Tapison Home Fiora Blue Rug

Grey blue with tiny flecks of sand, this rug brings to mind a wide sky over a beach in Cornwall. The high pile is full and soft, and the wool and Tencel fibres give it a refined texture with a sheen that brightens at noon and mellows by dusk.

Unsurprisingly, it is at home in a seaside cottage in Cornwall, with whitewashed walls, pale wood and a rust coloured throw on the sofa, yet it is equally calm in a busy family living room. Choose 180 x 280 cm for a bedroom, 220 x 330 cm or 280 x 380 cm for the lounge, and Ø 250 cm for a round rug under a breakfast table or in a play corner.

Woven in a blend of 95% wool and 5% Tencel, with a 35 mm pile, it suits underfloor heating. As each rug is made by hand, size and colour may vary slightly, by up to 5%. Made to measure is also available. Fresh wool sheds a little at the start, so give it the odd shake outdoors. Keep the rotating brush out of it when vacuuming, dab spills with a dry cloth, and turn to a professional cleaner for anything more.
