Rug lead time and availability.
Your rug will be available approximately one to two weeks from your date of purchase. Our suppliers do everything they can to ensure they have all of their products in stock however if your rug does happen to be out of stock at the time of your order we will be in touch as soon as possible to discuss the available options.

If you would like to see this piece in person before placing your order please feel free to give us a call and we can advise you on its current availability.
How to choose the right size rug for your space.
Your floor rug should be generous enough to allow for furniture to be comfortably arranged on and around it. When in doubt, go larger rather than smaller for a room that looks thoughtfully designed. Need help choosing a size? See ourRug Size Guidefor lots of handy tips.
We strongly recommend carefully measuring your home to ensure that your new floor rug will not only fit into its intended new home, but can be manoeuvred easily into position taking into account the size of doorways, stairways, elevators etc.
How to care for your rug.
Do not be exposed to direct sunlight. Vacuum with a soft brush attachment on a gentle setting. Clean all liquid spillages immediately. See our Rug Care Guidefor more information.
Take home a small rug to try in your home.
Before deciding on a new rug for your home, we recommend taking home one of our 80x150cm rugs to try. This gives you the chance to see a rug (or two!) in your space to make sure it's the perfect fit.
The cost of this rug is then redeemable towards the purchase of a larger rug once it has been returned. This small rug is fully refundable if you decide not to go ahead with your rug purchase.
Samples purchased in-store should be returned to us the next day. If you are purchasing online, please let us know you’ll be returning the rug as soon as possible. Please note: Return shipping costs for samples purchased online are the responsibility of the customer.
Colour variation
Actual colours may vary slightly. We take great care when photographing and editing our product images to ensure they reflect the true colours of the piece. Please be aware colours can look different from one screen to another. Colours can also appear different when the item is in your home due to different lighting conditions and colours surrounding the rug. To ensure you have the best possible experience we strongly encourage you to purchase an 80x150cm rug before ordering your larger piece. These small rugs can be returned for a full refund or credit towards the purchase of your full size rug. Taking one of these small rugs allows you to see the style you like in its intended space to properly experience the colours, materials and patterns. Any purchases made without a previous small rug trial will not be able to be returned due to colour variation. See more information about our sample rugs above.

We will not accept returns where rugs have been placed in situations where the floors are carpeted or not perfectly flat and firm.
Your rug will be ordered especially for you when you make your purchase as we don't hold all rug styles and sizes in store. As a general rule, we do not accept any returns on special order items. However, we want you to love the rug you buy from us so we have amended these rules for rug purchases. If you change your mind you may return the rug to us for astore credit only. If you require a refund this will incur a 20% restocking fee. The rug must be returned to us in unused "as new" condition. The return of the rug and any costs associated with its return is the responsibility of the customer.
