Carpets and rugs made for Abids homes and offices
Abids is not a township of glass towers. It is a layer-cake of older Hyderabad: Nizam-era stone buildings, mid-century apartment blocks above shopfronts, family flats tucked behind Bank Street and Gun Foundry, and commercial chambers that have served the same trades for decades. Floors here tell that story — original Shahabad stone and mosaic in the older buildings, terrazzo and red-oxide in the mid-century flats, and tiled or marble floors in renovated apartments. Each surface asks for something slightly different, and after sixty years of fitting in central Hyderabad we know how to read them.
Rugs for character-rich, high-ceilinged rooms
The proportions of an old Abids home — generous living rooms, tall ceilings, big windows facing a busy street — suit a proper hand-knotted rug beautifully. A Persian / Iranian rug or a finely worked Kashmiri silk rug grounds a large drawing room without fighting the existing woodwork and stone, and the deep wool pile helps soften the constant hum of traffic around Abids Circle and Nampally. For families who keep a dedicated prayer space, our prayer rugs come in sizes that suit both compact flats and larger joint-family homes. Loose rugs are also the most practical choice for tenants and for heritage buildings where you would rather not disturb an original floor.
Wall-to-wall carpet for offices, chambers and quieter bedrooms
Much of Abids is working space — advocates' chambers near the courts, accountants and trading offices around Bank Street, clinics, and small businesses above the retail frontage. For these, wall-to-wall carpet is the workhorse: it cuts echo in high-ceilinged rooms, warms a cold stone floor, and presents a clean, professional finish for a reception or conference room. Our ranges run from hard-wearing loop-pile broadloom for busy offices to softer wool-blend carpets for bedrooms and home studies, in both wool and silk-blend qualities and a wide spread of plains and patterns.
Free measure and fitting, close to central Hyderabad
Because our Masab Tank showroom is genuinely central, Abids is one of the easiest areas for us to reach. We offer a free home or office measure: a member of our team visits, measures accurately around the bays, alcoves and irregular corners that older buildings always have, and advises on which carpet or rug will wear well for your floor and footfall. Our own fitters then handle installation — proper gripper-and-underlay wall-to-wall fitting, careful binding and edging on loose carpets, and tidy work in stairwells and corridors. Parking and access can be tight in the lanes off the main road, so we plan deliveries to suit your building rather than leaving you to manage rolls of carpet yourself.
Custom and hand-knotted rugs
If you cannot find the exact size, colour or design on the showroom floor, we make custom hand-knotted rugs in pure wool and silk. That matters in Abids, where room sizes were rarely built to standard dimensions and a made-to-measure rug often fits far better than anything off the shelf. Bring a floor plan, a fabric swatch or a photograph of the room and we will talk through wool and silk options, knot density, borders and palette.
Delivery beyond the showroom
Many Abids families have relatives and businesses spread across India and abroad. Alongside our local fitting service, Ellora Carpets ships rugs pan-India and worldwide, so a piece chosen here can be sent on to family elsewhere. Whether you are furnishing a heritage flat, a chamber off Bank Street or a renovated apartment near Basheerbagh, visit us at Masab Tank or ask us to come to you in Abids for an honest, unhurried recommendation.
