FINE RUGS IN BIRMINGHAM
Rugs selected without limitation
It begins with what you don’t see.
Our showroom presents a curated collection of Persian rugs, Oriental rugs, modern rugs, and area rugs—but it is only a starting point.
We work with clients who value quality, craftsmanship, and a more considered approach to selecting rugs for their home.
What truly defines our offering is access.
Owners Kamran and Kristi Karimpour are Certified Rug Appraisers (CRA) with more than 35 years of experience working with fine rugs.
Their knowledge of construction, materials, scale, and color allows clients to move beyond surface-level selections—guiding them toward rugs that are not only beautiful, but truly appropriate for the space they live in.
With decades of experience and deep relationships across specialized workshops and sources worldwide, we are able to present a far broader and more refined selection than what is typically available in a traditional rug store.
We guide our clients beyond what is on display—introducing pieces they may never have known existed and helping them discover rugs that are truly right for their space.
Every rug we bring in is considered carefully for its quality, craftsmanship, and ability to elevate a room. We focus on hand-knotted rugs and handwoven pieces that offer lasting beauty, character, and integrity.
Beyond sourcing and selection, we also provide professional rug cleaning, restoration, and insurance appraisals—helping clients preserve and care for fine rugs properly over time.
For qualified clients, we are able to source and present rugs specifically for their home, bringing in pieces to be viewed in the space before any decision is made.
This allows for a level of clarity and confidence that simply cannot be achieved by selecting from a showroom floor alone.
Many come to us searching for a rug. What they discover is a far more thoughtful and expansive way of selecting one.
A foundation for your space—without compromise.

Interior Design
We approach each project as a complete composition—where every element works together as part of a cohesive whole.
From the initial concept through the final details, we guide you through a thoughtful process—refining scale, materials, and finishes so that every decision feels intentional.
Once we understand how you live, we translate that into a clear and considered direction—bringing together furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and architectural details in a way that feels natural, balanced, and distinctly yours.
Our role is not simply to select pieces, but to shape an environment. One where everything belongs, and nothing feels out of place.
Art & Framing
Selecting art is deeply personal.
Our Birmingham studio provides a curated introduction to original artwork, prints, and custom framing, while representing only a small portion of the artwork and resources available through our network of artists, galleries, and collectors.
Once we understand what resonates with you and how you want a room to feel, we help source pieces that bring depth, character, and individuality to the space.
From original paintings to custom framing details, every selection is considered in relation to the home as a whole — creating interiors that feel layered, collected, and distinctly personal.
High-end furniture
At Birmingham Design Studio, furniture is never selected in isolation.
Each piece is considered in the context of how you live — how it feels in the room, how it relates to everything around it, and how it contributes to a space that feels complete.
Our Birmingham showroom offers a refined introduction to our collection, but it represents only a fraction of what we have access to.
Through our network of leading manufacturers, artisans, and custom workrooms, we source and create pieces that go far beyond what any one showroom can display.
Whether furnishing a single room or an entire home, we guide each decision with clarity and intention — creating interiors that feel layered, cohesive, and distinctly yours.
Designer Fabrics
Our Birmingham showroom offers access to a far broader selection of luxury fabrics, trims, wallcoverings, and textiles than what is physically displayed in our studio.
Through longstanding relationships with leading textile houses including Kravet, Pindler, Schumacher, Fabricut, Ralph Lauren, we help clients discover materials rarely represented within conventional retail or more limited design environments.
Every fabric is considered in relation to the architecture of the home, the furnishings around it, and the way our clients want the space to feel.
Accents & Accessories
When it comes to home décor, it’s often the smaller details that bring warmth, character, and individuality to a room.
Our Birmingham showroom offers a curated introduction to decorative accents, sculpture, mirrors, candle holders, objects, and accessories selected to add depth and personality to a thoughtfully designed home.
Through long standing industry relationships, we provide access to a far broader range of decorative resources and artisan collections than what is physically represented within the studio.
Our design team helps clients layer these finishing elements in a way that feels cohesive, collected, and distinctly personal.
Draperies, Blinds & Window Treatments
Well-considered window treatments soften a space, shape the light, and bring balance to a room.
At Birmingham Design Studio, we guide clients through custom draperies, blinds, shades, shutters, and designer textiles selected specifically for the architecture, furnishings, and character of the home.
Rather than limiting clients to a fixed collection, we source from a broad network of leading manufacturers and workrooms, including Hunter Douglas, presenting options tailored to the architecture and character of each project.
From understated panels to fully tailored treatments, every detail is considered in relation to how the space is meant to live and feel.
