Someone seems to have painted the floor in wide, calm bands. Step closer. The edges are soft, not sharp. What do lines like these do to a room? They stretch it. Brothybeck stacks pale sage green, warm linen and soft fog grey in rows, with bone white and a faint eucalyptus between. A modern rug, a striped rug that says slow down, there is room here. The soft, faded look is part of the design. Does calm hold up with a real family? It does. The low pile is 6 mm, so doors swing over it, and a soft middle layer sits inside, so it feels cushioned underfoot. The non slip backing keeps it still. It does not shed, and the edge is stitched closed, so there is nothing loose for a paw to pull. Pet friendly, child friendly. And when life gets messy? Then it goes in the machine. A washable rug, machine washable, cold and gentle, then tumble dry low or lay it flat. Blot fresh spills with water. The first picture shows the design on its own, so you see the colours before you see them in your room. Choose it as an area rug under a coffee table in the living room, or a runner rug down a hallway or beside a bed in the bedroom. Sizes come in feet and inches and in centimetres. Measure, mark with tape, and let a cold, empty floor turn warm.
