Narrows2 Rose Traditional Washable Rug

The colours are rose madder and soft cream, so the deep rose reads rich and calm while the cream keeps the whole design light. The pattern draws the eye to the center of the room, then the border holds everything together like a picture frame. It looks like a rug that has been loved for years, with colour that is crisp and clean. In the living room, lay it under the coffee table so the medallion shows in the open space between seats

In the bedroom, put it at the foot of the bed for a soft place to stand in the morning, or run a long narrow shape down one side of the bed. Under a dining table it gives the chairs a defined space to sit in. By the front door it greets guests and marks the entryway.

Down a long hallway, the border guides your eye from one end to the other. In a home office it warms the floor under a desk chair. In a kids' room it gives them a soft spot to play.

And because it works outdoors too, it is at home on a covered porch, in a sunroom, or under a patio table. Choosing a size is simple A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen, the space beside a bed, or the strip of floor just inside a door. A larger rectangle works best when the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on it, which pulls the seating group together.

Under a dining table, pick a rectangle wide enough that chairs stay on the rug when guests pull them out. A smaller rectangle is perfect by a door, in front of a sink, or beside a reading chair. Measure your floor first, then choose from the sizes listed here. The design is printed with a high-quality digital print, so the colour is deep and the detail stays sharp

The fine lines in the medallion and the small motifs in the border stay clear instead of blurring together. Rose madder stays rich against the cream ground, with no muddy edges. The pile is 6mm, about a quarter inch, so the surface sits low and flat and the pattern reads clearly from across the room.

Underfoot it feels smooth and even, with no bulk to trip over. Cleaning is easy, and that is the part people love most The rug is machine washable, so when it needs a proper refresh you can wash it and put it back down. For a fresh spill, wipe it up or spot clean the area and carry on with your day.

There is no special routine to learn. It does not shed and it does not fuzz, so you will not find loose fibres along the baseboards or dust gathering under the furniture. Your floor stays clean around the rug, not covered in bits from it. Day to day, it simply stays put and stays comfortable

The non-slip backing grips the floor so the rug does not slide or bunch when someone walks across it quickly. The low 6mm pile is thin enough for a door to swing over it, which makes it a smart choice for entryways, bathrooms, doorways and busy rooms. The surface is ultra soft, so bare feet and small knees are happy on it.

The overlocked edge is bound and clean finished all the way around, so it lies flat and holds its shape. With pets and children in the house, a rug that washes, stays in place and sheds nothing is one less thing to worry about.
