Madcap Cottage was founded with the whimsical eye in mind. John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon- better known as the Madcaps- quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the interior design world. Known for their exuberance, this couple flaunts their timeless yet gutsy home decor and embraces the community that surrounds them.
They pride themselves on focusing on the personality of each of their customers, while still keeping on trend design in mind. Their goal is to truly make the personal story line and magic within a consumer’s own home stand out, which allows both a livable and welcoming space to be created. Madcap Cottage works to keep the home looking terrific around the clock with their ageless and affordable decor that will withstand each individual journey of life.
Madcap Cottage rugs are crafted using several different materials, depending on which type suits your lifestyle. From California Bohemian to Southern Charm, there is something tailored for each and every style. We invite you to find a magical addition to your home in this wonderful collection. Take it from Jason himself!
“Everything that we do is about telling stories. John hand paints and sketches all of our patterns… everything works together. It’s about form and function and creating rugs that are truly special to both you and your home, whether it is a scatter rug or a small area rug they all have that combination magic and function.
A lot of our rugs are indoor/outdoor so you can hose them off, and many of them are even made from recycled water bottles, which we love, but we also have the classic offerings in wool material and some great neutral designs as well. We really wanted to create a collection that opens up a world of options to our consumers.”
Cotton rugs by Madcap Cottage allow for an elegant and seamless design to dress up any room. This classic material is both naturally soft and sustainable, with a well established lifetime.

We sat down with Jason at Madcap Cottage to get the scoop on what sets them apart in a crowd! This was his response:
“We’re storytellers. Our goal was to create a product that engages the audience, and is accessible, but also has a story line to it. For example, we have our pug rugs because we pound rescued pugs which allows us to celebrate our love for pugs and pound rescues. There is more thought and meaning put behind our design.. Everything we do is thoughtful and significant, and there’s real meaning to it that comes from a piece of our own hearts and souls, which follows the Madcap Cottage mandate: good design should be easily available for all!”

Being stuck at home for so long has been driving almost everyone to feel down in the dumps on most days. If you find yourself coming down with a case of the quarantine blues, what better time to revamp a room in your home with an area rug? Check out what Jason has to say about how he stays inspired and how Madcap Cottage design breaks that "6th wall" of conventional norms during this time.
“We’re so inspired by travel... From Palm beach to Rajasthan we are lucky enough that we can do a lot of road trips and see what this beautiful world has to offer. For now, we’re really just armchair traveling for the moment.

We draw inspiration from design books (ones about English houses, travel, great interior designers of the past), Pinterest, artwork, color patterns, movies and more. We’ve been doing a lot of yard work as well which inspires us. Some people think you have to look further, but you can find just as good inspiration in your own backyard as you can by traveling just by keeping your eyes and thoughts wide open to opportunity.”
Each Madcap Cottage rug is crafted with the consumer in mind, and it all starts with hand drawn designs by John. This creates an intimate and meaningful experience every time you walk into your home. Whether it be handmade, hand tufted, or machine made, each Madcap Cottage by Momeni rug is made with you in mind.
These rugs are created on a hand loom. Material is manually threaded to create a beautiful and timeless design. Handmade rugs rarely decay or break down, displaying the great value of workmanship that goes into them.
These rugs are assembled from skilled artisans gifted in the realm of hand-weaving. This takes a special type of loom, and each design you see on the rug has been hand crafted from individual fibers that are wrapped around a special rod during the weaving process. This creates an even more unique design within each and every rug.

Similar to a handmade rug, a hand hooked rug is made by hand using a special hook shaped device that allows knots to be made and pulled through the backing of the rug. After these knots are made, liquid latex or a different type of glue is placed on the back to secure them. Durable, yet still comfortable, this type of rug is perfect in any home.

Power loom construction is used in the Madcap Cottage machine made rugs, allowing for more of their intricate designs to be created. Each machine can be individually adjusted to create different sizes, densities, colors, and pile heights. The machine made rugs in the Madcap Cottage by Momeni collections are incredibly durable while still maintaining that quirky Madcap design.
