Rug Selection
How do I choose the right rug for my space?
Consider your room size, furniture layout, colour palette and level of foot traffic. Our team can help you select the right size, material, style and colour for your home or commercial space.
Can Melody Carpet help me select a rug?
Yes. Our team can recommend suitable rugs based on your room measurements, interior style, preferred colours and budget.
Can I send photos of my room for advice?
Yes. Send us clear photos, room measurements and details about your furniture through WhatsApp, and our team will suggest suitable options.
How do I choose the correct rug size?
The ideal size depends on the room and furniture arrangement. In a living room, the rug should usually sit under at least the front legs of the main furniture. In a dining room, it should extend beyond the chairs when they are pulled out.
Can I view a rug before purchasing?
Yes. You are welcome to visit our showroom. You may also request additional photos, close-up images and videos through WhatsApp.
Products & Authenticity
What is the difference between handmade and machine-made rugs?
Handmade rugs are individually woven by skilled artisans and often feature natural materials and unique variations. Machine-made rugs are produced using modern machinery and offer consistent patterns, broad design choices and accessible pricing.
Are your handmade rugs authentic?
We carefully source and inspect our handmade rug collection. Available information about origin, material, construction and design is provided in the product description or by our sales team.
Do handmade rugs come with a certificate?
Certificates or product documentation may be available for selected handmade rugs. Please confirm with our team before purchasing if certification is important to you.
Are handmade rugs completely identical in shape and colour?
No. Small differences in weaving, dimensions, colours and patterns are natural characteristics of handmade rugs and make each piece unique.
Will the rug colour look exactly the same as it does online?
We aim to represent colours accurately, but lighting, photography and screen settings may create slight differences. The direction of the rug pile can also affect how colours appear.

Rug Care & Maintenance
How should I clean my rug?
Vacuum gently using suitable settings. Avoid aggressive rotating brushes on delicate rugs. For deep cleaning, use a professional company experienced with the rug’s material and construction.
What should I do if something spills on the rug?
Act quickly and blot the area gently with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub, soak the rug or apply harsh chemicals. Contact a professional cleaner for delicate or valuable rugs.
Can I wash a handmade rug at home?
Home washing is not recommended. Incorrect washing can cause colour bleeding, shrinkage, distortion or fibre damage.
Should I rotate my rug?
Yes. Periodic rotation helps distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure more evenly.
Do I need a rug pad?
A suitable rug pad can reduce movement, improve comfort, protect the flooring and help extend the life of the rug.
How should I store a rug?
The rug should be professionally cleaned and completely dry before storage. Roll it carefully, use breathable protective material and keep it in a clean, dry environment.

What should I do if my rug arrives damaged?
Please report the issue immediately and provide your order details together with clear photos of the rug, packaging and affected area.
Do your rugs come with a warranty?
Warranty coverage may vary depending on the product and manufacturer. Please review the product details or contact our team before purchasing.
