Cistus Teal Modern Washable Rug

A thin minimalist border frames the whole field and draws a calm line around your furniture. From across the room it reads as one rich green pool of colour. Up close you see the quiet shifts of tone that give it depth. In the living room it grounds a sofa and coffee table, and the dark green cools down a bright room full of sun

In the bedroom it softens the first step out of bed in the morning. Under a dining table the deep tone hides the everyday traffic of family meals, and the low pile lets chairs slide in and out without catching. By the front door it catches shoes and muddy paws in an entryway that takes a beating.

Down a hallway it makes a long, narrow walk feel finished instead of bare. In a home office it quiets the sound under a desk chair. In a kids' room it gives a soft place to sit and build.

On a covered porch or in a sunroom it works just as well, because this rug is happy indoors and outdoors. Size is the part people get wrong, so keep it simple A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen, the side of a bed or the strip in front of a sink. A larger rectangle belongs in a living room, where the front legs of your sofa and chairs should sit on it so the seating feels like one group.

Under a dining table, pick a rectangle wide enough that chairs stay on the rug when people push back. A smaller rectangle works by a door, at the end of a bed or under a desk. Measure your space first, then choose from the sizes listed. The design is printed with a high-quality digital print, so the emerald, teal and ink tones come out sharp and rich

The fine border line stays crisp and the abrash shading keeps its soft edges instead of blurring. The pile is 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface stays low and neat and the pattern reads clearly from standing height. Underfoot it feels smooth and even, with no bulk to trip over. Cleaning is easy, which matters most in a green rug that lives in a busy room

It is machine washable, so a muddy week does not turn into a project. For a fresh spill, wipe it or spot clean it and carry on with your day. The rug does not shed and does not fuzz, so you will not find loose fibres along the baseboards or dust on your hard floors.

Your vacuum and your broom both have less to do. Day to day, the non-slip backing keeps the rug where you put it, so it does not slide when you walk across it or creep away from the sofa The low 6mm pile clears most doors, so you can lay it in an entryway or a bathroom doorway and still swing the door over it. The surface is ultra soft, good for bare feet and for sitting on the floor.

A durable overlocked edge binds all four sides with a clean finish and no fringe to tangle. It is a sound, easy choice for homes with pets and children.
