Description
Our Velmette is a plain shaggy round rug in rose, a soft dusty pink that runs evenly across the whole surface with no pattern at all. The pile is deep and soft, with long, loose strands that give it a gently tousled look and a cushioned feel when you step barefoot onto it. It is tufted by hand in 100% polyester, a fibre the maker picks for hard wear as well as comfort, and it comes in a single size: a 133cm round.
A round rug softens a room full of straight lines, and at 133cm across this one is sized to mark out a single spot rather than cover a whole floor. In a living room it sits in front of an armchair or beneath a small coffee table, giving a quiet seat its own warm patch of floor. In a bedroom it makes a soft landing beside the bed, so your first step of the morning meets warm pile instead of cold boards. The rose shade sits with greys, creams and pale woods, adding warmth to a cool scheme, and because the rug is plain it never competes with patterned cushions, throws or curtains.
The rug is 3cm thick, so if it will sit near a door, check that the door clears that height before you choose its spot. The maker's care is all dry: vacuum it regularly, freshen it with a dry shampoo when needed, and send it to a specialist cleaner for anything more. Keep it dry. When it arrives, reverse roll it and leave it flat for 24 hours so it settles. On a smooth floor, an underlay helps keep it in place. Before you order, mark out a 133cm circle with string so you can see how much floor it covers.

Frequently Asked
Can this shaggy rug go in a bathroom or kitchen?
We would keep it out of both. The maker asks for the rug to be kept dry, so it belongs in a living room or bedroom rather than anywhere steam and splashes would soak into the long pile.
Can I put the Velmette rug in the washing machine?
No. The maker asks for this rug to be kept dry, so it should never go in a washing machine or be soaked. Regular vacuuming and dry methods do the everyday work.
How do I keep the shaggy pile looking full?
The maker suggests brushing the strands gently or going over them with the floor tool of your vacuum, then giving the rug a good shake from time to time to restore the pile.
Is the Rose shade a bright pink?
No, it is a soft, muted pink with a slightly dusty tone, the same shade all over, so it reads as a warm neutral more than a bold colour.
Is this round rug suitable for a nursery?
The maker advises keeping this rug away from children under 36 months, so we would choose it for a living room or an adult's bedroom rather than a nursery or a baby's play area.
