Kneel down and the flowers come into focus, small and quiet, one after another. Who planted a garden on this floor? They repeat corner to corner inside a matching border, in deep charcoal, soft pewter grey, ivory, pale bone and warm taupe. The softly faded look is part of the design. So what does a floral rug like this say? It says calm. It says roots, and a family that keeps coming back to the same room. Picture this traditional rug in your living room, holding the coffee table and the chairs people pull close. Picture it as a runner rug down a hallway, or beside a bed, so your first step in the bedroom lands warm. And when life spills? Blot it, spot clean with water, vacuum with no beater bar. It is a washable rug: machine washable, cold and gentle, then tumble dry low or lay it flat. Pet friendly, antiallergenic and antibacterial, with nothing at the edge for a paw to pull. The non slip backing keeps it where you put it. The low pile is 6 mm, with a soft middle layer bonded in, so doors swing over it and feet sink a little. It does not shed, and the edge is finished with an overlock stitch. Sizes come in feet, inches and centimetres, as an area rug and as a runner. Measure, mark with tape, then choose. Your floor need not stay cold and bare.
