Description
Velmette is a plain grey shaggy round rug, sold in one size: a 133cm round. There is no pattern at all, just an even mid grey with a gentle silvery sheen where the long strands catch the light and lie in different directions, so it sits quietly with almost any colour scheme. The shaggy pile is deep and soft, thick enough for bare feet to sink well down into it on a cold morning. It is made from 100% polyester, a fibre the maker picked for comfort and for wearing well through everyday use, and it is hand tufted.
The maker sees this rug in living rooms and bedrooms, and a circle suits both well. As a 133cm round, it is large enough to anchor a reading spot or sit in the middle of a living room floor as a soft island, yet small enough to lay beside a bed so the first step of the day lands somewhere warm. A round shape breaks up a room full of straight lines from sofas, beds and floorboards, and the plain grey lets cushions, throws and artwork take the colour. If you want texture without adding busy pattern, this gives you exactly that.
Hand tufted and 3cm thick, it has real depth, so if it will sit near a door, check that the door swings clear of it before you order. For care, the maker advises regular vacuuming with the floor tool or a gentle brush, a dry shampoo when it needs freshening, and a specialist cleaner for anything more. Keep it dry. When it first arrives, roll it the opposite way, leave it lying flat for a full 24 hours so it settles, then give it a good shake to lift the pile. Measure the space first, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep a rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Where does a 133cm round rug work best?
It works as a soft zone rather than a whole floor covering: a reading spot, the space beside a bed, or the centre of a smaller living room. Mark a circle on the floor with string or tape first to see how it sits with your furniture.
Is the grey warm or cool in tone?
It is a fairly neutral mid grey that leans slightly cool, with lighter tips on the strands giving a soft silvery look, so it sits happily beside white, charcoal, wood tones and muted colours.
Why is this rug made from polyester?
The maker chose 100% polyester for comfort underfoot and for durability, which suits a shaggy rug that will be walked on and sat on every day in a living room or bedroom.
Can I use this rug in a bathroom?
We would not. The maker asks that this rug is kept away from the wet and suggests a dry shampoo rather than water, so it belongs in a living room or bedroom.
How do I lift the pile if it flattens?
Give the rug a good shake from time to time and brush it gently or go over it with the floor tool on your vacuum; the maker recommends this to keep the pile full and looking its best.
Is this rug suitable for a nursery?
The maker advises keeping this rug away from children under 36 months, so we would not choose it for a nursery or a young toddler's room.
