Light blue, soft as a summer sky. In a nursery this square rug creates a gentle play area next to the cot. With white and pale grey it looks Scandinavian. Dreamy.

Machines in China weave the polyester pile onto a cotton back. Polyester dries quickly if something gets spilt, and the long pile cushions little knees nicely when a baby starts to crawl and explores the room one corner after the other.

Vacuum gently. Pale colours show fluff sooner, so a short round twice a week keeps the nursery rug looking soft and clean.
