Description
The Sarnelle rug in Pink is a low pile pure wool rug built from overlapping curved shapes and blocks of solid colour. Pink leads the palette, from a bright magenta to a soft blush, set beside teal, rust, mustard yellow, peach, a pale sage green and a creamy white. The curves and straight edges lock together, and the clean outline of each shape gives the surface a textured look. The pile is wool throughout, dense and comfortable underfoot, and it comes in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
Because the design carries so much colour, it works best where it can be the focal point: a living room, bedroom, dining room or study. The 120 by 170cm size sits beside a bed or in front of a reading chair. The 160 by 230cm rug anchors a sofa and coffee table in an average living room, with the front feet of the sofa resting on it. The 200 by 290cm size suits a larger room or a dining table, where chairs drawn back should still land on the rug. Its pink, teal and rust give you colours to echo in cushions and throws.
The pile is 1cm deep and the rug is 1.5cm thick, enough to soften the step on a hard floor; before you settle on a spot, check the gap under any door that has to open across it. Some shedding is natural in a new wool rug. Vacuum on a low suction setting with the beater bar off, spot clean any spill, and never brush or scrub the pile. Trim any loose strand with scissors rather than pulling it. Keep the rug dry and away from damp floors, and never fold it. Before you order, mark the size out with masking tape, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
Which size works under a double bed?
Laid across the bed, the 160 by 230cm size runs under the lower part of a double bed and leaves rug showing on both sides for bare feet in the morning. The smaller 120 by 170cm size works on one side of the bed instead.
What does low pile mean for this rug?
It means a short, dense wool pile rather than a long shaggy one, so the curved colour blocks keep their crisp outlines and a sofa or table sits level on it.
Can I put this rug in the washing machine?
No. This rug is spot clean only, so treat a spill where it lands and never put the rug in the washing machine. Keep it dry, and avoid brushing or scrubbing the wool.
Can the rug go in a kitchen or utility room?
We would keep it out of both. The care asks for the rug to stay dry and away from damp or wet floors, so it belongs in a living room, bedroom, dining room or study instead.
