Oren Low Pile Abstract Rug - Blue & Cream

Oren is a low pile rug in blue and cream, with a distressed abstract pattern that looks weathered and softly worn. Deep and paler blues gather in clouds and flecks across a cream ground, never settling into a repeat. The maker took nature and renewal as the starting point, building the surface from layers of texture and shifting tones that give the rug an organic, tactile character. It is made from 100% polyester, chosen for its softness under bare feet. We offer it in four sizes: 80 by 140cm, 120 by 160cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 300cm.

Because the pattern has no fixed centre that needs aligning with furniture, the rug is easy to place in a living room, bedroom, dining room or study. The 80 by 140cm size suits the side of a bed or the space in front of an armchair, giving a soft first step in the morning. The 120 by 160cm rug fits in front of a sofa in a smaller room, or beneath a coffee table. Choose 160 by 230cm to sit under a three-seater sofa with its front legs resting on the rug, or 200 by 300cm for a larger lounge or under a dining table. The blue and cream sit happily with pale wood and linen.

The pile stands 7mm high and the rug measures 2cm thick overall, so check the clearance beneath any door that will swing across it. The maker's care is straightforward: spot clean only, keep the rug dry and off damp or wet floors, never fold it, and lay it flat away from direct sunlight. If a strand works loose, trim it level with the pile using scissors rather than pulling it. Measure your space and mark the outline with masking tape to see which size sits best, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep the rug in place.

Which size works best in a bedroom?

For a soft step on both sides of the bed, we suggest a pair of the 80 by 140cm size. If you prefer a single rug, the 160 by 230cm size can sit beneath the lower half of a double bed.

Can this rug go in the washing machine?

No. The maker gives this rug spot cleaning only, so it should never go in a washing machine; deal with marks individually and keep the rug as dry as you can.

Is this rug suitable for a bathroom?

We would not put it in a bathroom, a wet room or anywhere water collects, because the maker advises against using it on a damp or wet surface. A dry living room, bedroom or study suits it far better.

Is the blue bright or muted?

It is a muted blue that moves from deeper shades into paler, washed-out patches, broken up throughout by cream, so the rug reads soft and weathered rather than bright.
