Before you check out
Three sizes that fit real rooms. Small (2x3 ft) for entryways and bedsides. Medium (4x6 ft) for under a coffee table or at the foot of a bed. Large (5x8 ft) to anchor a living room. Pick by where the rug needs to live, not by which photo you saw.
Soft, dense, slightly plush. Not scratchy, not thin, not the flat printed feel you might expect. Backed with non slip rubber so it stays put on hardwood, tile, or low pile carpet.
Yes. Vacuum it normally. Spot clean spills with cold water and a little dish soap. The print is fade resistant and the fibers hold up to cats, dogs, and clumsy humans. This is not a museum piece, it's a rug.
Most orders arrive in 5 to 7 days from the day you order. Two days to make, three to five to ship. You'll get tracking the moment it leaves the facility, so you can watch it come to you.
You have 30 days to live with it. If it doesn't feel like yours, send it back for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions designed to make you feel guilty for changing your mind.

Who makes your rug

Not a warehouse.
A room with skulls in it.

I started Vex Crafts because I was tired of decorating my apartment from brands that thought goth meant Halloween. Every rug you see here was designed at this desk, under that ring light, surrounded by the bands and books and bones that shaped my taste.

I don't have a marketing team. I have a horned balaclava and strong opinions about what your floor should look like. If something feels off when your rug arrives, you can email me directly. The same person who designed it will answer.

  • My bedroom finally matches my soul lol

    Ok so I was super nervous about ordering bc the price felt steep for a rug but honestly it's worth every penny. The detail is INSANE. I keep finding new little creatures hidden in the design every time I look at it. The eclipse in the center actually glows when my fairy lights are on it's so cool. Texture is super soft too, not scratchy at all like cheap rugs. My boyfriend hates it but he's wrong 😅

  • Beautiful and surprisingly subtle

    Honestly didn't think a rug like this would work with my grey couch and light wood floors but it actually balances out the space really nicely. It's bold without being TOO much. The texture is what got me. The design is woven into the rug not just printed on so the texture changes depending on the part you're looking at. Shipping was a bit slow (took like 11 days) but worth the wait. Hides crumbs and pet hair too which is a bonus.

  • Bigger than I expected (in a good way)

    When I unrolled this thing in my hallway my roommate just stared at it for like 30 seconds 😂 The size is perfect and it's WAY thicker than the cheap stuff you find on Amazon. You can tell someone actually cared making this. I held it up for my boyfriend on facetime and he was like "yeah that's so you". Took it home and it's been my favorite thing in the apartment ever since. The black is actually black not that weird washed out grey other rugs have

  • Very nice details

    I'm an artist and I'm picky about prints and stuff and this honestly blew me away. Every single creature is rendered like properly, not blurry or pixelated. The red lava bits at the bottom look almost glowy in person. Sits flat on my floor right away no curling at the corners which has been my issue with other rugs. Definitely ordering another one for my studio

  • Best entryway upgrade ever

    Put this right at my front door and now every person who comes over comments on it. I've literally given this brand's instagram to like 4 people already. The cat looks even cooler in person than the website photos. Wipes clean really easy too which I was worried about because of the white parts. Quality is solid for the price imo

  • My cat approved

    Bought this and within 5 minutes of laying it down my cat was on it lol he hasn't left since. It's plush enough that he treats it like his own bed now. Color is really accurate to the photos online which I appreciate because you never know with online shopping. Customer service was super responsive too when I asked about the size. 10/10 would recommend

  • My gaming setup is unmatched now

    Genuinely makes my whole desk setup look 10x better. The purple LEDs I have actually reflect off the red in the rug and it looks insane on stream. Got so many DMs after my last gaming video asking where I got it. Quality wise it's holding up perfect under my chair wheels too which I was worried about. Worth every dollar.

    My story

    I spent ten years buying things I didn't love because nothing in the home decor aisle was for me. Beige rugs. White lamps. The same dried pampas grass every Pinterest girl has. I'd walk into my own apartment and feel like a guest.

    The clothes I owned looked like me. The music I played sounded like me. But my floor looked like a rental nobody had moved into yet.

    I started Vex Crafts because I got tired of waiting for someone else to make it. I wanted a rug that didn't apologize for being dark. Something an adult could live with. Something that wasn't trying to be a Halloween prop or a costume or a punchline.

    So I started designing them. One at a time. From a room with skulls in it.

    I have two cats and a habit of eating on the floor and after a month it still looks brand new. I was scared it would look cheap in person. It doesn't. Everyone on my zoom calls asks where it's from and I get to be the smug one now.

    First piece in my apartment that actually feels like mine. My boyfriend said the room finally makes sense. I've been buying things I didn't love for ten years because I thought goth furniture didn't exist for adults. Apparently it does. Apparently it's just hard to find.
