Description

Velmette is a plain shaggy rug in duck egg, a soft, pale blue with no pattern at all, so the colour and the long, fluffy pile carry the whole look. Finer, glossier strands run through the thicker yarn, giving the surface a quiet shimmer as the light moves. The shaggy pile is deep and soft, the kind you want to stand on in bare feet, and it is made from 100% polyester. Each rug is hand tufted, and you can choose 90 by 150cm, 110 by 160cm, 140 by 200cm, 160 by 230cm or 200 by 290cm.

The maker designed this rug for living rooms and bedrooms, where comfort matters most. The 90 by 150cm size sits neatly beside a bed, so your first step in the morning lands on pile rather than a cold floor. The 110 by 160cm and 140 by 200cm sizes suit the space in front of a sofa or a reading chair. Choose 160 by 230cm or 200 by 290cm and the rug is large enough to slide under the front legs of a sofa, or under the lower half of a double bed, pulling the furniture into one soft, settled area. Because it is plain, duck egg sits happily with white, grey and natural wood, leaving cushions and throws to carry the pattern.

The rug is 3cm thick, so measure the gap beneath any door that opens over the spot you have in mind before you order. For care, the maker advises vacuuming regularly, using a dry shampoo when it needs a clean and sending it to a specialist cleaner when deeper cleaning is needed. Keep it away from the wet. When it arrives, reverse roll it and leave it flat for 24 hours so it settles. On a smooth wooden or tiled floor, an underlay helps keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked

How do I check which size will fit my room?

Mark the outline of the size you are considering on the floor with masking tape and leave it for a day. You will soon see whether the rug crowds the walls or leaves a clear border of floor showing, which tends to look more settled.

Is the duck egg shade closer to blue or green?

This colourway reads as a soft, pale blue rather than a green, and the glossier strands through the pile make it look a shade lighter where daylight falls across the rug.

Can this rug go in a bathroom or a conservatory?

No. The maker's care advice is to keep the rug away from the wet, so it belongs indoors in dry rooms such as a living room or a bedroom.

How should I vacuum a shaggy rug like this?

Brush it gently, or vacuum using the floor tool attachment as the maker advises, then give the rug a shake to lift the pile and keep its appearance even.

Why is polyester used for a shaggy rug?

The maker chose 100% polyester for its durability and its comfort underfoot, so the long pile is meant to stay soft and hard wearing through everyday use in a living room or bedroom.
