A leopard seems to have passed through the room and left only its spots behind. Soft dove grey, charcoal, cream and taupe, with a faint gold warmth. What do the spots say when the room goes quiet? They say ease. The worn, faded look is part of the design. Each rosette sits apart from the next, so the floor feels open rather than busy. Where does an animal print rug like this belong? Under the coffee table in the living room. At the foot of a bed. A runner rug down a long hallway, or beside the bed in a bedroom. The low pile is flat, so doors swing over it, and a soft middle layer makes it cushioned underfoot. Will it slide? No. The non slip backing grips the floor. The edge is stitched closed, so nothing catches a toe. It does not shed, so no fuzz ends up on your floor. It is pet friendly, antiallergenic and antibacterial, and it is a washable rug: machine washable cold on a gentle cycle, then dry flat. Blot a fresh spill and clean it with water. Sizes come in feet and inches and in centimetres, as an area rug and as a runner. Measure your floor and mark it with tape. The first picture shows the design flat and on its own, so you see the colours first. A bare floor stays cold, and the room keeps feeling unfinished. Let Sudeley settle there instead.
