Tansy Grey Scandinavian Machine Made Rug

The look is calm and simple, the kind of floor that lets a linen sofa, a wooden bench or a pair of soft chairs do the talking. Put it down and the room feels tidier right away. Grey, cream, charcoal and white sit easily with almost everything you already own They work with white walls, warm oak, black metal and pale wood, and they keep their cool next to greenery or a stack of books.

Try it under a coffee table in the living room, at the foot of the bed, along a hallway, or just inside the door where shoes come off. In a bedroom it softens the first step of the morning. In a dining space it holds the table in place without fighting the chairs. The rug is machine woven on a power loom, so the stripes stay straight and the surface stays even from corner to corner

The edges are serged for a neat, finished border. Made from a cotton and polyester blend, it sits close and flat, so doors swing clear and chairs slide without a catch. A non-slip backing keeps it settled in a busy home.

Vacuum it as part of your normal routine and it keeps looking crisp.
