Hear from a customer: What did you buy?
“I purchased two rugs from Ruby Slipper. The first was a pink and cream cotton rug for my daughter’s bedroom – it added a pop of colour to the room. The second was a classic cream and black rug for the guest room, which complemented and completed the room beautifully. I absolutely love the handmade cotton rugs as they are well-made and versatile. The team was patient and understanding, helping me with my choices. The option to customise rugs to size and colour is appealing and I intend purchase more in the future.” – Lynndi Peters-Hardy, South African/British

Hear from a customer: What did you buy?
“I’ve been a long-time customer at Originals; in fact, it’s where I’ve been exhibiting my paintings for the past eight years! I bought a carpet from Originals about four years ago for my house in France – it’s yellow and grey and made of wool. I initially bought it for my boys’ bedroom there, but loved it so much that I brought it back to my house in Singapore. The Originals team helped me find exactly what I was looking for, and the entire buying process was a breeze. I appreciate how the store constantly brings in new products that have great detail.” – Anne Severyns, French

Hear from a customer: What did you buy?
“We’re in love with our Laser Etched Hide Rug! The store’s rugs are high quality, unique and contemporary, while also reasonably priced, which was exactly what we were after. Visha Nelson’s personalised level of service was above and beyond! My husband and I were able to take a few rugs home to try in the space, and Visha even stopped by to offer expert advice on rug placement and interior design. We couldn’t be happier with the way the neutral tones and textures of the hide rug work with our décor, while also acting as a showpiece!” – Kimberly White Teeter, American

Hear from the store: What’s trending?
“There is more demand for flat-woven or dhurrie carpets as they have no pile and don’t catch dust, so they’re more suitable for people with allergies. There’s also a demand for carpets in bamboo silk or Tencel. It has a wonderfully lush look and feel, and, if it’s woven with wool, the base is more durable than a regular silk carpet.”
Hear from a customer: What did you buy?
“I bought a viscose and wool mix geometric design rug from WTP. I liked that it was monotone, but not boring. It also has a lovely silky texture under my feet. I like the luxurious look of it and, as we walk around barefoot at home, it feels really good to walk on.” – Evelyn Ang, Singaporean
