Boracite Grey Modern Washable Rug

The distressed edges keep it gentle and lived in, while the ivory opens the whole design up and makes a room feel lighter. It is a calm design with enough movement to hold your eye. Put it down and the room feels finished, warm and modern at once. In the living room, Boracite sits under a coffee table and pulls the sofa and chairs into one group

In the bedroom, it warms the floor at the foot of the bed, or runs along the side you step out on each morning. Under a dining table, the low pile lets chairs slide in and out without catching. By the front door it greets you at the entryway, and down a long hallway the soft grey and mauve carry your eye from one room to the next.

In a home office it sits under the desk and chair and softens the sound of a working day. In a kids' room it gives a soft place to build and play. It also works on a covered porch or in a sunroom, since this rug is made for indoors and outdoors alike. Choosing a size is simple once you picture the space

A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen, or the floor beside a bed, and it keeps a tight path warm underfoot. A larger rectangle works best in a living room when the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on it, which makes the seating feel like one room instead of pieces pushed to the wall. In a dining room, pick a rectangle wide enough for the table and for chairs to stay on the rug when people push back.

A smaller rectangle is right by a door, at a bedside, or in front of a reading chair. Measure your floor first, then choose from the sizes listed here. The design is printed with a high-quality digital print, so every soft edge in the watercolor stays sharp and the mauve, grey and ivory stay rich and clear You see the fine detail in the washes and the gentle grain in the distressed areas, not a blurry copy of them.

The pile is 6mm, about a quarter inch, so the surface is smooth and even and the pattern reads clearly from across the room. Underfoot it feels soft and flat, with no bulk to trip on and no thick edge to catch a toe. Cleaning is easy, which matters most in the rooms you actually use Boracite is machine washable, so when it needs a proper refresh it goes in the wash and comes back out ready.

For a fresh spill, wipe it or spot clean the area and carry on with your day. The rug does not shed and does not fuzz, so you will not find loose fibres gathering along the baseboards. It leaves no dust or fibres on the floor, which keeps vacuuming quick and keeps the air in the room feeling clean. Living with it is the easy part

The non-slip backing holds the rug in place, so it stays put when you walk across it and does not creep or bunch up. The low 6mm pile is low enough for a door to swing over it, so you can use it at an entryway, in a hallway or between rooms without lifting a door. The surface is soft to sit on and walk on barefoot, and the durable overlocked edge keeps the border neat and clean with no fringe to tangle.

It is pet and kid friendly, so it handles paws, toys and busy days, indoors and out on a covered porch.
