Our Stylist Says
I love this crochet rug for its soft, neutral tones and tactile texture, making it a versatile piece that adds warmth and subtle interest to a space. Its understated beige palette lends itself well to various interior styles, from modern minimalism to boho chic, creating a calming foundation on which to build the rest of your decor. In terms of styling, it works particularly well layered over light-wood or neutral-toned flooring, and can be complemented with textured cushions or throws for a cosy feel. Practical tips include positioning it in a lounge or bedroom to act as a calming focal point, and pairing it with pared-back furniture to let its craftsmanship shine. Its size is ideal for defining a seating area or adding a soft touch in a larger open-plan room.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
