Description
Grismanne is a plain shaggy rug in Eucalyptus, a soft green with a grey cast that feels calm rather than bright. There is no pattern, just a deep, even pile of curly strands that gives the whole surface a gentle, tousled texture. The maker describes it as soft to the touch, and at 4.5cm the shaggy pile is deep enough for bare feet to sink a little. It is woven by machine from polypropylene, and it comes in four rectangular sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
The maker designed this rug for the rooms where comfort counts most: a living room, a bedroom or a snug. The 80 by 150cm size sits neatly beside a bed, so the first step of the morning lands somewhere soft, or in front of a favourite armchair. The 120 by 170cm suits a smaller living room or the foot of a double bed, while the 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm are large enough to lie under a sofa and coffee table, drawing a seating area together. Because the colour is plain, it sits happily with patterned cushions, throws and curtains. The maker also tells us polypropylene makes it a good choice for the busier parts of the home.
The rug is 5cm thick overall, so check the gap beneath any door that will open across it before you order. Care is straightforward, and the maker is clear about it: vacuum regularly with the power turned low, and never beat or shake the rug. Keeping to that routine stops dust working its way deep into the strands. Measure your space first and mark the outline on the floor with masking tape to see how each size sits. On a smooth floor such as wood or tiles, an underlay helps keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Which size should I choose for my living room?
For a seating area we suggest a size that lets at least the front feet of the sofa and chairs rest on the rug, with a strip of bare floor showing all the way round. In most living rooms that points to the 160 by 230cm or the 200 by 290cm.
Is Eucalyptus more green or more grey?
It sits between the two. Eucalyptus is a muted green with a soft grey tone, so it behaves like a gentle neutral and works well with wood floors, cream walls and stone shades.
Can I put this rug in a bathroom or conservatory?
We would keep it to dry indoor rooms. The maker suggests it for living rooms, bedrooms and snugs, and nothing from the maker says it is made for damp conditions, so a bathroom or a damp conservatory is not the right place.
Which size suits a double bed best?
We like the 160 by 230cm laid across the lower two thirds of a double bed, so there is soft pile underfoot on both sides when you get up in the morning.
