Price History
Description
Inspired by Massai patterns, the short-pile Shuka rug sandstone is designed by Lorena Canals – who created the first washable rug concept – and features irregular lines that form an inspiring check pattern. The mixed yarns display colours of sandstone and champagne while irregular borders and uneven edges finished with short fringes complete the rug. Comfortable and hard-wearing, it’s a subtle but stylish addition for your home, while being machine-washable means you can keep it looking brand new.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatility and practicality, especially in busy family or high-traffic areas. The Sandstone colour is neutral enough to work well with a variety of colour schemes, from muted tones to bolder palettes. Its washable nature makes it a smart choice for homes where spills or stains are inevitable, without compromising on style. I’d recommend pairing it with minimalist or Scandinavian interiors for a modern look, or layering it with textured cushions and throws to add warmth and depth. It works particularly well under dining tables, in living rooms, or even in a kids’ playroom, where easy maintenance is key. Just keep the scale in mind when styling - in a large room, this sizeable rug can anchor the space beautifully without overpowering it.

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.
