What kind of rugs do we have?
Our range of rugs is constantly growing. We continue to source unique rugs with different styles, features & benefits. Our collection includes natural fibre rugs, machine-made synthetic rugs & machine-washable rugs. Depending on the features of the rug, our rugs are suitable for domestic or commercial use. For example, our low pile polypropylene rugs can handle heavy traffic & therefore, are suitable for heavy foot traffic in an office environment, whilst a wool rug that will shed may not be as suitable in an office environment with frequent foot traffic.

What should I consider when choosing a rug size?
What should I consider when choosing a rug size?
When choosing your rug size, mark out your desired size with masking tape to get a visual representation of what size rug is suitable. Buying a rug online without measuring the space first can often lead to a rug being required to be returned.
How do I choose the right rug material?
How do I choose the right rug material?
Natural fibre rugs have many great benefits that include: natural heat retention & natural air humidifying. When deciding what rug material to choose, note that natural fibre rugs will shed. Over-vacuuming natural fibre rugs will cause more shedding. Consider the area where the rug is being placed & how the rug will be used. For example, if you want a rug that is low maintenance & can deal well with spills & pets, you may consider our range of non-shed, stain-resistant & easy to vacuum low pile polypropylene rugs.
