Grey is the colour that gets along with almost everything, and the Silky in grey makes a calm runner for a hallway. Lay it along a pale wall or beside a dark wooden floor and it simply settles in.

• Pile: 100% polyester (microfibre)
• Backing: cotton
• Hand-tufted in India
• Runner shape, shaggy high pile
• Fine over underfloor heating

On the grey Silky, the fibre is microfibre, which is polyester spun very fine. That gives the soft, smooth feel under bare feet. As one of our Synthetic Fibre Rugs, the grey is soft and colourfast. Each one is tufted by hand. Light catches the surface a little differently depending on which way you look at it.

The runner shape suits a long hall, the kitchen or the floor beside a bed. In a bedroom, it gives you something warm to step onto first thing. Little ones find the soft grey surface gentle underfoot, so the runner sits well with our Kids Room Rugs in a nursery. Silky also comes in beige, blue, brown, cream and green if grey is not quite right for your room.

Spills stay on top of the fibre for a while, so there is time to blot with a cloth and hardly any water. Combing the grey runner's long pile keeps it from matting, as our rug care tips explain. Vacuum without the rotating brush, and lift flattened pile by brushing against it.
