From the hallway, the floor looks like one soft colour. Step closer and a pattern rises out of it, then sinks away. What is it doing? One quiet tone washes over this traditional rug, so the medallion fades in and out. Dusty greyed rose meets warm taupe, with ivory, charcoal and muted olive underneath. The faded look is part of the design. From the door it reads almost like a solid colour rug. So what does it say up close? It says rest. It says this room has roots and is still growing. Picture your family on it, cups on the table, nobody rushing. How does it live with real feet and paws? The low pile is 6 mm, so doors swing over it, and a soft middle layer makes it kind underfoot. The non slip backing holds it in place. It does not shed, and the edge is finished with an overlock stitch. Mess happens. Blot a fresh spill and clean it with water. It is a washable rug, machine washable cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or lay it flat. Antiallergenic and antibacterial, so it is pet friendly and fine with children. Until then the floor stays cold and the room stays unfinished. Choose Eastbridge as an area rug for a living room or bedroom, or a runner rug for a hallway. Measure first. Sizes are in feet, inches and centimetres.
