What was old is New Again

Designer Rugs is thrilled to unveil New Again by Petrina Turner Design.


A collection of four hand tufted rugs referencing family memories and crafts handed down through generations. The New Again collection blends historical reference with contemporary style, and bold colour palettes and textures. Everything old is… New Again.

Petrina Turner’s collaboration with Designer Rugs is a full circle moment, perfectly fitting for someone who holds tightly to the places and people that have influenced her life. Petrina began her design career over 20 years ago in the design and production team at Designer Rugs, going on to become their Senior Designer. When she moved on to grow her interiors business she left with an invaluable wealth of experience and the support of her Designer Rugs family. Her passion for rugs did not end there though. Petrina has been creating bespoke rugs ever since that form the centrepiece for many her projects.

“I believe you should celebrate everything… cherish those around you… be grateful. The joy in life is in the experiences we share and the stories we tell.” Petrina Turner, Petrina Turner Design

All designs can be custom coloured and sized to become a part of your own personal story.
