Description
Congo is a printed rug covered edge to edge in layered leaves, a dense canopy of beige, cream and soft grey foliage set against a deep anthracite ground, with flecks of rust and burnt orange caught among the leaves. True to its Salt & Pepper name, the palette stays mostly dark and light, so the warmer flashes read as accents. The design is digitally printed onto 100% polyester, which gives the leaves fine shading and a painterly depth across the whole rug.
We think it is at its best in a dining room or living room, where the dark ground suits wooden floors. The 120 by 170cm and 152 by 230cm sizes sit comfortably under a dining table or in front of a sofa, and the 185 by 290cm size suits a larger living room or the space beneath a bed. The 76 by 150cm size works well beside a bed, in a reading corner or in a small study, and the 61 by 230cm runner carries the same leaves along a hallway or landing.
It is washable, which settles the worry about a rug under a dining table, where crumbs and spilt drinks come with everyday meals. The mix of dark anthracite and light beige means it sits happily alongside both pale and deep furnishings. When choosing a size for a dining room, measure your table first and pick a rug that reaches beyond it on every side, so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.
