Run your palm across the red Phoenix and the short polypropylene pile feels smooth and even. Warm colour, cool touch.

Red Phoenix in front of the sofa or under the table

A low pile rug like this lies flat in front of a sofa, at the side of a bed or under a dining table. Kitchens and kids' rooms suit it too, and underfloor heating is fine. Lounges suit it well, and it sits among our living room rugs as one of the warmer reds, and our sizing tips help you decide how far it should reach beyond the furniture.

How the Phoenix gets its faded red pattern

Jacquard machines in Turkey weave the design, so each line is precise and the pattern repeats evenly across the rug. The worn look comes from the design itself, a style that sits well with vintage rugs. Its pile is 100% polypropylene on a jute backing, placing it with our synthetic fibre rugs.

Spill care for the red Phoenix

Liquid stays on the polypropylene for a little while, so there is time to blot it up. After that, dab with water and a gentle soap, as our cleaning advice sets out, and finish with clear water. Hot pans or an iron are the only real risk for this red pile.
