Description
The Olympia is a modern shaggy rug in the Grey / Navy colourway, with a bold geometric basketweave of rectangular blocks laid on the diagonal. Silver grey, a warm taupe brown, a flecked charcoal blue and a deep navy sit side by side. It is machine made from polyester, with a multi-textured pile: each block has its own shaggy texture, and metallic effect yarn runs through the fibre for a gentle gleam.
We would put it in a living room, where its greys and navy sit easily beside wooden floors and painted walls. It comes in three sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug suits a smaller space in front of a fireplace or beside an armchair. The 120 by 170cm size sits well under a coffee table, and the 160 by 220cm rug is large enough to run under the front legs of a sofa and chairs.
A few practical points to help you choose. The metallic effect yarn gives the pile a subtle sheen, so pick this one if you want a rug with a little light in it rather than a flat, matt finish. The multi-textured pile means the pattern reads in texture as well as colour, which keeps the design clear in a plainly furnished room. Polyester is a man made fibre, worth knowing if you prefer to avoid natural fibres at home. Before you order, measure the space and leave a border of bare floor around the rug, then pick the size that fits.
