Hughes Rugs
Hughes Rugs specialise in supplying high-quality oriental and tribal floor coverings from the traditional carpet-weaving countries, including Persian, Turkey, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and China. All of our rugs, runners and carpets are hand-woven, and they're mainly produced by families in nomadic, tribal or village communities.

Importing direct and keeping our overheads low means we can sell high- quality products at low prices. We're often up to 50% cheaper than high street stores. Our fantastic home selection service means that we bring our range to you. Seeing the products in your own homes is so much easier - there's no more manhandling heavy rugs yourself, and it takes all the guesswork out of matching to your room.

Our range of rugs, runners and carpets is perfect for period or traditional home, but can also work beautifully with more modern themes. Hughes Rugs offer a specialist repair and cleaning service to restore your rug or carpet to its former glory. Our cleaning processes achieve a more thorough clean than could be achieved by home cleaning services.
Services
Hughes Rugs specialise in providing premier quality oriental and tribal rugs, as well as carpets, to the UK market. Based in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, we are very much a traditional family business. Stephen Hughes and wife Marie have run the company for over 25 years, following in the footsteps of Stephen's father and grandfather.
With such a large range of styles, designs and colours, our collections have something to suit nearly every home. And don't forget that with our home selection service, you can see the rugs actually in your room, taking all the guesswork out of choosing. We think that our oriental and tribal rugs are more than just floor coverings.
Kilims are pileless floor coverings produced by flat-weaving. Although kilims have been produced for centuries, until relatively recently they were produced almost exclusively for domestic use. Unlike pile carpets, which were widely exported, the designs have therefore been insulated from Western influence.
Our fine Persian carpets are made on intricate looms and come from the ancient Persian cities of Tabriz, Isfahan, Nain and Kashan. They are manufactured with a higher knot density than other carpets, using finer wool and sometimes silk. Patterns consist mainly of beautifully designed medallions and floral all-over patterns, and sometimes the proud makers will weave their name into the design.
Our Kashgai and Shiraz carpets are sourced from the city of Shiraz, located in the Fars Provence in what was once the Persian empire. They are crafted by the Kashgai nomads who live in the region. The Kashgai is the largest nomadic tribe in the area and maintain their traditional migrations, complete with families, flocks, tents and other belongings.

We are delighted! A superb service from an experienced, knowledgeable and skilful company. Thirty plus years of dirt, wear and tear were erased through their cleaning process and repair of fringes. Our rugs were returned to display their original bright and vibrant colours. All at Hughes Rugs executed a superb job, and we will use them again (well before another 30 years has passed!). Thank you to all the team in Royal Wootton Bassett.

Mr Hughes deep cleaned our 30 year old Chinese rug and another wool and silk rug - the results are spectacular. Both rugs look brand new again. Great work and great service. Thank you

Stephen and his team did a fantastic job on our family heirloom carpet - it was quite neglected, with some minor damage and probably hadn't had a professional clean in decades, but it looks amazing now - you can't even spot where the repairs have been made! We are absolutely thrilled with the result; brilliant service, would highly recommend.

We have recently bought a beautiful rug from Stephen Hughes and are delighted. We had an image of style and colours that we thought might best suit the space and thrilled that Stephen had exactly what we were looking for.
Stephen was very helpful and gracious. He also had one of our neglected Persian rug restored and cleaned which has now been given a new lease of life.
Thank you Stephen , we wish you well.

Hughes Rugs is an excellent company to clean and restore your fine rugs. We have had two of ours cleaned and repaired/ re-weaved from pet damage, one extensively, all with beautiful results. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use their services in the future. They also pick up and drop off. Pricing is very reasonable.

I have been buying wonderful rugs from Stephen for over 15 years. He and his wife Marie are the epitome of a proper family business. Nothing is too much trouble whether it’s allowing you to try out a rug, moving furniture around or even dismantling chairs.
I can vouch for the fact that the rugs are super high quality as they are still as thick and lush as they were when I first bought them. Plus Stephen has been brilliant about really listening to what we like and want and has never failed to find the exact colour, size and pattern that complimented the relevant room perfectly.

Great service and experience. Very knowledgeable. They let us take a few rugs home to try out in the room which was extremely helpful to determine the size. Most importantly I love my rug!
