What type of material or origin are you looking for? Like Afghan, Middle East or India quality. For India, you may take a walk thru' Serangoon road where lots of Indian shops selling carpets. Middle East, maybe you could try Jalan Sultan Plaza. Cheers :D

Try Sea Sun at IMM 3rd Floor- just directly opposite to the playground. They sell a variety of carpets. Alternatively, you can buy them from IKEA.

The carpet auction held regularly at Hyatt in their function rooms is really a great place to get your way around the world of carpets. Peter Hedges who have a shop at Holland Village conduct auctions and the man himself not only offers a very good selection but is very good fun himself. You can hear many a snigger with the many funny comments he makes in the course of the auction. And of course there is the free coffe and pre paid parking as well. Much recommended :D

You can call the shop at Holland Village and tell them to send you a notice each time they have an auction, which is like most weekends of each week. Alternatively, try your luck and turn up at Hyatt at around 2.30pm on a Saturday and chances are that there will be an auction on. Sorry I can't give you the phone number of hand, Please look into the phone directory :laugh:
