Picture the Silky in green on the floor of a lounge, with the sofa pulled back and a reading chair beside it. A round rug like this gives a corner its own spot, and the soft curve breaks up all those straight lines of shelves and sideboards. It also looks good in a bedroom, where the colour reads as calm rather than loud.

Silky green, pile and backing

Round and green, this Silky is 100% polyester spun as microfibre, which is why it feels so soft underfoot. Cotton forms the backing. It is hand-tufted in India, and because it is handmade you may notice that the green looks a shade lighter or darker depending on the light and the direction of the pile. That comes with hand tufting. Its polyester microfibre places the green circle among our Synthetic Fibre Rugs collection, and the same design also comes in beige, blue, brown, cream and grey.

Where the round Silky sits happily

In a living room it works as an island under a coffee table or beside an armchair. Rugs for the living room are often rectangular, so a round one makes a change, and the green Silky gives our Living Room Rugs a softer shape. By the bed it makes a warm step, and in a nursery it becomes a play area for building blocks and picture books. Deep and shaggy, the green circle is soft to sit on, and the rug is fine over underfloor heating. Check our size guide before you choose a diameter.

Looking after the round green Silky

Liquid doesn't soak in straight away, so you have time to blot a spill, and the shaggy pile needs only a little water. Our rug care guide recommends combing the green pile so it doesn't mat and brushing flat spots against the pile. Vacuum without the rotating brush.
