Bespoke Checkerboard Rug
Looking for a checkerboard rug that combines softness, texture and timeless style? Our made to measure checkerboard rug is handwoven from hand-spun wool, giving it subtle tonal variations and a refined finish. Unlike mass-produced rugs, each piece is unique, with a balanced yet characterful look that works in both modern and traditional spaces.
Handwoven Quality
Everymade to measure checkerboard rug from Emily’s House is created by skilled artisans. Using high-quality wool and natural dyes, the check pattern is brought to life with gentle shifts in tone thanks to the hand-spun yarn. The short pile feels soft underfoot yet remains durable enough for everyday use, making it suitable for living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms.
Custom Size and Colour
Your rug is made to order in your chosen size and colour combination. Some popular options include:
- Cream and maroon brown for a warm, earthy feel
- Navy and white for bold contrast
- Sky blue and grey for a softer palette
- Three-colour designs for a striking statement
We use ARS colour references to achieve accurate shades, though the natural variation of hand-spun wool ensures depth and texture rather than a flat, uniform look.

Handmade Character
Each made to measure checkerboard rug is crafted by hand, meaning small irregularities may appear in the pattern. These are not flaws but part of the weaving process, giving your rug individuality and a sense of authenticity. The overall design remains balanced and symmetrical while retaining the charm of handmade craft.
Choosing the Right Size
Not sure which size will suit your space? Our Emily’s House team can guide you. Some clients choose based on Feng Shui or detailed room planning, while others prefer straightforward size recommendations based on layout and furniture. Whatever your preference, we’ll help ensure your made to measure checkerboard rug fits your home perfectly.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your rug looking its best:
- Vacuum every couple of weeks using a low setting
- Shake it outdoors occasionally to remove deep dust
- Vacuum against the pile now and then to lift fibres
- Don’t forget to vacuum the underside, where dust collects too
Handling Spills
If a spill occurs:
- Blot immediately with cold water
- Absorb excess moisture with kitchen roll, working inwards from the edge
- Avoid rubbing, which can fray the wool
- Dry thoroughly to prevent damp patches
For tougher stains, avoid chemical cleaners or bleach. Instead, consult a professional rug cleaner or contact us for advice.
