Price History
Description
The La Belle Carpet has a soft feel like non-other. Hand woven from 100% viscose pile, this plush beauty has a velvety texture in the colour silver sand, detailed with a diagonal geometric pattern. Noise dampening and comfortable, La Belle will not disappoint.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatile, neutral tone and subtle geometric pattern, which adds interest without overwhelming a space. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, but can also complement more traditional settings with its understated elegance. When styling, consider pairing it with furniture in soft greys, beige, or natural wood tones for a cohesive look. Practical tips include layering with smaller textured cushions or throws for added comfort, and placing it in high-traffic areas like living rooms or under a dining table to anchor the space while maintaining practicality thanks to its durable appearance. This rug's size and shape make it a great focal point in larger open-plan rooms or under statement furniture pieces.

About Barker and Stonehouse
A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
