Nilipour Oriental Rugs - Birmingham, AL - Homewood, Alabama

Sarah Dunn

Nilipour did a wonderful job of cleaning and mending my most "well-loved" rug, which I have now retired from the floor so that it can be displayed on the wall behind my bed!

I returned a couple of months later and took advantage of a sale to procure two beautiful pieces that I love!

Soraya Nilipour is especially good at suggesting pieces based on the size of the area and can go off of photographs of your existing items to find a wonderful match for your decor and budget. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the whole family during my most recent visit, and could not have had a better experience anywhere else!

This is a great family business selling carpets and rugs for over 50 years. They sell beautiful hand-knotted oriental rugs. Although I am usually tight with my money, the rugs they sold me seemed to be great values compared to prices on the internet or other stores in our area. They sell many Indian rugs, which for the same or better quality are less expensive than those from Iran and some other countries. I was impressed with how well the owners communicated and explained compared to other stores in our area. They had rugs to fit my rooms precisely.

Just picked up a rug that I had dropped off for repair and cleaning. Granted, not a heirloom, but did have sentimental value to me. I got it home and unbundled it and was so disappointed in the repair. For $250 I expected the repair to be more than just tacking on the torn piece-I expected it to be bound smoothly and evenly. I understood the color might not match, but seriously did not expect this poor of a job. I also had the fringe trimmed…will be completing that job also. $750 for repair and cleaning and just very disappointed.

My wife & I had a 9 x 11 Tabriz that just wasn't working with our living room remodel project. We took it to Soraya, who gave us a great trade price towards a rug in her gallery.

She was quite knowledgeable. Together with an assistant, they worked tirelessly to help us find exactly what we were looking for. We are very happy with our purchase.

Our future rug purchases will begin (and likely end) at Nilipour.

I recently moved and wanted a new look. I found a beautiful Oushak that looks great in my new home and Soraya worked with me on a trade in of a rug I had that I was no longer going to use. Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff!

Leaving this review for my dad, Dan. He got a quote to just fix the trim on the rug, and without telling him they charged $250 to clean the rug, because the owner said "I do not work on dirty rugs". Do not charge $250 for a service that was not requested because of your personal preference. Do not use unless you want extra fees you did not ask for.

A family business that is run with passion and care. Soraya is wonderful- so knowledgeable and helpful! I’ll drive to Birmingham when I want to invest in a new rug.

Wonderful shopping experience, high quality rugs in a wide range of price ranges. We were able to purchase a rug that was far superior to department store rugs, and was exactly what we wanted. They were very understanding of our budget needs, and the whole experience was very relaxed.

We expect to purchase a rug for another room in the future, and Nilipour is the only place we're going to shop for it!
