Concentric Fade Rug

About this rug

Rectangles nested inside one another, fading as they go in

A series of rectangular outlines sit one inside the next, beginning charcoal at the edge and lightening to white at the centre, so the rug seems to have depth to it. The lines are drawn in fine striated yarn rather than solid blocks, which keeps a stark idea from looking printed.

Why grey works in a living room

Grey is the safest choice in a room you have already decorated — it picks up what is around it instead of competing, and it works equally over oak, laminate and dark wood.

How it is made

Woven in Turkey from 100% acrylic on a cotton backing, at a 10mm pile. At 2,100 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?

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; the smaller sizes suit a bedside, a hallway or a study; 80x300cm is a runner for a hall or a landing.

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.
