Experience the power of personalisation under your feet. Your perfect rug isn't found, it's designed. Crafted by Belgotex, YUDU lets you customise every detail for a rug that feels uniquely yours. Why compromise? Select textures, shapes, and sizes that speak to your individual style and needs.

The Mini Mats form part of the exciting YUDU x Arrange Studio Collaboration, which features both Curvy Rugs and Mini Mats. In a beautiful example of sustainable design, the Mini Mats are crafted from leftover carpet off-cuts after making Curvy Rugs, reducing waste while creating something unique and useful. Like the Curvy Rugs, any colour combination of carpet and overlocking edging can be chosen to make your Mini Mat uniquely yours. And watch this space – new colours and textures for both Curvy Rugs and Mini Mats will be launching soon!
