What makes a textured rug?

A textured rug uses the surface of the pile, not only colour, to create its design. Some patterns are carved into the pile so shapes stand proud; others mix shiny raised areas with a matte ground, or wash and distress the surface so it looks softly worn. The result is depth: a plain colour looks richer, and a neutral room gains interest without a busy print. Texture also catches side light from windows and lamps, so the rug looks different through the day.

Cream, beige and grey textured rugs

Texture shows best in calm colours, which is why so many of our textured designs come in cream, natural and grey. A cream textured rug such as Hush Muslin or Lustre Moonstone brightens a dark floor and lets the surface do the talking. Natural and beige Etch and Belgravia designs bring warmth to oak floors and linen sofas, while grey Etch and Sculpt rugs sit easily with charcoal and white. For colour and texture together, Sculpt comes in blush pink, mustard, navy and red.

Textured rugs suit layering, too. A carved Sculpt rug in front of a sofa, or a Hush rug beside the bed, adds softness to a room that already has a large flat rug.

Caring for a textured rug

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a beater bar or rotating brush, which can flatten carved edges and pull at raised areas. On Sculpt and other shaggy textures, use a suction-only head. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent, working gently with the direction of the pile. A rug underlay on hard floors helps the rug lie flat so the texture stays even.

Textured Rugs rugs: your questions answered

What is a textured rug?

A textured rug creates its design through the surface of the pile: carved shapes, raised shiny areas, embossed lines or a washed, distressed finish. It adds depth and interest to a room without relying on a bold print.

Which textured rug is softest underfoot?

Sculpt is the softest of our textured ranges, with a glossy, silky shag and carved 3D shapes. For a flatter feel that sits neatly under furniture, choose Etch or Hush.

Do you have cream textured rugs?

Yes. Look at Hush Muslin Cream, the cream Lustre designs, and the natural and beige options in Etch and Belgravia. Sculpt also comes in natural beige and natural brown.

What size textured rug do I need?

For most living rooms, 160 x 225 or 160 x 230 cm lets the front legs of the sofa sit on the rug, and 200 x 290 or 200 x 300 cm suits larger rooms. Bedsides suit 60 x 110 or 80 x 150 cm, and hallways a 60 x 225 or 80 x 300 cm runner.

Are textured rugs hard to clean?

Not if you avoid a beater bar. Vacuum on a low setting, using a suction-only head on carved and shaggy designs, and blot spills straight away before spot cleaning with cold water and mild detergent. Use a professional cleaner for a deep clean.

What are your textured rugs made from?

Most are polyester, with a small number of jute designs. Each product page lists the material for that rug.

How much is delivery, and can I return my rug?

Delivery is free to UK addresses. If the texture or colour is not what you expected once it is in your room, you have free 14-day returns.
