{"title":"Designer Rugs","description":"\u003cp\u003eA designer rug carries a name behind the pattern. Every rug on this page comes from a design house rather than a mill catalogue, and the drawing came first: an archive print, a studio motif, a colourway signed off by the house that owns it. That is the difference between a floral rug and a Laura Ashley one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Design Houses Behind Our Designer Rugs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEight houses, and four of them worth taking on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWilliam Morris Rugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorris \u0026amp; Co. holds the archive of William Morris, the British designer whose repeating botanical patterns came out of the Arts and Crafts movement in the second half of the nineteenth century. The rugs take drawings made for wallpaper and cloth and rework them at floor scale, which means the repeat is larger and the outlines are heavier than the original. Wool and wool blends run through the range, and there are polypropylene versions made for outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLaura Ashley Rugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA British house whose name has meant printed florals since the 1950s. The rugs split between pattern and texture: trailing stems and small repeats on one side, plain and near-plain weaves on the other, the second group aimed at rooms where the pattern is already on the walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrla Kiely Rugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic rather than floral. The motifs are simplified to a few shapes, repeated on a grid and held to a short list of colours, so the pattern reads as a single block from across a room rather than as detail you approach to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarlequin Rugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarlequin sits in Sanderson Design Group alongside Sanderson and Scion, and is the most colour-led of the three. Sanderson works the traditional end of the same archive, Scion the flat contemporary end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalvin Klein and Brink \u0026amp; Campman complete the selection. The Calvin Klein rugs stay close to the house's usual restraint, mostly texture and tone rather than pattern. Brink \u0026amp; Campman is a Dutch weaver working largely in wool, and the pattern there tends to come from the weave itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLuxury Rugs in Wool, Wool Blends and Polypropylene\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of what you pay for in a luxury rug is fibre and density. Wool springs back after a sofa leg has stood on it, holds dye without going flat in daylight, and dirties slowly because the fibre repels water for long enough to blot a spill. Wool viscose blends add a sheen that shifts as you walk past. Polypropylene is the practical one: it takes sun and rain without fading, which is why the outdoor designs use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScreens make a poor job of all three. Wool pile changes with the angle you stand at, viscose more so, and no photograph shows either. The Enniskillen showroom is the place to settle that, and to see a repeat at full size rather than cropped into a square thumbnail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Designer Rugs Work, Indoors and Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool and wool blends suit a sitting room or a bedroom, where the traffic is steady but not constant and the rug is underfoot barefoot as often as not. The polypropylene designs, William Morris among them, are made for a patio, a garden room or a covered terrace. Outdoor here means the fibre and the construction will take the weather; it does not mean the rug is waterproof, and none of them should be left standing in water over a winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions About Designer Rugs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes a rug a designer rug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is owned by a named house and licensed or made under its control, rather than drawn in-house by a manufacturer. In practice it means the pattern exists elsewhere too, in wallpaper or fabric, and that the colourways have been chosen to sit with the rest of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre designer carpets and designer rugs the same thing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn British usage the two words get swapped freely, and most people searching for designer carpets mean a loose rug rather than fitted flooring. Everything on this page is a rug: finished on all four edges and made to be lifted, not laid wall to wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan designer rugs be used outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome can. The outdoor designs are polypropylene and are described as such on the product page. A wool or wool blend rug should stay indoors, because damp wool holds moisture in the backing and will not dry out on a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre designer rugs machine washable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone in this selection are. Wool and wool blends go to a specialist cleaner, and the polypropylene outdoor designs can be hosed and left to dry flat. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar does more for a designer rug than any wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo designer rugs last longer than cheaper rugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually, though the reason is the wool and the density rather than the name. A dense wool pile recovers from pressure and hides wear along the walking line, where a thin synthetic pile flattens and stays flat. The design holding its value is a separate matter, and archive patterns have a better record there than trend-led ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sanderson-foraging-indigo-146618-round","title":"Sanderson Foraging Indigo 146618 - Round","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-woo-short-description-tb fusion-woo-short-description-tb-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"post-content woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-woo-short-description-tb fusion-woo-short-description-tb-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"post-content woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eLarge Rugs Add Comfort and Elegance\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransform your space with the enchanting \u003ca title=\"Shop the full Sanderson rug collection\" href=\"https:\/\/foys.ie\/collections\/sanderson-wool-rug-collection\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSanderson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Foraging Indigo 146618 – \u003ca title=\"Foy and Company - Discover our wide collection of Round rugs.\" href=\"https:\/\/foys.ie\/collections\/round-rugs\"\u003eRound\u003c\/a\u003e.
