Olivine Navy Washable Rug

Deep navy anchors the corners. Soft ivory opens the pattern up and keeps it light. Warm gold threads through the small medallions, borders and tiny flower shapes, catching the light as you walk past.

Every block carries its own motif, so your eye moves across the floor instead of stopping in one place. The colours look gently washed and faded, like a piece that has been loved for years, yet the print is new and sharp. Seen from the doorway, the blocks line up like a quilt laid on the floor.

In a plain room it becomes the main event. In a busy room it pulls the furniture together. In the living room, lay it under the coffee table and let the navy blocks frame the seating In the bedroom, it sits at the foot of the bed and gives you a soft landing in the morning.

Under a dining table, the mix of ivory and gold hides the normal traffic of daily meals and keeps the chairs moving easily. In an entryway it greets people at the door and marks the spot where shoes come off. Down a long hallway, the row of patchwork blocks leads the eye from one end to the other.

A runner in the kitchen gives you a softer place to stand while you cook. In a home office it warms the floor under a desk and chair. In a kids' room the small motifs give them something to look at during play.

On a covered porch or in a sunroom it works just as well, because this rug is happy indoors and outdoors. Choosing a size is simple A long narrow runner suits a hallway, a galley kitchen or the strip of floor beside a bed, where it covers the path your feet take every day. It also works down the length of an entry hall.

A larger rectangle belongs in a living room, where it should reach far enough to sit under the front legs of the sofa and the chairs, which ties the whole group together. Under a dining set, pick a rectangle big enough that the chairs stay on the rug when people pull them out. A smaller rectangle is right by a door, at a kitchen sink or beside a crib.

Measure your floor first, then pick from the sizes listed here. The design is printed with a high-quality digital print, so the colour is rich and the lines stay sharp Up close you can see the fine cracks and speckles in the faded blocks, the thin gold outlines and the small shifts of navy from one square to the next. The faded look is printed into the design, not worn into it.

Nothing looks blurry or flat. The pile is 6mm, about a quarter of an inch, so the surface stays low and smooth and the pattern reads clearly from across the room. Low pile also means furniture sits steady on top and the rug lies flat from the first day. Cleaning is easy, which matters on a floor that people actually use

The rug is machine washable, so when it needs a full refresh you can wash it and put it back down. A fresh spill only needs a wipe or a quick spot clean with a cloth. Day to day, vacuum it or shake it out.

Pet hair lifts off with a vacuum instead of working into the pile. It does not shed and it does not fuzz, so you will not find loose fibres along the baseboards or a grey line of dust where the rug meets the floor. Dark socks stay clean. Living with Olivine is low effort

The non-slip backing keeps it in place, so it does not slide when you step on it or creep across the floor over a week. The 6mm pile is low enough for a door to swing over it, which makes it a good choice for entryways, bathrooms, doorways and other busy areas. The surface is ultra soft, so bare feet and crawling babies are comfortable on it.

The edge is finished with a durable overlock, a clean bound edge that holds its shape and keeps the corners neat. It is pet and kid friendly, so the dog, the toddler and the dinner guests can all share it.
