About Us

Combining artisan heritage with a contemporary approach, Roger Oates Design creates luxury 100% wool stair runners and rugs defined by good design, UK production and responsible material choices.

Traditionally woven flatweave flooring, innovative hand-tufted rugs and finely crafted home accessories are available in a range of timeless designs and curated colours.

The company's approach to making involves skilled craftspeople at every stage, tethering our designs to the people and processes involved in their production. Proudly celebrating British Wool, Roger Oates Design's New Classics rugs and runners are traceable all the way back to the farm where the sheep are raised.

Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer

"We recently completed a project which resized one of our hand-tufted rug designs to fit a room with a larger footprint. Hand-tufted rugs can be made up to 4m x 6m. Projects range from individual ready-to-buy hallway runners and area rugs to stair runners spanning multiple floors, landings, and wall-to-wall areas.

Bespoke options include resizing and recolouring hand-tufted rugs as well as customising the colour or width of our flatweave stair runners and rugs. With each piece being finished by hand in our workshops we can preside over every detail. We are thrilled to offer a collaborative platform where clients feel they can serve the exact needs of their project.

We have recently collaborated with weaver Heather Shields to create Larkfield, a fine 100% wool cloth, woven in Scotland. The warm monochrome cloth features a graphic pattern of chevrons, lines and dots and has been used to create a range of home accessories including blankets, cushions and benches."
