Description
Apollo is a modern abstract rug in cream and beige, with broad, sweeping brushstroke curves that loop and cross over the whole surface. Soft golden tan tones run through the strokes, so the design reads as warm and calm rather than busy. It is machine woven with a high and low pile: the high pile is made entirely of polypropylene and the low pile entirely of polyester, which gives the swirls a gently raised feel against the flatter ground. The pile is soft underfoot, so it is as pleasant to stand on as it is to look at.
We see this rug at home in the living room, where its neutral colours sit easily with wooden floors, warm whites and darker upholstery alike. The smallest size, 80 by 150cm, suits the space in front of an armchair or beside a sofa. At 120 by 170cm it anchors a coffee table, while 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm are large enough to sit under the front of a sofa and armchairs, pulling a whole seating area together.
The rug is hard wearing, so it copes with the daily foot traffic of a busy living room. It is also stain resistant, which takes some of the worry out of putting a light coloured rug near the sofa, where cups of tea and evening snacks are part of life. Before you choose, measure your seating area: the right size leaves an even border of floor showing around the edges.
