Each rug is created to elevate any space, whilst the variety of designs means there is a suitable match for every type of dwelling and personal style – from colourful to neutral, abstract to linear, as well as styles such as Persian, vintage, Moroccan, midcentury, bohemian, modern Australian and floral.
