This rug is all about combining a subtle design with a suitable material. The quatrefoil pattern on this rug will introduce a pattern of transitional style into your home. The blocky shapes and beige tones keep it from being too loud, and a few reviewers have mentioned that they use it to lift neutrally decorated rooms. Cotton itself is very durable and, combined with synthetic fibers, should give you a healthy lifespan. Its light coloring may not make it the best choice if it is guaranteed to be in the hazardous area of potential spills and staining substances.
This wool rug brings timeless style to the table. Its pattern and color are classic and, combined with curtains or cushions, will enhance a living room and bring a level of dynamism to the room. Made from 100% wool, it is very durable and will also hold up well as a hearth rug, as the material is naturally fire retardant. If you have a house full of kids, the deep, rustic red will do a good job of hiding minor stains, and the wool itself is easy to clean. The only thing to note is that John Lewis recommends a rug outfit, as the coloring can transfer to light floors.
If you like bright interiors, this rug should do the trick. Largely beige with interwoven flecks of blue, the color this rug brings to the room is subtle. Mix in with neutral or gray ombre decor and the room should feel co-ordinated. Made from polypropylene, it is wear and stain resistant, and is strong and durable, making it a great choice for high traffic areas. Reviewers seem to like the style of the rug, but when designed to sit against the floor, some recommend a rug grip and the corners may take a while to flatten out.
