Description
Blocks is a modern rug in grey and cream, made up of a patchwork of softly irregular stripes. Each block holds a set of grey lines running either across or along the rug, and the direction switches from one block to the next, so the surface reads like a loose chequerboard. Small squares of plain cream sit between the blocks and give the design room to breathe. The grey has a gently flecked look against the cream ground, which keeps the pattern light rather than stark, and there is no border, so the blocks run right to the neat, straight edges.
It is a natural fit for a modern living room, and its quiet grey and cream colours sit comfortably with pale wooden floors and neutral schemes. We sell it in three rectangular sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug suits a smaller room, the space beside a bed or the area in front of a fireplace. The 120 by 170cm size sits in front of a sofa or under a coffee table, and the 160 by 230cm rug is large enough to anchor a seating area, with the front feet of a sofa and chairs resting on it.
Because the pattern is all over, with no central motif, it has no top or bottom, so you can turn the rug end to end to even out wear. Before you choose a size, mark it out on the floor with masking tape and leave a band of bare floor around the edges, so the room keeps its shape.
