Cream Rugs
Our cream rugs make a room feel lighter and warmer at the same time. Choose from 50 designs from £29: washed vintage and Persian-style patterns, boho abstracts, marble-effect rugs, and soft ivory faux fur and silky shaggy rugs. Many have a second colour woven in, such as cream & beige, cream & blue, cream & red or olive & cream, which helps hide everyday marks. Sizes include small rugs, hallway runners and living room sizes up to 200 x 300 cm, all with free UK mainland delivery and free 14-day returns.

Cream, ivory or beige: which light neutral?
Cream has a soft yellow or buttery base, so it feels warmer than white. Ivory is a little paler and cleaner. Beige is a shade or two deeper, with more brown in it. If you want brightness, choose cream or ivory; if the rug will take heavy foot traffic, a cream rug with a pattern, or a beige rug, will look fresher for longer.

Keeping a cream rug looking fresh
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, with the beater bar off for faux fur and shaggy rugs. Blot spills at once with a clean white cloth; do not rub. Spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent, and use a professional cleaner for a deeper clean. A rug underlay helps the rug stay put on hard floors, and turning the rug every few months helps it wear evenly.
Cream Rugs rugs: your questions answered
Is a cream rug a good idea in a busy home?
Yes, if you choose the right design. A washed vintage, distressed or two-tone cream rug hides crumbs and footprints far better than a plain one. Keep plain ivory faux fur and shaggy rugs for bedrooms and quieter rooms.
How do I clean a cream rug?
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, and turn off the beater bar for shaggy and faux fur rugs. Blot spills straight away, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent. Use a professional rug cleaner for a deeper clean.
What is the difference between cream and ivory?
Ivory is slightly paler and cooler, close to off-white. Cream has a warmer, buttery tone. Both are lighter than beige, which has more brown in it.
Do you sell fluffy or shaggy cream rugs?
Yes. Look for the Chalet Ivory Luxury Faux Fur Rug, the Cosset Ivory Faux Fur Rug and the Feather Ivory Silky Shaggy Rug. They suit bedrooms and cosy living rooms.
What size cream rug do I need for my living room?
For most living rooms, 160 x 230 cm sits under the coffee table with the front legs of the sofa on the rug. Larger rooms suit 200 x 290 or 200 x 300 cm, and smaller rooms 120 x 170 or 150 x 200 cm.
Are your traditional cream rugs genuine Persian rugs?
No. Our Persian and oriental designs are Persian-style: machine-made reproductions of traditional medallion and tribal patterns. That keeps the price from £29 rather than the cost of an antique.
How much is delivery, and can I return a cream rug?
Delivery is free to UK addresses on every cream rug. Cream shades look different in different light, so you have free 14-day returns to check it in your own room.
