Faded Ikat Rug — Beige

About this rug

A dense all-over ikat

A dense all-over ikat, faded back so the rust, slate and cream motifs read softly rather than shouting.

The ikat motifs repeat edge to edge with no central medallion, which means the rug reads evenly whichever way you lay it and never looks wrong under a coffee table. Up close the detail is intricate; from standing height it settles into a warm, quiet texture.

Why beige works in a living room

Beige sits between warm and cool, which is why it is the most forgiving neutral in a room with mixed woods and metals.

Woven in Turkey, built for daily life

The Faded Ikat Rug is woven in Turkey from 100% polyester on a cotton weft, at a 6mm pile — deep enough to feel soft underfoot, shallow enough to clear an internal door and to take a dining chair pushed back without catching. At 2,200 g/m² it has genuine weight, so it lies flat from the first day and stays where you put it.

The yarn is space dyed before weaving rather than printed afterwards. That is why the colour has depth and shifts a little as you move around it, and why it will not fade to a flat block the way a printed rug does. The ends are finished with a self-fringe and the sides are overlocked, so nothing is raw or cut.

Which size do I need?

In a living room, aim to get the front legs of your sofa and chairs onto the rug. 160x230cm suits most UK sitting rooms; 200x290cm works where the seating is spread wider; 240x340cm and 300x400cm are for open-plan rooms where the rug needs to define the seating area on its own. 100x300cm is a long, narrow size that suits a hallway, a landing, or the side of a bed.

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

Looking after it

This is a spot-clean rug, not 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. Treated that way it will hold its colour for years.

A beige rug with the character of an older piece, made to cope with a great deal more than an older piece could.
