Purslane Teal Boho Washable Rug

The stepped geometric pattern climbs and repeats like a flat-woven weave, so your eye travels along the rug instead of stopping at one spot. From a standing height the design reads as gentle movement. Up close you see every clean edge of every shape.

The colours are warm and cool at once, which is why Purslane sits happily with white walls, wood floors, rattan chairs, linen sofas and black metal frames. In the living room, lay it under the coffee table so the pattern fills the middle of the seating area and pulls the furniture together In the bedroom, put it at the foot of the bed for a soft landing, or run a long narrow piece down one side so your feet meet something warm each morning. In the dining room, slide it under the table and chairs, where the teal and camel hide the everyday traffic of family meals.

By the front door it makes a welcoming first step, and the 6mm pile is low enough that the door swings over it with room to spare. Down a hallway it breaks up a long plain stretch of floor. In a home office it softens the sound under a desk chair.

In a kids' room it gives a friendly floor for building and reading. 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 space beside a bed or the strip in front of a sink.

It guides you through a room and makes a tight space feel longer. A larger rectangle works best when the front legs of your sofa and chairs sit on it, because that ties the whole seating group together. Under a dining table, pick a rectangle wide enough that chairs stay on the rug when you pull them out.

A smaller rectangle is ideal by a door, at a bedside or under a reading chair. Measure your floor first, then choose from the sizes listed here. The pattern is put down with a high-quality digital print, so the teal stays deep, the camel stays warm and the ivory stays clean and bright Fine lines hold their shape and the stepped corners stay crisp instead of blurring into each other.

The 6mm low pile keeps the surface smooth and even, so the design reads clearly from across the room. Underfoot it feels flat and easy to walk on, with no bulky height to trip over and no rippling at the edges. Cleaning is the easy part The whole rug is machine washable, so a muddy afternoon or a spilled drink is not a problem.

For a fresh spill, wipe it or spot clean it right away and carry on with your day. When it needs a full refresh, wash it and put it back down. Purslane does not shed and does not fuzz.

It leaves no dust and no loose fibres on your floor, so you are not sweeping up after your rug or picking bits off socks and paws. Day to day, this rug stays where you put it The non-slip backing grips the floor, so it does not slide when children run across it or a pet takes a corner fast. The low pile clears most doors, which makes it a sensible choice for entryways and busy rooms.

The surface is soft, so sitting on the floor is comfortable. The edge is finished with a durable overlock, a clean bound edge with no fringe to catch a vacuum, a toe or a chair leg. Pet friendly and kid friendly, Purslane is built for a home that gets used.
