Beside the bed only one thing really counts. How does the first step in the morning feel? On this cream rug, soft and smooth.

The pile is made of fine polyester microfibre, hand-tufted in India, with cotton on the back. The round shape suits a bedside or a dressing corner, and with white linen and pale wood the cream looks calm and bright, almost like a small hotel room where everything is quiet. Lovely.

Light colours show marks sooner. Blot spills at once and vacuum gently. Quiet and soft. It feels lovely underfoot.
