Heritage Medallion Foldable Rug

A traditional oriental medallion pattern in warm earthy tones, woven thin enough to fold rather than roll. That thinness is the practical argument: it stores flat in a cupboard, ships without a tube, and lies under a door without catching on it.

Four sizes cover very different jobs. 61 x 91 cm is a doormat or a bedside runner. 61 x 213 cm is a hallway runner. 91 x 152 cm sits under a coffee table or beside a bed. 152 x 213 cm is a proper living room rug, large enough for the front legs of a sofa to sit on it.

The backing is non-slip, so it stays put on hard floors without an underlay, which matters most for the runner sizes in a hallway. Grey is the most neutral, blue the coolest, coral red the warmest and boldest. The surface is soft underfoot despite the low pile. Vacuum on a low setting and spot clean rather than machine washing the larger sizes. Because it ships folded rather than rolled, it arrives in a flat parcel rather than a long tube, useful in a block of flats without a concierge to sign for an awkward delivery. Fold lines from transit usually settle out within a day once the rug is laid flat and walked on. The 61 x 213 cm runner is the size most people underestimate; measure the hallway first, since a runner short of a doorway looks unfinished.
