Try it at homebefore you decide.
See the rug in your own light, on your own floor, with your own furniture, and only then decide.
Four steps, no hurry.

i.Choose
Walk the floor with us and pick the rug, or rugs, you want to live with.

ii.Take it home
Lay it in the room it is meant for, under your own furniture.

iii.Live with it
See it in morning and evening light, after a few days of walking on it.

iv.Decide
Keep the one that feels right. If none do, bring them back and we will look again.

“A rug looks different in every room.”
Light, wall colour, the floor and the furniture all change how its colours read. Seeing it in place is the surest way to know.

What to look forat home.
- i.Morning and eveningColours shift through the day: a rug that reads warm at night can look cooler in the morning.
- ii.Against the furnitureLay it where it will live, with the sofa or the table on it, and check the size.
- iii.BarefootWalk across it. Feel the pile, the weight and how it sits on your floor.
- iv.Side by sideChoosing between two or three? Try them in the same spot one after another.
- v.On a padA pad underneath keeps it from slipping while you decide.
