TREND ALERT: Framed rugs

The rug trend making a statement right now? Framed edges.

A contrasting border adds definition to a room, creating a more polished finish while giving your rug a stronger presence within the space. From subtle tonal borders to bold contrasts, it’s an easy way to make a rug feel more architectural and thought out.

A small detail that can completely change the look of a room.

Pattern can transform a room, but getting it right is all about balance.

From stripes and herringbone to subtle woven textures and statement borders, there are plenty of ways to introduce pattern through carpets, rugs and runners without letting it overwhelm your space.

Our latest blog explores how to choose patterns, combine them with confidence and use flooring to build a room feels confident and a reflection of your style.

What does it mean to create floor coverings with the planet in mind?

For us, it starts with natural materials, but it doesn’t stop there.

From responsibly sourced fibres and more considered packaging to supporting the people behind every carpet, rug and runner, our Planet Pledge is about looking at the bigger picture.

Through our partnership with Ecologi, we’re also helping to restore forests and support environmental projects around the world. So far, we’ve funded **41,684 trees** and counting.

Because beautiful flooring should be made to last, and so should the planet we live on.

Let the texture do the talking.

Flat and forgettable? Never.

Texture is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel richer and more inviting, whether that’s the soft, natural feel of wool, the distinctive weave of sisal or the organic variation of a natural fibre.

The beauty is in the details: the way light catches a pattern, the contrast between materials and the feeling you get when you step into the room.

The best interiors don’t just look good, they feel good too.

Textile floor coverings bring warmth underfoot, softens sound and add a layer of comfort that hard flooring cannot replicate. From creating quieter spaces to adding texture and depth, it’s a design choice that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

We said “just have a look”.
The rug said otherwise.

When it comes to choosing a rug, texture and feel matter just as much as appearance. Sometimes it’s only when you see and feel the craftsmanship for yourself that you know you’ve found the one.

What draws you to a rug first: the colour, the pattern or the texture?

The larger the space, the more important the floor becomes.

In open-plan interiors, flooring is often the only surface that connects every zone. Choosing a natural material with subtle texture creates continuity without competing with the architecture.

You’ve found the perfect bathroom rug.

The one that adds colour, texture and personality to your space while making those first steps out of the shower a little more comfortable... because bathrooms deserve just as much comfort as every other room in the home.

Any good interior designer knows you should invest in pieces that earn their place, so why shouldn’t pattern do the same?

A diamond motif changes how a room is seen, it brings definition to open-plan layouts, and creates enough detail that a room feels complete without relying on excessive colour or accessories.
