Breakfast is late, the toddler is pushing a toy car along the floor and somebody's mug of tea is balanced on the edge of the coffee table. A blue rug with a faded vintage look takes that sort of morning in its stride.

What goes into the blue Living rug

Its short pile is 85% polypropylene and 15% polyester, woven by machine in Turkey on a jute backing. Machine weaving keeps the lines crisp and the pattern even, while the worn vintage effect comes purely from the design. Synthetic fibre hardly takes up moisture, which is one reason synthetic fibre rugs like this one turn up in kitchens.

Blue Living rug for kitchen, lounge or kids' room

As a kitchen rug it goes in front of the cooker or under a small table. Lounges take the blue easily too, among our living room rugs, and children's rooms and dining rooms suit it as well. Being a low pile rug, it also lies flat over underfloor heating. Use our sizing tips to pick from the several sizes.

Keeping the blue Living rug neat

Our page on how to clean your rug treats short synthetic pile simply, and a vacuum with a brush head is fine on it. If table legs leave dents, brush the pile back up. The jacquard weave gives the pattern its sharp lines.
