Description
Our Lomette rug is a hand woven wool rug in Oyster, a soft grey-beige that sits neatly between warm and cool tones, so it settles easily beside wood floors and painted walls. The interest comes entirely from the weave: rows of chunky braids running the length of the rug, giving a plain colour real depth and texture. It is made from 100% wool, woven by hand, and the braided pile stands 1.4cm high for a plump, substantial feel underfoot. We offer it in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 300cm.
It belongs in the quieter rooms of a home, the living room and the bedroom. The 120 by 170cm size suits a bedside or a reading chair, so the first thing your feet meet in the morning is wool rather than cold boards. The 160 by 230cm rug sits well in front of a sofa, with the sofa's front feet resting on the wool so the seating and the rug read as one group. The 200 by 300cm rug is the one for a larger room, big enough to go under a sofa and chairs together or under a bed. What you gain is texture without busyness: a calm, plain colour that lets cushions, throws and artwork change while the braided weave keeps the floor from looking flat.
As a hand woven rug, it measures 1.4cm thick, which gives it real body over a wooden or tiled floor while keeping it low enough to step across without thinking. Before you order, mark the size out on the floor with masking tape; it is the simplest way to see whether the rug frames your furniture the way you want. On a smooth floor, an underlay helps keep the rug in place. If it will lie near a door, check the gap beneath the door against that 1.4cm first.

Frequently Asked
Which size of Lomette rug should I choose for a living room?
For seating in front of a sofa, the 160 by 230cm size works well; for a larger room where a sofa and chairs share one rug, choose 200 by 300cm.
What colour is Oyster?
Oyster is a soft grey-beige, a gentle neutral that sits between light grey and warm beige rather than reading as white or cream.
Is the Lomette rug pure wool?
Yes, it is 100% wool, woven by hand into chunky braids that give the rug its plain but richly textured surface.
Can I use the Lomette rug in a bedroom?
Yes, the bedroom suits it well; the 120 by 170cm size works beside a bed, while the 200 by 300cm size is large enough to go under one.
Does the rug have a pattern?
There is no printed pattern; the design is a plain Oyster colour given texture by rows of chunky hand woven braids running the length of the rug.
