Grey velvet cushions and a white sofa sit easily with a cream Holly on the floor. Its high-low pattern gives the short pile a soft relief.

Will the cream Holly fit under my dining table?

Yes, as long as the chairs still stand on it when they're pushed back. Our advice on rug sizes shows how far a cream Holly should reach beyond the table. In the lounge it sits in front of the sofa among our Living Room Rugs, and this low pile rug also suits kitchens and children's rooms. Heated floors are fine.

What is the cream Holly made of?

Polyester microfibre, 100% of the pile, on a cotton backing. Weavers in India made it by hand, so the size can differ slightly from the label. That fine yarn puts it among our Synthetic Fibre Rugs. On smooth floors, an underlay helps.

How do I keep the cream Holly looking fresh?

A brush-head vacuum is fine on this short pile. Flattened areas, for example under a chair, stand up again with a soft brush, and the care guide also recommends a slightly smaller anti-slip mat on smooth floors. Regular vacuuming keeps the high-low pattern crisp.
