Description
This high pile rug brings a crisp, modern geometric design to a grey colour scheme. Diamonds of black, grey and cream run in a lattice across the whole rectangle, framed by pale grey bands, and the pile has a soft sheen that catches the light. The blocks of colour give the surface a textured look. It is made from 100% polyester, with a 3.5cm pile that gives it real depth underfoot, and we offer it in three sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm and 160 by 230cm.
The maker intends it to suit any room in the home, and the three sizes let you put that to work. The 80 by 150cm size sits neatly beside a bed or in front of an armchair, where a deep pile is welcome first thing in the morning. The 120 by 170cm size suits a bedroom, a study or a smaller living room, laid in front of a sofa without covering the whole floor. The 160 by 230cm size is the one to choose for a larger living room: big enough to take the front feet of a sofa and chairs, it pulls a seating area together.
Overall the rug is 4cm thick, so check the gap beneath any door that will open over it before you settle on a spot. Blot spills at once using a clean, dry cloth or sponge, and keep harsh chemicals away from the pile. When vacuuming, avoid a beater bar or set the head to its highest pile setting, choose low power, and work along the full length before turning and repeating, rather than dragging the head back and forth. The maker recommends a rug grip underlay on every floor: it adds cushioning, helps the rug wear well and helps keep it in place on a smooth surface. Before ordering, mark out your chosen size with masking tape.

Frequently Asked
Which size suits a double bed?
For a double bed, the 160 by 230cm size laid across the lower part of the bed gives you soft pile to step onto on both sides. If you only want a rug on one side, the 80 by 150cm size works well there instead.
Is the pattern raised or flat?
Raised. The diamonds sit at different heights from the bands around them, so the pattern has depth you can feel with your hand as well as see, which the maker intends to bring dimension to a room.
Will polyester stand up to everyday use in a living room?
The maker describes the polyester yarn as made to last and low in upkeep, so it suits a room that sees daily footfall. Following the vacuuming advice helps the pile stay looking its best.
Can I put this rug in the washing machine?
No, this rug is not machine washable. For a heavy stain, the maker recommends a professional cleaner rather than tackling the mark at home with strong products.
Can the largest size go under a dining table?
It can suit a smaller dining table. Measure the table together with the space its chairs take when people sit, then check that the 160 by 230cm size is large enough to keep every chair leg on the pile.
