Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its subtle, vintage-inspired aesthetic that effortlessly adds character to a range of interiors. It works particularly well in both contemporary and traditional settings where a touch of warmth is desired. Its neutral tones mean it pairs beautifully with colour schemes from soft pastels to bold accent walls, making it quite versatile. For styling tips, try layering it over plain flooring or pairing it with minimalist furniture to let the pattern and texture stand out. In high-traffic zones, opt for a rug with a tight weave or consider placing a rug pad underneath for added durability and grip. Overall, this piece offers a great combination of style and practicality for a variety of living spaces.

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.
