Hand Tufted Carpet: The Perfect Blend of Style, Comfort & Craftsmanship | Mat Living


When it comes to creating a stylish yet comfortable interior, carpets play a defining role. Among the many types available today, hand tufted carpets stand out for their artistic appeal, plush texture, and affordability compared to fully hand-knotted rugs. At Mat Living, our hand tufted carpets are thoughtfully designed to offer luxury, durability, and modern elegance—perfect for contemporary homes.

In this blog, we’ll explore what hand tufted carpets are, how they are made, their benefits, best uses, and why they are a popular choice for modern interiors.

What Is a Hand Tufted Carpet?

A hand tufted carpet is crafted by skilled artisans using a tufting gun to insert yarn into a pre-drawn design on a canvas backing. Once the design is completed, a layer of latex is applied to secure the yarns, and an additional fabric backing is added for strength and durability.

Unlike hand-knotted carpets, which take months to produce, hand tufted carpets are faster to make—allowing for intricate designs at a more accessible price point.

Why Choose Hand Tufted Carpets?

1. Modern & Versatile Designs

Hand tufted carpets allow for greater design flexibility. From bold abstracts to elegant florals and minimal geometrics, the possibilities are endless.

2. Soft & Plush Underfoot

These carpets are known for their thick pile and cushioned feel, making them ideal for spaces where comfort is a priority.

3. Excellent Value for Money

Hand tufted carpets offer the look and feel of luxury without the high cost of hand-knotted rugs.

4. Faster Production

Because the process is quicker, you get beautifully crafted carpets without long waiting periods.

5. Customization Options

At Mat Living, hand tufted carpets can be customized in terms of size, color, and pattern to suit your space perfectly.

How Are Hand Tufted Carpets Made?

  1. Design Mapping – The pattern is drawn on a stretched canvas

  2. Tufting Process – Yarn is punched into the canvas using a tufting gun

  3. Latex Application – Latex glue is applied to hold the tufts in place

  4. Backing Added – A secondary fabric backing is attached

  5. Shearing & Finishing – The surface is trimmed and refined for a clean finish

This process combines artisan skill with modern techniques to deliver high-quality carpets efficiently.

What is the origin of modern carpeting?

Carpet weaving was introduced with the beginning of the rule of the first Muslim conquerors in the 11th century, the Ghaznavi's and the Ghauri's, from the West. The Mughal Dynasty began in the early 16th century, when Timur's final descendant, Babar, expanded his dominion from Kabul to India, establishing the Mughal Empire. The weaving tradition of carpet in India was introduced by Akbar, in 1520 AD, when he brought some carpet weavers from Persia, at his palace in Agra. With the help of them, he laid the foundation of carpet weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore to promote the production of Persian style carpets, which were inspired by the designs of Kashan, Kirman, Herat, and Isfahan. Between 1520-30's Akbar trained the carpet weavers from Persia he brought with him. He brought the best carpet weavers from the most well-known carpet workshops of Persia, to train the prisoners, the art of weaving carpets. These prisoners took a lot of pride in their work and...
