The Rug Addict aims to cater to all audiences by offering classic motifs and designs made in today’s modern style with easy upkeep, but without compromising on the luxurious feel of hand-crafted rugs

Founded in 2020, The Rug Addict is known for offering a wide range of beautifully made and expertly curated machine-woven rugs. With each design and collection, The Rug Addict aims to provide a striking rug, perfect for any home and interior.

The Rug Addict was founded by partners Navishta Zaman and Rizvi Rahman, both graduates from prestigious universities in the US and Canada, respectively. Their search for rugs started with them trying to create a home with a perfect blend of modernity and timelessness. However, their search was in vain, as the prevailing market offered limited options of subpar quality.

They quickly realised that there is an opportunity for growth and began their research in early 2019. After a year of spirited back-and-forths with suppliers and manufacturers in China and Turkey, they managed to secure and import the coveted products.

Currently, The Rug Addict exhibits more than 100 active items under its four distinctive collections: The Classic (modern), The Regal (traditional), The Ottoman (Turkish), and The Moon (circular). Each collection is machine-made with perfection — the stitched backing and soft polypropylene pile offer stain, slip and fade resistance, which make the rugs serviceable for all interiors and durable for all floors.

The Rug Addict aims to cater to everyone by offering classic motifs and designs made in today's modern style for easy upkeep, but without compromising on the luxurious feel of hand-crafted rugs.
