Soft pink is a good fit for a child's bed or a quiet corner of a bedroom, and the Breeze in Rosa suits both. This hallway runner has a deep, fluffy surface that feels lovely underfoot. It is plain pink, so it sits easily next to white furniture, pale wood or grey bedding.

Pink polyester on a cotton back

Its pile is 100% polyester, on a cotton backing. It is machine-woven in China, which gives it clean lines and an even look. Polyester is a man-made fibre that soaks up very little moisture, so a spilled drink gives you a little time to blot. The surface is high-pile, the kind most people call a shaggy rug, and it feels soft and cosy underfoot.

Where the pink runner works

Along the side of a bed, a runner catches your feet as you get up, and in a nursery it gives small children a soft strip to sit and play on. Leave a little bare floor by the walls and in front of doors so they can swing freely, and it makes a gentle hall runner too. The pink works in a child's room and a bedroom alike, and like our other Runner Rugs it can also run the length of a hallway. Suitable for underfloor heating, the Breeze also comes in beige, blue, cream, dark brown, dark grey and green if pink is not your colour. Sizes vary, and finding the right fit is quick with a bit of masking tape on the floor.

How do I keep the pink Breeze looking fresh?

Vacuum it without the rotating brush, which can pull at the long fibres, and run a wide-toothed comb through the pile now and then so it does not mat. A grip pad slightly smaller than the rug keeps the corners flat. If something spills, blot first and go easy on the water, because the pile can hold on to moisture, as our guide on how to clean your rug explains. Turn the rug from time to time as well.
