Start with the pattern’s direction

The black strokes radiate from a dense off-centre area and expand into long ivory channels. Let that movement point toward the room’s main activity—usually the sofa, fireplace or table—rather than across a busy passage. Quiet upholstery and warm wood give the high-contrast pattern space to breathe.

View this rug and all size options

Choose a size from the furniture, not the empty floor

Measure the seating or bed footprint first. In a living room, aim for the front legs of the principal seats to meet the rug; in a bedroom, leave a useful visible border beyond the bed. Compare the listed dimensions on the product page with your own taped floor outline before ordering.

Read the wool at close range

The design depends on crisp black-and-ivory boundaries carried through a deep, irregular wool surface. The close view below is a styling illustration based on the exact product reference; it is useful for visualising pile and colour interaction, while the original photograph above remains the product record.

Practical check: rotate your taped outline by 90 degrees before deciding. Directional motifs can either lengthen a room or pull attention toward a sofa, bed or dining table.

Make it comfortable in daily use

Keep the most open ivory areas away from the busiest chair paths when possible, and use a suitable rug pad for stability. Vacuum gently with settings appropriate to a high pile and address spills according to the care guidance supplied with the rug.

Buying questions

Which size should I choose?

Use the product page’s verified size selector and compare each option with a taped outline. For seating groups, keeping at least the front legs on the rug usually makes the arrangement feel connected.

Can I request a different size?

For dimensions outside the listed selector, send the room measurements and desired orientation through the custom-size enquiry link before purchasing.

Will the colour look identical on every screen?

Screens and daylight vary. Use the original product photograph as the colour reference and view it on more than one device if colour matching is critical.
