Marmaris Cream Modern Machine Made Rug

There is no loud colour and no busy print. You simply see soft shadow and light shifting across the rug as you walk past it, the way good plaster or linen catches the sun. It makes a plain room feel finished and a busy room feel restful. The colours are cream, ivory and a whisper of light grey, so this rug sits happily with almost anything you already own

It works over pale wood, warm oak or grey tile. It softens white walls, and it gives dark furniture a light place to stand. Try it in the living room under a coffee table, at the foot of the bed, along a hallway, or by the front door where you want a clean welcome.

Because the pattern is tonal, you can layer in colour with cushions and art and nothing will fight. It is machine woven on a power loom, which keeps the weave even and the pattern crisp from edge to edge The 9 mm pile feels smooth and low underfoot, so chairs and doors move over it easily. Edges are finished with folded, serged and fringe detailing.

A non-slip backing helps it stay put in a home that is always moving. Vacuum it as part of your normal routine and it keeps looking neat.
