A Mixed Wholesale Order With Three Popular Sizes
For a wholesale order, variety matters. A rug shop may need different sizes for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and larger seating areas. This shipment included three of the most frequently requested room sizes:
| Rug size | Metric size | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 6×9 ft | About 183×274 cm | Bedrooms, studies, and smaller seating areas |
| 8×10 ft | About 244×305 cm | Living rooms and dining rooms |
| 9×12 ft | About 274×366 cm | Larger living rooms and formal spaces |
The rugs were selected as a mixed group rather than a single repeated design. This gives the wholesaler more choices to show customers with different room sizes, color preferences, and decorating styles.

Sultan, Dome, Star, and Linear Designs
Color can completely change the feeling of a traditional pattern. This shipment included both deep blue and rich red rugs, along with softer gold, ivory, and turquoise details.
Blue and Red Sultan Designs
The Blue Sultan and Red Sultan designs were two of the most striking rugs in this shipment. They share the same distinctive central structure, but their different background colors create very different moods. The deep blue version feels calm and elegant, while the red version looks warmer and more dramatic.

Sixteen-Pointed Star and Linear Patterns
The shipment also included a blue sixteen-pointed star design and a detailed linear pattern. The star motif creates a strong visual center, while the flowing linear pattern brings movement and rhythm to the rug. Both designs can become a striking focal point in a living room, villa, or other formal interior.

Every Rug Was Opened and Checked Before Packing
For this order, our team laid out the rugs before packing. This allowed us to look at the overall pattern, color, pile direction, edges, and fringe.
Silk rugs can look lighter from one direction and deeper from the other because the pile reflects light differently. Opening the rug also makes it easier to see the complete design before it is folded or rolled.
Checking a Blue Sultan rug.
This step is especially helpful for a large mixed order. When many colors, designs, and sizes are packed together, careful checking and organization reduce mistakes later.
Folding, Rolling, and Organizing the Shipment
After inspection, the rugs were folded or rolled according to their size and packing needs. Team members worked together to keep the rugs aligned and protect the fringes during handling.

The final packing method depends on the rug size, shipment plan, and destination requirements. For each wholesale order, delivery arrangements and customs details are confirmed separately with the customer.
Why Mixed Designs Work Well for Rug Wholesalers
A mixed order gives a wholesale buyer more flexibility than buying only one color or pattern. It can serve customers who prefer:
- deep blue or rich red rooms;
- Blue Sultan, Red Sultan, and dome designs;
- sixteen-pointed star and linear patterns;
- medium and large room sizes;
- traditional designs with different color moods.
It also lets a rug store test several design directions without relying on one look alone. The buyer can display a varied collection while keeping the construction and product category consistent.
