Tapison Home Fiora Taupe Rug

Taupe is the shade interiors people reach for when they want warmth without fuss, and this high pile rug proves the point. Its warm grey brown is a melange, with flecks you only see up close, while from across the room it reads as one calm tone. Fine fibres lend the 35 mm pile a soft sheen that changes with the light.

Imagine it in a loft in a converted warehouse, softening concrete and steel next to a bouclé armchair, matte black lamps and a long oak table. Lay 180 x 280 cm in a bedroom, 220 x 330 cm under a corner sofa, and 280 x 380 cm across a wide living zone. The round Ø 250 cm is lovely in a reading nook or under a circular dining table.

The blend is 95% wool and 5% Tencel. Being made by hand, it can vary a touch in shade and size, never by more than 5%, and it is comfortable over underfloor heating. If none of the standard sizes fit, ask for it made to measure. New wool sheds a little in the first weeks, so shake it out now and then. Vacuum regularly without the rotating brush, blot spills using a dry cloth, and have it professionally cleaned when needed.
