Description

Velmette is a plain black shaggy rug, one deep and even colour from end to end, with no pattern to date it or argue with the furniture around it. The pile is long, soft and full, so every step lands on something cushioned, and against pale floorboards or a light wall the solid black reads as a calm, grounding block of colour. It is hand tufted and the fibre is 100% polyester. We offer it in five sizes: 90 by 150cm, 110 by 160cm, 140 by 200cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.

The maker designed this rug for living rooms and bedrooms, and the five sizes divide neatly between the two. The 90 by 150cm and 110 by 160cm sizes sit well beside a bed or at the foot of one, giving bare feet a warm landing first thing in the morning. The 140 by 200cm works in front of a sofa in a smaller living room, while the 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm sizes are large enough to slide under the front feet of a sofa and armchairs. Because the colour is one solid shade, it sits happily beside patterned cushions, bold art or a busy throw.

The rug is 3cm thick, so check the gap under any door that will open across it before you settle on its spot. The care is all dry: the maker advises vacuuming regularly, a dry shampoo when it needs freshening and a specialist cleaner only when it needs more than that, and asks that the rug is kept well clear of damp. When it arrives, reverse roll it and leave it lying flat for a full 24 hours so it settles. Mark out the size you are considering with tape on the floor, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, an underlay helps keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked

Can the Velmette rug go in a washing machine?

No. The maker gives dry care only for this rug, so keep it out of the washing machine and away from water, and leave deeper cleaning to a specialist cleaner.

How do I keep the shaggy pile looking full?

Give the rug a good shake now and then to lift the pile, and brush it gently or vacuum it using the floor tool attachment, as the maker recommends for this rug.

Will the Velmette rug suit a bathroom or a conservatory?

We would keep it to living rooms and bedrooms, the rooms the maker designed it to suit. The maker asks that it stays dry, so a bathroom or a damp conservatory is not the right place.

Does the Velmette rug come as a hallway runner?

No, it comes only as a rectangular rug in five sizes, the smallest being 90 by 150cm, so it is made for living rooms and bedrooms rather than a long, narrow hallway.

Why did the maker choose polyester for this rug?

The maker says the 100% polyester fibre was picked for durability and for comfort underfoot, which matters for a deep shaggy pile that gets walked over every day.
