain access to expert assistance encompassing various services, guiding you through every crucial step. Additionally, we handle material provision, carpet delivery and supply all necessary accessories for installation.
