Collection: White Rugs

A white rug brightens a room instantly and makes it feel larger and more open. It works as a calm canvas that lets furniture, textiles and art stand out, while adding softness and texture underfoot. It pairs with almost any palette, from bold colour to soft neutrals.

Styles of white rug

White shaggy and high pile rugs bring texture and comfort to bedrooms and living rooms. White wool and natural fibre rugs in wool, cotton or jute feel warm and organic and last for years. White flatweaves are low pile and easy to keep clean, a practical choice for hallways, kitchens and dining rooms. White viscose and silk effect rugs have a subtle sheen that catches the light; they are delicate and best kept for quieter rooms such as a bedroom.

Choosing the right white rug

In a living room, choose a size that fits under at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs to anchor the seating. In a bedroom, let the rug extend at least 30 cm beyond each side of the bed. White shows marks more easily than darker colours, so where traffic is high a flatweave or a rug with texture or a subtle pattern is the sensible choice. Wool is durable and naturally resists stains, which makes it the best white for busy households.
