Tapison Home Doria Blue Rug

Imagine a well cut navy pinstripe laid across the floor and you have the essence of this rug in Blue. Fine navy lines follow the corded ribs of a natural wool base, quiet enough to read as texture from the doorway and crisp enough to reward a closer look. Each short end is finished with a plain woven border and a generous fall of cream fringe.

In an Edwardian semi, it brings a sense of order to a front room with white painted walls, a walnut sideboard and a pair of brass lamps. The navy picks up denim cushions and blue and white china without any fuss. A 180 x 280 cm piece slips neatly under a coffee table, 220 x 330 cm anchors a three seater with its chairs, and 280 x 380 cm covers a through lounge from the bay to the garden doors.

The construction is flat woven, the fibre 100% pure wool, the height about 10 mm. Because hands rather than machines do the work, you may notice slight shifts in tone or measurements, never beyond 5%. Underfloor heating poses no problem, and you can also have it made to measure on request. Run the vacuum over it regularly with the spinning brush disabled, blot spills at once with a dry cloth, and book a professional cleaner when it needs refreshing.
