Description
The Imperial is a traditional rug in grey and cream, with an ornate damask-style pattern of scrolling leaves, flourishes and stylised flowers repeated across its surface. Soft grey forms the ground and the deeper shading, while cream picks out the motifs so the design reads clearly. In places the grey has a gentle silvery sheen, giving the pattern a sense of depth as the light moves over it. Its classic look suits period and modern homes alike.
Our Imperial grey rug comes in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 235cm and 200 by 285cm. The smallest suits a reading corner, the space in front of an armchair or the side of a bed, adding warmth and pattern without covering the floor. The 160 by 235cm size works well in a sitting room, laid in front of a sofa with its front legs resting on it, and the largest can anchor a living room seating area or sit under a bed in a larger bedroom.
Before you choose, measure the space and mark the rug's outline with masking tape, the easiest way to see how much bare floor you want left around the edges. In a sitting room, a border of floor on every side keeps the room feeling open, while in a bedroom the rug is best placed so your feet land on it as you get up. The even repeat looks balanced whichever way round it lies, so you can turn it now and then to spread wear.
