Pinfold Rose Traditional Washable Rug

Warm reds, dusty rose and gentle cream tones weave through the pattern, with fine vines and small blooms filling the space between the medallion and the edge. The design pulls the eye to the center of the floor, so furniture looks settled and the room feels finished. The cream ground keeps everything light, and the rose tones add warmth without shouting.

It sits happily with wood floors, white walls, painted furniture and leather or linen seating. In the living room, lay it under the coffee table so the medallion shows in the open space and the pattern frames your seating In the bedroom, a long narrow shape beside the bed gives you something soft to step onto, while a wider rug at the foot of the bed warms the whole floor. Under a dining table, the low pile lets chairs slide in and out without catching.

In an entryway it takes the first steps through the door and keeps the space looking tidy. Down a long hallway, the border leads you from room to room. In a home office it sits under a desk and quiets the room.

In a kids' room it gives them a soft place to play. On a covered porch or in a sunroom, it works just as well, because this rug is made for indoors and outdoors. Choosing a size is simple once you picture the room A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen, the side of a bed or the strip of floor in front of a sink.

A larger rectangle works best in a living room when the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on it, which ties the seating together. Under a dining set, pick a rectangle wide enough that chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. A smaller rectangle is right by a front door, a back door or in front of a favorite reading chair.

Measure the floor you want covered, then choose from the sizes listed here. The pattern comes from a high quality digital print, so the colour is rich and the lines stay sharp You can see the thin outlines of the medallion, the small flower shapes and the fine detail in the border, right down to the corners. The rose madder reads deep and warm rather than flat, and the cream stays clean and soft.

The pile is 6mm, about a quarter inch, so the surface is smooth and even underfoot with no bulk. It looks like a flat woven rug, close to the floor, and the print keeps its detail across the whole surface. Cleaning is where this rug earns its keep It is machine washable, so when it needs a proper refresh you can wash it and put it back down.

Day to day it is easy to clean. Wipe a fresh spill or spot clean it while it is still new, and move on with your day. It does not shed and it does not fuzz.

That means no dust and no loose fibres left behind on your floor, no grey halo along the edges and no vacuum full of fluff. For a dining room, an entryway or a kids' room, that is one less thing to think about. Living with it is easy The non-slip backing helps the rug stay put, so it does not slide when you walk across it or creep away from the wall in a hallway.

The low pile clears a door, which means an entry door, a bathroom door or a closet door can swing over it without sticking. The surface is soft underfoot, so bare feet and small knees are happy on it. A durable overlocked edge binds the rug all the way around for a clean finish with no fringe to tangle or trip on.

It suits homes with pets and children, and it stands up to the busiest paths in the house.
