Description
The Alto rug from Asiatic is a versatile piece, easily bringing a bold aesthetic to any space. Its rectangular design features a monochrome, geometric motif that's inspired by traditional Berber styles, while the deep pile creates a soft, luxurious feel underfoot. Please note, returns on this item are only accepted by post. This item cannot be returned to a store.
Our Stylist Says
The Asiatic Alto Rug is a versatile piece that works beautifully in a variety of interiors, especially those with a modern or Scandinavian aesthetic thanks to its neutral cream mix with subtle patterning. I love how its soft, textured finish adds warmth and comfort underfoot, making it ideal for living rooms or bedrooms. To style it effectively, I’d suggest pairing with muted colour schemes or contrasting with darker furniture for a balanced look, while its pattern can help define a space without overwhelming it. Practical tips include occasional vacuuming and prompt stain removal to keep the rug looking fresh, and layering it under larger furniture pieces can help anchor a room effortlessly.

About Marks & Spencer
Founded in 1844, Marks & Spencer are an iconic brand that provides well-designed pieces that combine comfort and durability.
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
