Teal Rugs; Bringing a Splash of Colour to your Home

Bring a Splash of Colour to Your Home with Teal Rugs

Every year it seems there’s a new colour that’s the year’s must-have. And because you’ve read the title already, you may well have guessed that 2014 is all about… that’s right: teal.

Perhaps the best way to describe teal is that it’s an almost perfect mix of green and blue. A peppy, vibrant colour with a lot of life, it’s no surprise that teal rugs are proving so popular this year. And here at Rugs Direct we’re never ones to shirk the trends, so we’ve got a host of superb teal rugs for you to try out for size. Here are our favourites.

Whisper Dark Teal Rug

If textured rugs are your thing, then you’ll just love this Whisper Dark Teal Rug. Crafted with a long pile to give a soft sheen, this rug is made in China from 100% polyester. Its rich teal colouring is enhanced by the design of the pile itself, with shades of light and dark appearing in its midst depending on the way each fibre has fallen. A truly eye-catching teal rug that’ll be at home in any room.

Nina Blossom Teal Rug

Made in Egypt using a hard-wearing material to ensure this teal rug will stand the test of time, the Nina Blossom Teal Rug is one of our customers’ favourites. Immediately striking, the rug is notable for its intricate and ornate design which uses teal as its backdrop. The design is hand-carved into the rug, making every one of these teal rugs a truly unique and individual piece.

The Peaks Matlock Teal Rugs

The Peaks Matlock Teal Rugs are actually a collection of rugs that are a true celebration of the colour. Made from a durable 100% acrylic material, this is a hard-wearing teal rug – but the real star of this show is the eye-catching design. Rather than simply sticking with a flat teal colour all the way through, this range of rugs uses unique patterns to explore the various shades of teal – and it’s something that makes them truly special.

Anti-slip Rug Underlay - Your Q's Answered

It can be so frustrating when you spend time and money choosing the perfect rug for your room, but then when it arrives it keeps on slipping around the floor! Luckily there is an easy way to combat the slipping!

Anti-slip underlay can be ordered to your size specification so that all you have to do is put it under your rug when it arrives! It really is that simple! We have answered all of the commonly asked questions that we regularly get asked from our customers so that you can make an informed decision about which anti-slip underlay is right for you.  

Q. How do I know what type of underlay I need for my rug?
A. Profilo is a cushioned anti-slip underlay for use on smooth floors, such as wood or tile. Top fleece 2 can also be used for smooth floors but profile gives more cushioning and will last longer. Top-Fleece 2 is an anti-slip underlay for use on carpeted surfaces.

Q. What size should I order my underlay as?

A. Order your underlay the same size as the rug it will be going underneath. This is because your underlay can easily be trimmed with scissors if a little is showing outside the rug.  

Q. Can you wash underlay?

A. Yes you can wash both Profilo  and Top-Fleece 2.

Q. How thick is Profilo?

A. Profilio is 3mm thick. 

Q.  Can you uplift underlay?

A.  Profilo – Yes, you can uplift it and move it as often as you like.

Top Fleece 2 – This will lose a little of its effectiveness every time it is lifted.

Q. Does anti-slip underlay leave a residue on the floor or carpet?

A. No.

Q. Can anti-slip underlay be used with 

     underfloor heating?  

A. Yes

Q. Where are they made?      

A. Germany

Q. Where can I buy anti-slip underlay 

from for my rug?    

 A.  You can buy from our website!

A New Year, A New Look?

Revitalise Your Home For 2013

The rush and excitement of Christmas is well and truly over and 2013 is now in full swing.  A new year can bring about a lot of questions about ourselves from our career goals to our lifestyle. 

A New Year means a whole new set of possibilities and opportunities and we often find ourselves clearing out the old and bringing in the new. 

For some of us this allows us to let go of the past and welcome a new beginning and fresh start. For others it is simply spring cleaning coming early or taking advantage of some Christmas money to spend on ourselves for a change. 

Whatever your reason may be, one of the easiest ways to revitalise your home or work place is by adding a rug to it. Not only does a new rug instantly lift a dull and faded carpet, or create a soft warm feeling underfoot on hard floors, it also adds colour, warmth and personality to any room. 

Rugs come in a variety of sizes and prices to suit all rooms and budgets. They range in style from traditional designs to modern and elegant, to funky ‘out there’ designs! There really is a rug to suit every room and every personality. 

 

If you are in search of a new you and a new home without moving or picking up a paint brush then browse through our website and see what takes your fancy. You can even add rugs to your ‘wishlist’ and come back to them another day.

 If you have any questions we are always happy to help on the other end of the phone or by email.
