Discover more about the team & values behind the brand
By offering a well-considered collection, we want to inspire our customers to make confident choices and help shape the future of interior style.
At Relay, we believe great style should be accessible — not exclusive. That’s why we aim to offer beautifully made rugs for real homes, combining thoughtful design, quality materials, and down-to-earth pricing.
Rooted in UK production, our approach is simple: make rugs that look good, feel good, and last. We choose materials with care, focusing on durability and comfort, because the performance of our products matters just as much as how they look in your home.
From hallway runners to statement pieces, every rug in our collection is designed to bring warmth, texture, and personality into everyday spaces.
Whether you’re dressing up a new room or refreshing a well-loved one, Relay is here to help you lay the groundwork for a home that feels like yours — stylish, lived-in, and well made.
Keeping production in the UK means lower carbon emissions and more skilled jobs for local people.

Richard and Susan have worked together here at Melrose for over 30 years, “when Susan started her sister Jane told me to ‘look after our Susan’ and that’s exactly what I did” Richard says. “I’ve worked here for over 35 years, I come here for the people. We’ve done it all, from paper picking orders to how we work now. We’ve moved with the times and grown with the company from Allerton to now here at Park View”.“It’s all about teamwork here” Susan says. “We all get on well, if there is a problem, we always address it. You’ve just got to get on with it. If it wasn’t for Richard, and the team, I wouldn’t be where I am today, I have a lot to thank them for.”
