Leaf Rugs

Two botanical designs, four colours

Both designs share the same sisal-look, two-tone flatweave, which gives every leaf rug a natural, woven texture rather than a printed look. Pick the pattern first, then the colour that suits your paving, decking or floor.

Colour tips: aqua feels fresh against pale stone and white walls; terracotta warms up grey paving and sits well with potted plants; taupe is the most natural, blending with wood decking and rattan; black gives a crisp, graphic edge and hides dirt well on a busy patio.

Leaf rug sizes for outdoors and in

For an outdoor dining set, choose a rug large enough for the chairs to stay on it when pulled out; 200 x 290 cm suits most six-seat tables. Measure your space and mark the outline before you order.

Using a tropical rug indoors

Because Alfresco rugs are flatweaves designed for outdoor use, they also make practical indoor outdoor rugs for rooms that see muddy boots and garden traffic. A tropical leaf rug suits a kitchen, utility room, conservatory or garden room, where it links the inside of the house with the garden. Pair it with natural wood, cane and plenty of plants.

Looking after an outdoor leaf rug

• Shake or sweep the rug regularly to remove leaves, grit and soil.
• Spot clean marks with a soft brush, cold water and a little mild detergent, then let the rug dry fully, flat or over a rail, before rolling it.
• Bring the rug in during long spells of wet or wintry weather, and store it clean and dry.
• Lift it now and then so the patio or deck underneath can dry out too.
