Fingers find the texture first on the Holy in grey. Its high-low effect leaves some areas of pile standing a little proud of others, so the surface feels sculpted.

• Pile: 80% polypropylene, 20% polyester
• Jute backing
• Machine-woven on Jacquard looms in Turkey
• Low pile with high-low effect
• Fine with underfloor heating

This grey low pile rug brings texture without colour to a living room, a dining room or a kids' room. A kitchen rug in grey is sensible too, since synthetic fibre takes up very little moisture. Jacquard weaving is what keeps the raised and lower areas of the Holy so even. Holy is one of our synthetic fibre rugs and also appears among our kitchen rugs. Check our sizing tips before deciding how much floor it should cover.

Heat is the only real enemy of polypropylene, so hot dishes stay on the table. Where chair legs have flattened the pile, brush it back up. A brush-head vacuum is fine on the short grey pile, as how to clean your rug confirms. That covers most weeks.
