A statement of style, this collection features bold, contemporary designs. Machine woven to the highest quality in Turkey, these rugs feature a easy care polypropylene fiber to complement your home.
The brief for Novus 726AA Grey Turquoise Runner is straightforward — a rug that earns its place and stays out of the way.
About the make
At a glance: Turkish-made. Turkey has been the centre of rug-making for centuries, and the power-loom tradition that came out of Anatolia in the late 20th century is what makes a piece like this possible at a sensible price. Heat-set polypropylene yarns hold their twist for years — that is what stops the pile flattening under a coffee table or sofa leg. At 15mm, the pile is on the plusher side of our range — it has the kind of give that makes a bedroom rug worth waking up to. The yarn count is dense enough that the pattern reads sharply without losing softness underfoot.
Living with it
Day to day, it pairs especially well with limestone tiles and warm white interiors. Cleaning protocol is intentionally simple: blot fresh spills, vacuum weekly, get a professional clean every few years if it sees heavy use. Lay it once and forget it is there. That is the right frame of mind for a piece like this.
About the look
The colour story matters here. A grey-toned rug is the easiest way to anchor a room without committing to a strong palette. The pattern is broken just enough at the surface to keep the visual rhythm interesting without ever feeling busy. We have laid this in rooms with bold artwork above and minimal furniture, and it sits comfortably in both.
Which size?
Runners are about scale, not just length — leave at least 10cm of floor visible on each side of the runner so the hallway doesn't feel boxed in. Our Rug Size Guide has the proportions we recommend.
Novus 726AA Grey Turquoise Runner is the kind of buy you make once, lay down, and stop thinking about.
Common questions
Will it sit flat once unrolled?
Almost always within 24–48 hours. If you see any waves from the rolled packaging, lay the rug pile-up in the room and let it relax overnight — gravity does the rest. For stubborn corners, rolling the rug briefly in the opposite direction usually does it.
Will it cope with kids and pets?
Yes, comfortably. Synthetic pile is stain-resistant, doesn't snag under claws, and lifts spills cleanly. It's the construction we recommend most to growing families.
Can I steam clean this rug?
Light steam is fine for synthetic pile. Avoid prolonged direct heat in one spot, and let the rug dry completely before walking on it.
Can I return it if it isn't right?
Yes — we offer a clear returns window because we know a rug needs to be seen in the actual room. The details are on our returns page, and we'll talk you through it if anything is unclear.
Can I use this with underfloor heating?
Yes — the pile is not so dense that it traps heat, and the backing handles the moderate temperatures typical of residential underfloor systems.
