Damson Golden Mid-Century Machine Made Rug

Straight stripe blocks sit alongside the curves, and a plain cream border frames the whole design. The look is calm mid-century modern, the kind of floor that makes a sofa, a wooden chair and a simple lamp look like they were always meant to be together. The colours are easy to live with Golden yellow warms up grey, white and pale wood, while the ivory and cream keep it light instead of loud.

It works in a living room under a coffee table, in a bedroom beside the bed, in a hallway or entryway where you want a friendly welcome, and in a home office or dining space that needs a lift. If your walls are neutral, this rug becomes the colour in the room. If you already have colour, the cream border gives the eye somewhere to rest. It is machine woven on a power loom, so the pattern stays even and the surface holds its shape day after day

The pile is 7 mm, low and smooth, so doors and chairs pass over it with ease. The blend of 75% cotton and 25% polyester feels soft underfoot, and the edges are serged with fringe for a tidy finish. A non-slip backing helps it stay put in busy rooms.

Regular vacuuming and a quick spot clean with a damp cloth keep it looking fresh.
