Anglesite Ivory Washable Rug

The taupe spots warm it up. Fine charcoal outlines give each rosette its shape, so the pattern reads clearly from across the room and still looks calm up close. The spots scatter in an easy, all-over rhythm with no strong middle and no border, so the rug looks right from every side.

It is a pattern with personality that still plays well with wood, linen, leather and plain walls. In the living room, Anglesite sits under a coffee table and pulls the sofa and chairs into one group In the bedroom, it lands at the foot of the bed or runs along the side you step onto first thing in the morning. Under a dining table, the spotted ground hides the everyday traffic of chairs being pushed back and forth.

By the front door it greets shoes and bags in an entryway that gets used all day. Down a long hallway it softens footsteps and gives a plain corridor something to look at. In a home office it warms the floor under a desk and chair.

In a kids' room it takes toys, blocks and floor games. On a covered porch or in a sunroom it brings the same pattern outdoors, since this rug works indoors and outdoors. Choosing a size is simple once you picture the space A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen or the gap beside a bed, where you want a soft path and nothing more.

A larger rectangle works when you want the rug to hold the furniture together, with the front legs of the sofa and chairs resting on it, or with the whole dining set on top so chairs stay on the rug when they slide out. A smaller rectangle is the friendly one by a door, at the end of a bed or under a desk. Measure your floor first, then pick the listed size closest to the area you want covered. The pattern comes from a high-quality digital print, so the colour is rich and the detail stays sharp

Every rosette keeps its clean charcoal edge and the soft taupe centre, with no blurring and no muddy lines. The ivory stays bright next to the darker marks. The pile is 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface is flat and even and the print stays crisp across the whole rug.

Underfoot it feels smooth and soft, more like a fine woven surface than a deep shaggy one. Cleaning is where this rug earns its place It is machine washable, so a rug from a busy hallway or a kids' room can go in the wash and come back fresh. Day to day it is easy to clean.

A fresh spill can be wiped up or spot cleaned on the spot, which is good news under a dining table or in a home with a toddler and a full cup. It does not shed and it does not fuzz. It leaves no dust or loose fibres on the floor around it, so your clean floorboards stay clean and vacuuming stays quick. Living with Anglesite is easy

The non-slip backing helps the rug stay put, so it does not slide when you walk across it or step off the bed in a hurry. The 6mm low pile is thin enough for a door to swing over it, which makes it a good choice for entryways, bathroom doorways and busy rooms where doors open and close all day. The surface is soft to sit on and to walk on barefoot.

The overlocked edge is bound all the way round for a clean, neat finish, and there is no fringe to trip on or tangle. It is pet and kid friendly, so paws, socks and small feet are all welcome.
