Description
In a relaxed interpretation of a classic stripe design, we've created this rug using a wool-rich blend for a wonderfully soft but still strong feel underfoot. With a flat finish making this rug ideal for busy, high-traffic rooms, the materials in this rug have been woven together by hand to create a strong construction. About your new rug We recommend.

Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatility and contemporary appeal. The grey tones make it a great neutral piece that can anchor a range of colour schemes, from soft pastels to bold, vibrant hues. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, but also adds texture to more eclectic spaces. Practical styling tips include layering it with solid-coloured furnishings to let the pattern stand out, or pairing it with natural textures like wood or leather for a cosy, balanced look. Since it’s relatively understated, it’s ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms or hallways, where durability and style are equally important.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
