Kimberlite Teal Washable Rug

Every flower has a painted look, with brushed edges and a little movement in each petal. Across the floor the branches stretch and lean, so the room feels calmer and wider. Teal gives the design its cool note, cream keeps the whole thing light, and taupe ties it to wood floors, linen sofas and warm wall paint.

It is a floral that stays gentle, so it works with the furniture you already own. The painted feel carries from one corner to the other, so the floor looks like one piece of art. In the living room, set it under the coffee table so the branch pattern shows around the edges of the seating In the bedroom, lay it at the foot of the bed for a soft place to stand each morning.

Under a dining table it holds the chairs and keeps the floor quiet when someone pulls a seat back. In an entryway it greets people at the door with teal and cream. Down a long hallway it breaks up the walk and adds colour where there is usually none.

In a home office it warms the floor under a desk chair. In a kids' room it gives them a soft spot to build and play. On a covered porch or in a sunroom it works just as well, because this rug is made for indoors and outdoors.

A porch chair set sits well on top of it. Think about the shape of your space first A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen or the side of a bed, where it covers the path you walk most. Two runners, one on each side of a bed, give a matched look in a larger bedroom.

A rectangle works better in open rooms. A larger rectangle can sit under the front legs of a sofa and chairs, which pulls the seating together into one group. Under a dining set, choose a rectangle big enough that the chairs stay on the rug when they are pushed back.

A smaller rectangle is right by a door, in front of the sink or at the end of a bed. Leave a little floor showing around the rug so the room still looks open. Measure your floor first, then pick from the sizes listed on this page. The pattern is printed with a high-quality digital print, so the colour is sharp and rich

Fine lines in the branches stay crisp, and the teal shifts from deep to pale across a single leaf the way paint does. Up close you can see the soft edge where cream meets taupe. Teal, cream and taupe stay true across the whole piece, side to side.

The pile is 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface stays flat and even. Nothing bunches underfoot, and the print reads clearly from standing height instead of sinking into deep yarn. The low pile also means the design stays sharp in busy rooms where people walk every day. Cleaning is simple

The rug is machine washable, so a muddy paw print or a spilled cup of juice is not a problem. For a fresh spill, blot it right away and wipe the spot with a damp cloth. For anything bigger, roll the rug up and wash it, then lay it flat to dry.

The washing machine does the work, not you. It is easy to clean week to week as well. A quick vacuum or a shake outside lifts crumbs off the low pile.

Best of all, this rug does not shed and does not fuzz. It leaves no dust and no loose fibres on the floor around it, so the edge of the rug stays clean and so does the wood or tile beside it. Day to day, the non-slip backing keeps the rug where you put it, so it does not slide when you step on it or push a chair The 6mm pile is low enough for a door to swing over it, which makes it a good choice right inside an entry or a bathroom door.

The surface is soft, so bare feet and small knees are happy on it. The edge is finished with a durable overlock, a clean bound edge that holds its shape and has no fringe to catch a vacuum or a toe. Pets and children are welcome on it.

This is a rug you can live on, not one you have to protect.
