Description
Design. Handwoven with a quality wool blend, the Marreu Rug in Zanzibar brings an exotic twist to modern lounges, living rooms and bedrooms. In soft, neutral tones and with gorgeous tassel detailing to the ends, it is a stylish way to add a homely touch of comfort to your interior. Delightfully textured, the rug’s 3D tribal design is beautifully defined and feels incredible underfoot.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Marreu Rug, Zanzibar for its versatile pattern and muted colour palette, which makes it a great addition to both contemporary and bohemian interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms or bedrooms where you want to add texture without overwhelming the space. For styling, consider pairing it with natural fibres and simple furnishings to highlight its intricate design. Practical tips include ensuring the rug is slightly larger than your main furniture pieces to anchor the room effectively, and placing a non-slip underlay underneath for safety and durability. Its understated tones also make it easy to coordinate with a variety of colour schemes, making it a staple piece for many interiors.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
