Description
Opulent Celeste is a low-pile rug with the faded charm of an old Persian carpet. An all-over floral pattern of ivory medallions and lattice work sits on a soft sea green ground with a cool blue-grey cast, lifted by small touches of rust. The yarn is dyed for a distressed finish, and the ivory motifs stand slightly proud of the ground, which gives the surface a textured look. It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre, with a short fringe on each end and bound long sides. We offer it in four sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
It belongs in the main rooms: a living room, a dining room, a bedroom or a study. The 160 by 230cm size sits under a sofa and coffee table, while the 200 by 290cm is the one we would pick for a dining table, so the chairs can stay on the rug as they move. The 120 by 170cm suits the foot of a bed or a reading chair, and the 80 by 150cm works beside a bed. The gain is a traditional pattern in a quiet palette: soft green, ivory and rust sit happily with oak floors, warm woods and pale walls, so the rug adds warmth without shouting.
The pile is 9mm and the rug is 1.2cm thick in all, so check the gap under any door that will open across it. The maker's care is straightforward: spot clean only, keep it off damp or wet floors and never fold it. If a strand works loose, trim it with scissors level with the pile rather than pulling it. Lay the rug flat, out of direct sunlight. Before you choose a size, mark it out on the floor with tape, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, an underlay helps keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
Is Opulent Celeste more green or more blue?
The ground is a muted sea green with a strong blue-grey cast, so it reads as a cool, dusty shade rather than a bright or leafy green, with ivory motifs and small rust accents.
How do I choose the right size for my living room?
Aim for the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on the rug with a band of bare floor showing around it; taping each size out on the floor makes the comparison easy.
Does the low pile feel soft underfoot?
It is a low pile, so it feels close and even rather than deep and plush, and the raised ivory motifs give a gentle texture that you notice under bare feet.
Is polyester hard-wearing enough for a busy family room?
The maker describes the yarn as durable, which makes it a sensible choice for a room in daily use, and spills should be dealt with by spot cleaning, as the maker advises.
Can this rug go in a kitchen or bathroom?
We would keep it to dry rooms: the maker advises against using it on damp or wet surfaces, so a bathroom or a spot beside the sink is the wrong place.
