Price History
Description
Produced throughout the middle-east, decorative Kilim rugs have a lineage that stretches back centuries. The handmade, knotless Lima takes this ancient tradition and injects a modern flavour with splashes of summer shades and geometric pattern set against classic loop fringing.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its contemporary geometric design, which instantly adds a modern yet versatile touch to a variety of interiors. It's perfect for open-plan living spaces or bedrooms where you want to introduce colour and pattern without overwhelming the overall scheme. The subtle mix of neutral tones with bold accents makes it adaptable for both minimalist and eclectic styles. Practical styling tips include layering it over a larger, neutral carpet to define areas or pairing it with minimalist furniture to let the rug be the focal point. Its size works well under a dining table or in a seating area, and I’d recommend keeping surroundings simple to highlight its graphic pattern.

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.
