Carved Halo Rug

About this rug

A soft-cornered rectangle with concentric bands carved into the pile

The shape is a rectangle with its corners rounded right off, and the pattern is cut into the pile rather than printed onto it — a series of frames stepping inward from the edge, each one a different depth, so the design reads as shadow rather than colour. In a plain room it does the work a patterned rug would do without introducing a second colour.

6 colours to choose from

Made in cream, beige, stone, mink, grey and anthracite. Cream and ivory lift a dark room and make a small one feel larger. They ask a little more care by a front door, but in a sitting room or bedroom they do more for the space than a dark rug can. Beige sits between warm and cool, which is why it is the most forgiving neutral in a room with mixed woods and metals.

How it is made

Woven in Turkey from 100% microfibre polyester on a jute backing, at a 13mm pile. At 2,500 g/m² it has real weight, so it lies flat from the first day and stays where you put it. Colour is dyed into the yarn before weaving rather than printed on afterwards, which is why it has depth and will not fade to a flat block.

Which size do I need?

The sizes below are the overall span of the shape at its widest and longest.

160x230cm suits most uk sitting rooms and is the size to pick if you want the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug; 200x290cm works where the seating is spread wider, or under a six-seat dining table.

Under a dining table, allow around 60cm beyond each edge so chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.

Looking after it

This is a spot-clean rug rather than a washable one. Vacuum on a low, suction-only setting, blot spills as they happen, and rotate it every few months so it wears evenly. The full care guide is on the Care tab.
