Description
The Kelso Check is a traditional rug in the Ochre colourway. It is built around a broad check of warm ochre yellow squares crossed by bands of beige, cream and soft grey, with fine darker lines running through them. It has the familiar look of a classic country check, and it is machine woven from 100% polypropylene. The lines of the check are finished by hand and cut into the pile, so the striped bands and the plain ochre squares sit at slightly different levels. That gives the pattern real depth as the light moves across it.
This is a rug for the living room, where its warm yellow and beige sit comfortably beside a grey sofa, pale wooden floorboards and cream walls. The check suits a cosy traditional scheme and works just as well in a simpler room that needs some warmth. It comes in three sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug suits a reading corner or the side of a bed, the 120 by 170cm rug anchors a coffee table, and the 160 by 230cm rug is large enough to sit under the front of a sofa or a bed.
Because it is machine woven, the check is part of the rug itself rather than printed on its surface, and the hand finished lines give it the texture of a woven cloth. Before you choose, we suggest measuring your space and marking the outline on the floor with masking tape. That quick test settles which of the three sizes will sit best in your room.

Frequently Asked

What is the Kelso Check rug made of?
It is machine woven from 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fibre, and the lines of the check are finished by hand in the pile.
What colours are in the Ochre colourway?
The main colour is a warm ochre yellow, crossed by bands of beige, cream and soft grey, with fine darker lines running through the check.
Which rooms does this check rug suit?
It sits well in a living room in front of or under a sofa. The larger sizes also work at the foot of a bed, and the smallest suits a reading corner.
Is the check pattern printed or woven?
The check is part of the machine woven rug rather than printed on top. Its lines are finished by hand, so they sit at a slightly different level from the ochre squares.
