Graphic Patterns

The options for vibrant rugs are endless, from a modern abstract motif to a classic Paul Smith design. Rugs that combine complementary tones make a striking statement and allow you to keep your wall treatments and furniture simple. 

New traditional

Add detail to a space with an over-dyed Persian rug for a distressed, vintage look that is on trend. Choose a rug in a wool-and-silk blend that combines the softness and durability of wool with the glamour of silk.

Neutrals

Choose carpet in a neutral shade creates the perfect base on which to offset colourful furniture and accessories. Choose an animal hide for an African theme or keep it simple with textured rugs and carpets in wool, sisal or silk.
