Tapison Home Doria Beige Rug

Some rooms ask for colour, others simply ask for calm, and this rug in Beige answers the second kind. Doria is a flat weave of pure wool in natural sand and oatmeal, raked with fine vertical ribs that give the surface a corded, almost tailored feel. A plain woven band closes each short end before long cream fringes spill out, and the overall look is layered yet restrained.

Picture it in a Georgian townhouse, where tall sash windows wash the floor with pale morning light and the ribs pick up every passing shadow. Linen curtains, a velvet sofa in mushroom and a few ceramics on the mantelpiece are all the company it needs. Choose 180 x 280 cm to gather two armchairs around a fireplace, 220 x 330 cm for a full sitting room arrangement, or 280 x 380 cm when the drawing room is properly grand.

Handmade from 100% wool, it stands roughly 10 mm tall and sits happily over underfloor heating. Each piece may differ slightly in shade and in size, within a tolerance of 5%. Should your room call for other dimensions, it can be made to measure. To care for it, vacuum often with the rotating brush turned off, dab any spill straight away using a dry cloth, and trust a specialist for a thorough clean.
