Description
Senessa is a machine washable rug with a traditional border, worked in soft blue and deep red with cream between them. A large stepped medallion fills the centre, surrounded by small flowers and leaf sprays, and a wide red border frames the whole design. The colours carry a deliberately faded, distressed finish, so a new rug arrives with the gentle character of one that has been loved for years. It is a slim rug in 100% polyester, and it comes in two rectangular sizes: 120 by 170cm and 160 by 230cm.
The maker recommends this rug for the kitchen, the hallway, the dining room and the living room. A rug you can put through the machine makes good sense in each, because these are the rooms where crumbs, muddy footprints and spilled drinks collect. The 160 by 230cm size is the one to choose for a dining table or for the space in front of a sofa. The 120 by 170cm size suits a kitchen floor in front of the units, a smaller living room, or a wide hallway by the front door. Whichever you pick, the soft blue keeps the red from feeling heavy, so the rug brings warmth without crowding the room.
At 2mm thick it lies low, so check the gap under any door that opens across it before you settle on a spot. When it needs cleaning, the maker's care is a machine wash at 30°C and no bleach, a routine that suits a busy household. Before you order, measure your floor and mark each size out with masking tape so you can see how it sits around your furniture. On a smooth floor such as laminate, tile or wood, an underlay helps keep a rug in place.

Frequently Asked
What does the chenille feel like underfoot?
The maker uses chenille yarn for the face of this rug and describes it as soft and hard wearing, so it is gentle to stand on in a room you use every day.
What is on the back of the rug?
It has a non-slip backing, a plain grey layer across the whole underside, which makes the rug easy to lay down again after a wash.
Will it cope with a busy hallway or kitchen?
Yes. The maker describes this rug as hard wearing and names the hallway and kitchen among the rooms it is meant for, the places that see the most coming and going.
Does the design have a top and a bottom?
No. The medallion sits in the centre and the border runs all the way round, so the rug looks the same whichever end faces the door or the sofa.
