Paisley Garden Rug

About this rug

Paisleys and flowering stems packed edge to edge in cream and taupe

The field is completely filled — paisley boteh alternating with upright flowering stems, repeated in rows and framed by a flowering border. Nothing is left open, which is why it holds its own under a large sofa where a sparser design would get lost. The palette stays within cream, taupe and a little soft gold.

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 viscose & micro polyester on a cotton backing, at a 12mm pile. At 2,850 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; 240x340cm and 300x400cm are for open-plan rooms where the rug has to define the seating area on its own; the smaller sizes suit a bedside, a hallway or a study.

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.
