A bouquet sits in the middle of your floor. No one carried it in. Where did it come from? From the design. Sage leaves curl around terracotta blooms on warm cream, and charcoal and taupe hold the quiet edges. The garland spreads out like a table set for people you love. What does it say? It says calm, and welcome. Picture it in the living room under the coffee table, or in the bedroom at the foot of the bed. A runner rug can walk the length of a hallway. Will it hold up to real days? This washable rug is machine washable, cold and gentle, then tumble dry low or lay it flat. Blot a fresh spill and clean the spot with water. It is antiallergenic and antibacterial, with nothing loose at the ends for a paw to pull, so it is pet friendly. The non slip backing keeps it still. The low pile is 6 mm, so doors swing over it, and a soft middle layer makes it cushioned underfoot. It does not shed, and the edge is finished with a clean overlock stitch. The first picture shows the floral rug flat and on its own, so you see the colours before you see a room. Screens vary a little. Sizes come in feet, inches and centimetres, as an area rug and as a runner. Measure your floor first. A bare floor keeps a room unfinished. Wivenhoe warms it.
