Price History
Description
Design. Combining a versatile and sophisticated colour palette with one of Orla Kiely’s signature playful prints, the Linear Slate rug makes just the right amount of noise. The simple yet highly defined outline of the rug’s design offers a clean and contemporary finish, softened by cream tones against a grey backdrop. Expertly crafted and hand-tufted for precision, prepare to kick of your slippers and enjoy the sumptuous softness of pure new wool instead.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its clean, contemporary pattern and neutral slate tones, making it a versatile choice for a range of interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist, modern, or Scandinavian-style spaces where its graphic design can add visual interest without overwhelming the room. When styling, consider placing it in living rooms or bedrooms with understated furniture to let its pattern stand out. Practical tips include layering with textured cushions or throws for added comfort, and pairing with light wooden or metal furniture for a balanced look. Its durable design also makes it suitable for high-traffic areas, ensuring practicality alongside style.

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.
