Description
Delmenne is a light beige rug with a soft grey border, and its appeal lies in the weave. Rather than a flat surface, it is woven in small, neat loops set in tidy rows, which give the plain colour a gentle texture you can see and feel. The fibre is a blend of 49% sisal, 41% wool and 10% polyester, pairing the toughness of sisal with wool for a kinder touch. That looped boucle construction makes it a little softer underfoot than a plain sisal weave. A grey fabric binding finishes all four sides. We offer it in 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
The maker recommends this rug for busy spaces, naming living rooms, hallways and kitchens, and the hard-wearing sisal in the blend copes with steady foot traffic while keeping its shape. The 80 by 150cm suits a wide hallway or the floor in front of a kitchen counter. The 120 by 170cm works in a smaller living room, set before an armchair or a compact sofa. The 160 by 230cm is the size many living rooms need, sitting beneath a coffee table with the front feet of the sofa resting on it. The 200 by 290cm gathers a whole seating group in a bigger room. In a kitchen, keep it clear of the sink so it stays dry.
The looped weave is 1cm thick and lies low, but check the gap beneath any door that swings over it. For care, the maker advises vacuuming regularly in one direction rather than back and forth with a standard floor tool, keeping the rug dry, and leaving serious spills or stains to a professional cleaner. Roll it, never fold it, when you move or store it. Mark the size out with masking tape before ordering, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep a rug in place.

Frequently Asked
What does boucle mean on this rug?
Boucle describes the looped weave. The surface is formed of rows of small, rounded loops rather than cut ends, which gives the rug its nubbly texture and helps it keep its look in a busy room.
Will the sisal feel rough underfoot?
Expect a firm, textured feel rather than a plush one. The looped weave and the 41% wool in the blend make it a little gentler than a plain sisal weave, but it remains a hard-wearing rug at heart.
Can it go in a bathroom or a conservatory?
No. The maker asks for the rug to be kept away from the wet, so we would keep it to dry rooms indoors, such as a living room, a hallway or a kitchen well away from the sink.
Is the smallest size long enough to use as a runner?
We would not call it a runner. At 80 by 150cm it is a small rectangle, best inside a front door, at the end of a wide hallway or by a kitchen counter rather than along a narrow corridor.
Will the colours work with my floor?
The light beige centre and soft grey border are quiet, natural tones that sit comfortably on oak, painted boards or stone, and they suit warm and cool colour schemes alike.
