Light shedding is expected particularly in new rugs, this will reduce over time and will not affect the quality or longevity of the rug. We recommend that your rug is placed in a low traffic area, and we recommend that you vacuum your rug occasionally to keep it clean, do not use a vacuum cleaner with a spinning brush head. Generally light dirty marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth and new spills are blotted. Do not use detergents to clean or dry clean your rug. Specialist cleaning is recommended.

Our Stylist Says
The John Lewis Sissinghurst Floral Rug works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, thanks to its vibrant, abstract design and soft colour palette. I love how it can add visual interest to a neutral scheme without overwhelming the space. It’s versatile enough to anchor a seating area in a living room or bring some personality to a bedroom. For styling tips, pair it with understated furniture and cushions to let the rug be the focal point, or add layered textures with additional soft furnishings for a cosy, welcoming look. Given its size, it works best in medium to large spaces where it can be fully appreciated without feeling cramped.

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.
