Description
This is a flat woven outdoor rug in 100% polyester, 200cm long and 140cm wide, in grey. Look closely and the weave mixes lighter and deeper threads, so the surface reads as a soft, flecked grey rather than one solid block of colour, with a deeper toned band running along its edges. Polyester is a hard-wearing synthetic fibre, which makes it a sensible choice for a rug that lives outside the house. At 4.6KG it is a manageable weight for one person to roll up and carry out to the patio.
At 200cm by 140cm it is sized to sit under a small garden table with the chairs or a two-seater sofa around it, marking out a seating area on a patio, terrace or balcony. It works just as well laid flat on paving with floor cushions gathered around a low table, turning a bare corner of the garden into somewhere to sit and stay a while. The grey sits comfortably against brick and stone, and it pairs easily with black metal or rope furniture, pale wood and plain linen cushions. In a small courtyard it brings a little softness underfoot to hard paving without taking over the space.
The rug is woven, and its care is kept simple. It is spot clean only, so treat a mark where it sits rather than washing the whole rug, and it is not for machine drying or ironing. That flecked weave is a quiet backdrop, so we would let the furniture and cushions around it carry the colour and texture. For a relaxed, layered look, place it with the long side running parallel to your sofa so the front legs rest on the rug, then add a couple of textured cushions and a throw.
