Rug 290K STD, red-pink, 200×300

Flowers across the whole rug

290K STD has neither a medallion nor a frame. The whole surface is filled with blooms that resemble chrysanthemums or gerberas: some fully open, others showing only the tips of their petals. The palette is built on red, from a dark, almost cherry tone in the depths to pale pink at the petal tips, which gives the picture photographic depth.

Material

The pile is polypropylene and the rug is machine-made. Polypropylene does not absorb moisture and releases dirt easily, so the bright colour survives ordinary damp spot cleaning. No hard scrubbing is needed: blot the stain and wipe it with a damp cloth.

The 200×300 format

In the room photo the rug lies between a pale sofa and a green armchair with a wooden table on top, which shows that six square metres of flowers do not overwhelm a room when the furniture around is calm.

Pairings

Cream, milky and sand walls, warm wood furniture and green plants work best; greenery makes the red even richer. Avoid large prints on curtains and upholstery nearby.
