Run your hand across the Breeze in light blue and you'll feel why it ends up in so many bedrooms: the long polyester pile is soft, springy and a little cloud-like underfoot. As a shaggy rug, it suits anyone who likes to kick off their shoes and sit on the floor.

Will a square light blue rug work in my room?

The pale colour is plain and quiet, so it sits easily with a calm, light colour scheme. Like our other Square Rugs, it fits a seating corner, a reading nook or a room that is roughly as wide as it is long. It works well in a living room where the sofa and armchairs face each other, and in a bedroom beside the bed. The colour is one even shade throughout.

Is it a good pick for a child's room?

A child's rug needs to be soft for crawling and playing, and the long pile suits that well. As a nursery rug, light blue is a calm choice, and the square shape marks out a neat play spot on the floor. The rug is machine-woven in China, so the weave is even from edge to edge. The pile is 100% polyester on a cotton backing, and it is suitable for underfloor heating. It also comes in several sizes, and our advice on rug sizes helps you choose.

How do I keep the pile from matting?

Polyester takes in very little moisture, so spills stay on the surface for a while. Dab them with a cloth. For everything else, looking after your rug is mostly a gentle routine: vacuum without a rotating brush, and use a non-slip pad slightly smaller than the rug so the corners stay flat. Comb through any flattened patch, or brush it up against the grain, and the pile lifts again.
