Floors that suit East Marredpally's two kinds of homes
Few Secunderabad localities mix old and new the way East Marredpally does. The area grew out of the British-era "Married Officers' Colony" laid out by the Secunderabad Cantonment, and that heritage still shows in its quiet, tree-lined lanes, its Anglo-Indian families, and landmarks like the historic Church of St. John the Baptist and St. Ann's High School in Nehru Nagar Colony. Many residents are long-settled families from the railways, defence services and government administration — people who value things made to last. The carpets and rugs we supply are chosen in exactly that spirit.
In the older independent houses and bungalows, with their mosaic and Cuddapah-stone floors, polished oxide and broad teak doorways, a fine hand-knotted rug does more than decorate. It softens the echo of large rooms, defines a sitting area under a high ceiling, and warms the cooler stone underfoot through Hyderabad's brief winter. We see a lot of these homes ask for a single statement piece — a Persian or Iranian carpet in the drawing room, or a Kashmiri silk runner for a long central hallway.
Wall-to-wall for the new apartments near Tukaram Gate
The premium flats coming up across East Marredpally — the gated projects off the Tukaram Gate main road and towards Sanjeevaiah Nagar — are a different brief. Here homeowners often want wall-to-wall carpeting for bedrooms, home offices and the prayer or media room, both for warmth and for the hush it brings to tighter, modern layouts. We carry wool and synthetic-blend wall-to-wall ranges in plain and textured finishes, measured and fitted edge to edge so there are no gaps at the skirting. For families converting a spare room into a study or nursery, this is one of the quickest ways to transform how a space feels.
What we bring to your home
- Hand-knotted rugs: Persian and Iranian, Kashmiri wool and silk, and tribal weaves — pieces that genuinely appreciate and suit the proportions of older Marredpally rooms.
- Prayer rugs: a careful selection for households across the locality's mixed community.
- Wall-to-wall ranges: wool and blended carpeting for bedrooms, staircases and apartments, with proper underlay and finished edges.
- Custom hand-knotted rugs: made to your room size, colour scheme and motif — ideal when a standard size won't fit an unusually long bungalow hall.
- Free measure and fitting: our team visits, measures accurately and fits, so you are not guessing at dimensions over the phone.
Easy to reach from East Marredpally
Our showroom is at A Battery Line, Masab Tank Road, Vijaynagar Colony, in central Hyderabad — an easy run across the city from Secunderabad. East Marredpally sits close to Secunderabad Railway Station and is well linked by road, so a trip to browse the full collection is straightforward. That said, most customers here prefer that we come to them: it is far better to see a Persian rug laid out on your own floor, in your own light, against your own walls, than under showroom lighting. Book a home visit and we will carry a curated selection to you.
Care, cleaning and old family carpets
Many East Marredpally households have carpets passed down through a generation or two — heirloom pieces that have spent decades on these floors. We advise on cleaning, restoration and re-fringing of hand-knotted rugs, and we can re-bind or resize an existing carpet that no longer fits a redone room. With Hyderabad's dust and the occasional monsoon damp, the right cleaning routine keeps wool and silk looking right for years.
Ellora Carpets delivers across Hyderabad, pan-India and worldwide, so a piece chosen for a Marredpally home can just as easily be shipped to family abroad. Whatever your home — heritage bungalow or new apartment — talk to us about getting the floor right.
