Custom Bespoke Axminster Carpet Melbourne — Vangaard Carpet Design
When a standard carpet simply will not do, our sub-brand Vangaard Carpet Design creates fully custom woven Axminster carpets that transform commercial spaces into works of art. From five-star hotel lobbies and heritage restoration projects to corporate headquarters and function centres, bespoke Axminster delivers a level of craftsmanship and individuality that no off-the-shelf product can match.
Our in-house interior designers work closely with you to develop original patterns, integrate brand elements and logos, select from limitless colour palettes, and manufacture a carpet that is uniquely yours.
What Is Axminster Carpet?
Axminster is a woven carpet construction method originating from the town of Axminster in Devon, England. Unlike tufted carpets where yarns are punched into a pre-made backing, Axminster carpets are woven on specialised looms that integrate the pile yarn directly into the carpet structure. This produces an exceptionally durable, dimensionally stable carpet with superior pattern definition and colour clarity.
Axminster weaving allows for intricate multi-colour designs — up to 12 colours in a single carpet — making it the preferred construction for ornate, detailed patterns that would be impossible to achieve with tufted methods.

The Vangaard Custom Design Process
Design Consultation
Our interior designers visit your premises to understand the space, its purpose, existing design elements, and your vision. We discuss colour palettes, pattern styles, logo integration, and any heritage or brand requirements.
Concept Development
We create detailed digital design concepts showing how the carpet will look in your space, including colour variations and pattern options. You review and refine until the design is perfect.
Sample Production
A physical sample strike-off is produced so you can see and feel the actual carpet before committing to full production. Colours and textures are assessed in situ under your actual lighting conditions.
Manufacturing
Your custom Axminster is woven to your exact specifications. Production timelines vary depending on complexity and quantity, typically 8 to 16 weeks from design approval.
Professional Installation
Our specialist installers handle the precise fitting of your bespoke carpet, including any pattern matching, border work, and finishing details that ensure a flawless result.
