Padding across the floor in bare feet on a Sunday morning is a lot nicer when something this deep is waiting. The Breeze in light blue is a shaggy rug with a pale, airy colour, a sort of washed-out sky that keeps a room from feeling heavy.

Polyester makes up the whole pile, on a cotton back, machine-woven in China. It is soft and colourfast. Because the surface is a single plain colour, it settles quietly next to whatever furniture you already own.

Rectangular and high-pile, the light blue Breeze is a synthetic fibre rug that suits several rooms. In the lounge, set it so the front feet of the sofa and armchairs rest on it and the seating reads as one group. The same calm shade works beside a bed. For a nursery or a place to build blocks, a floor this deep is kind to knees, and the pale blue fits in well with our Kids Room Rugs. Mark out where the Breeze will lie with masking tape, then use our advice on rug sizes to pick one.

It's suitable for use with underfloor heating, so it can stay put through winter.

Vacuum the light blue Breeze without a rotating brush and go easy with liquids on the deep pile, as our guide to looking after your rug advises. A pad cut slightly smaller than the Breeze keeps it flat and stops the corners lifting. Comb the fibres through with a wide-toothed comb now and then so they don't mat.
