Who are we?

Hi, we’re Kukoon, a family-run e-commerce business based in Newry, Northern Ireland, passionate about bringing style, comfort, and great design to homes everywhere.

Meet Paul Vallely and Clare Walsh, the siblings who turned their father's rug market dreams into a thriving online marketplace. Kukoon began with a simple idea: Paul and Clare’s dad had a pile of unsold rugs gathering dust. The siblings listed a few on eBay… and they sold. Fast. 

Today, Kukoon has grown into one of the UK and Ireland’s leading online homeware brands, trusted by hundreds of thousands of customers. 

From our in-house design team to global partners, we craft rugs that combine quality, craftsmanship, and contemporary style.

Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our family roots: practical, entrepreneurial, a bit gutsy, and always focused on delighting customers.
