Description
Velmette is a plain black shaggy round rug, one solid colour from the centre outwards with no pattern at all, which makes it an easy piece to bring into almost any scheme. The long pile is soft and deep underfoot, and its strands catch the light with a gentle sheen, so the black looks rich rather than flat. It is made from 100% polyester, a fibre the maker chose for durability and comfort, and it is hand tufted for a full, even pile across the whole circle. It comes in a single size, a 133cm round.
We see it most at home in a living room or a bedroom, the two rooms the maker had in mind. At 133cm across it is a good fit beside a bed, so the first step out in the morning lands on something warm and soft instead of a cold floor. It also works in front of an armchair to make a cosy spot for reading. In a living room it can sit under a small coffee table or simply soften an open stretch of hard floor. The round shape is useful in a room full of straight lines, breaking up square furniture, and the black sets off paler sofas, bedding and painted walls while giving brighter accents a strong base.
The rug is 3cm thick, a generous depth for a rug of this kind, so check the gap under any door that opens across the spot you have chosen before deciding. Care is straightforward: vacuum it regularly, use a dry shampoo if it needs freshening, and leave anything more than that to a specialist cleaner. Before ordering, measure the space you have in mind, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, lay an underlay beneath it to help keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
How can I check a 133cm round rug will suit my room?
Mark out a circle 133cm across on the floor with masking tape or sheets of newspaper before you order, then walk round it and see how it sits beside the bed, chair or table you have in mind.
How should I vacuum this shaggy rug?
Use a floor tool attachment or brush the pile gently, and give the rug a shake now and then to lift the pile and keep it looking full.
Can this rug go in a bathroom?
No. The maker's care advice is to keep the rug away from the wet, so it belongs in a dry room such as a living room or bedroom.
What should I do when my new rug arrives?
Reverse roll it, rolling it the opposite way to how it came, then lay it flat for 24 hours after unpacking so it settles and looks its best.
