Pellitory Sage Washable Rug

The green tones keep the pattern calm, so it reads as texture from across the room and as a clear leopard print up close. The spots run edge to edge with no border, which makes the floor feel wider and adds movement to a quiet room. It sits happily with wood, tile, linen, leather and plants, and it warms up plain white walls. In the living room, set it under a coffee table so the spots fill the space between the sofa and the chairs

In the bedroom, lay it at the foot of the bed for a soft place to sit and put on shoes, or run one down the side you step out of each morning. Under a dining table, the busy pattern hides the crumbs that come with family meals. By the front door, it catches grit from shoes in the entryway.

Down a long hallway, the rosettes pull your eye forward and break up bare floor. In a home office, it softens the sound under a desk chair. In a kids' room, it takes toy traffic and floor games.

On a covered porch or in a sunroom, it works outdoors too, so the same print can carry from your living room to your seating area outside. Choosing a size is simple once you picture the shape of the space A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen, the space beside a bed or the strip in front of a sink. A larger rectangle works best when the front legs of your sofa and chairs sit on it, which ties the seating together.

Under a dining set, pick a rectangle wide enough that chairs stay on the rug when you pull them out. A smaller rectangle is right by a door, at the end of a bed or under a desk. Measure your floor first, then choose from the sizes listed here. The pattern is printed with a high-quality digital print, so the colour is rich and the detail stays sharp

Each rosette keeps its broken ring shape and its soft edge, and the sage and olive tones stay clean against the cream instead of blurring together. The pile is 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface is low, smooth and even. Nothing bunches underfoot.

You see the print, not a shaggy texture. Cleaning is easy, and that is the best part of living with a light cream ground The rug is machine washable, so a muddy paw print or a spilled drink is a wash away, not a problem. For a fresh spill, wipe or spot clean it on the spot and carry on with your day.

It does not shed and it does not fuzz, so you will not find loose fibres along the skirting board or dust gathering at the edges. Your floor stays clean around the rug as well as under it. Day to day, this rug stays put and stays comfortable The non-slip backing grips the floor, so it does not slide when you walk across it or push a chair back.

The low pile clears a swinging door, which makes it a good choice for an entryway, a bathroom doorway or a busy kitchen. The surface is soft underfoot, warm enough for bare feet in the morning and for children sitting on the floor. The overlocked edge is bound and clean finished all the way around, with no fringe to catch a toe or a vacuum.

It suits homes with pets and children, indoors and out.
