Soft pink suits a child's room and a grown-up bedroom just as well, and the Silky in this shade is cut as a runner. Lay it in a hallway or along the side of a bed and the colour reads as a gentle wash rather than a loud statement.

Shaggy pink pile that stays soft underfoot

The surface is a fine, silky microfibre with a plain, solid colour. Little feet or bare ones landing out of bed meet something smooth and plush, and the plain surface lets the pink do the work. With its long, narrow runner shape, it frames a walkway nicely. Leave a little bare floor at the wall and in front of doors so they can swing freely. It also works well beside a cot or changing table in a nursery.

Pink Silky: made in India, tufted by hand

This hallway runner is hand-tufted in India. Polyester microfibre makes up 100% of the pink pile on a cotton back, and each piece is made by hand, so small differences between rugs are normal. Because polyester takes up very little moisture, it is a practical choice for a busy house. The Silky is suitable for use over underfloor heating. Its microfibre matches the material of our Synthetic Fibre Rugs, and in a playroom the pink runner sits well beside our Kids Room Rugs.

Combing out the pink Silky runner

If something spills, dab it up while the liquid is still sitting on the surface, and keep water to a minimum on the long pile. Our notes on how to clean your rug recommend a wide-toothed comb now and then so the pink pile doesn't mat. A brush worked against the pile lifts any flattened patches back up.
