Our Stylist Says
I love the Louis De Poortere Columbus Rug for its versatile, understated design that effortlessly adds texture without overwhelming a space. Its neutral tones and subtle linear pattern make it suitable for both modern and transitional interiors, particularly in open-plan living areas or bedrooms where a calm, understated foundation is needed. Practical styling tips include pairing it with contemporary upholstered furniture or layered with throw blankets and cushions in complementary shades for added visual interest. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a rug that marries style with durability, making it a practical addition to high-traffic areas.

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.
