Description
The Sierra is a textured shaggy rug in Slate Grey, a plain design with no pattern to compete with the rest of the room. The colour reads as a cool grey with a soft blue cast, and the shaggy pile catches the light so the surface shifts gently between lighter and darker tones. It is machine made from polypropylene, and the textured pile is soft underfoot.
We see this slate grey shaggy rug as a living room rug. It softens a hard floor and sits happily beside grey or neutral furniture, and the plain colour lets cushions, throws and artwork take the lead. It comes in four sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm, 160 by 220cm and 200 by 290cm. The smallest suits a spot beside a sofa or in front of a chair, the two middle sizes sit nicely in front of a sofa or under a coffee table, and the largest is big enough to anchor a whole seating area with the furniture standing on it.
In practical terms, the soft shaggy pile settles the question of comfort: this is a rug for bare feet and for sitting on the floor, not a flatweave. The textured pile gives the surface movement and depth of colour, so a plain rug never looks flat or dull, even at the larger sizes. Before you choose, measure the space and mark it out on the floor, leaving a border of floor showing around the rug.
