Ferberite Ivory Traditional Washable Rug

The traditional medallion and vine work spreads out across the floor in one gentle tone, so the design reads as texture and light rather than loud colour. Step back and you see a quiet green rug with depth. Step closer and the fine scrollwork, borders and small blossoms come into view.

The single overdyed colour makes it easy to live with, because it works next to white walls, wood furniture, black metal and green plants without fighting any of them. In the living room, Ferberite sits under a coffee table and pulls the sofa and chairs into one warm group In the bedroom, place it at the foot of the bed so your feet land on something soft each morning. In the dining room, it sits under the table and chairs and keeps the space feeling finished.

By the front door it takes the first steps of the day, and down a long hallway it carries the eye from one room to the next. In a home office it softens the sound under a desk chair. In a kids' room it gives a comfortable spot for floor play and building blocks.

Because it works outdoors too, it also suits a covered porch, a sunroom, a balcony or a screened patio. Sizing is simple once you picture the room A long narrow runner fits a hallway, a galley kitchen, a mudroom or the side of a bed, and it guides your steps in a straight line. A larger rectangle works when you want the rug to anchor furniture.

Slide it under the front legs of the sofa so the seating feels connected, or choose one big enough to hold a dining table with the chairs still on the rug when you pull them out. A smaller rectangle is the friendly choice by a door, in front of the kitchen sink or beside a reading chair. Measure your floor first, then pick from the sizes listed here. The pattern is put down with a high-quality digital print, so the colour stays rich and the detail stays sharp

Thin vine lines, the fine border and the tiny flower centres all hold their shape instead of blurring into the background. The celadon keeps its cool green tone and the rust stays warm beside it. The pile is a low 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface looks smooth and neat and the pattern reads clearly from across the room.

Underfoot it feels flat, even and easy to walk on, with no bulky edges to trip over. Cleaning is straightforward The rug is machine washable, so a rug that has seen muddy boots or a spilled bowl of cereal can go in the wash and come back fresh. Day to day it is easy to clean.

Wipe a fresh spill right away with a damp cloth, or spot clean a small mark and let it dry. It does not shed and it does not fuzz, so you are not chasing loose fibres around the room. It leaves no dust or fibre bits on the floor, which is a relief under a dining table, in a nursery or anywhere with dark floorboards. Living with Ferberite is easy

The non-slip backing helps it stay where you put it, so it does not slide when you walk across it or push a chair back. The low 6mm pile is thin enough for a door to swing over it, which makes it a good fit for entryways, bathroom doorways, closets and busy rooms. The surface is ultra soft, so sitting on the floor with a book or a toddler feels good.

A durable overlocked edge binds the rug all the way around for a clean finish with no fringe to catch. Washable, soft and steady underfoot, it suits homes with pets and children.
