Corrie Cream Modern Machine Made Rug

The distressed finish gives it a lived-in, gallery-like feel, so a plain sofa or a simple bed frame suddenly looks considered. It is calm from a distance and full of detail up close. The cream, grey, charcoal, black and white palette is easy to live with It sits well with white walls, warm wood, black metal and soft linen, and it holds its own next to bolder colour too.

Use it in a living room under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed, in a home office, or in a hallway or entryway where you want a clean welcome. Neutral tones like these help a small room feel more open and give a large room a clear centre. This rug is machine woven on a power loom, which keeps the pattern crisp and the surface even from edge to edge The 8 mm pile feels smooth underfoot and lets chairs and doors pass over it with ease.

Edges are finished with fringe, serging and folding for a tidy line, and a non-slip backing helps it stay put in a busy home. Vacuum as usual to keep it looking fresh.
