The subtle design of the Chester collection features an eclectic blend of dappled blue, green and grey shading, which is both cool and inviting. Although ornamental the marbled synthesis of color will never overpower complementary decor elements, making this range perfect for any living space. Great with wood, gorgeous over tiles, and available in a variety of sizes, the Chester rug is simple to clean and will remain attractive for years to come. FEATURES:

Construction
In one line: Made in Belgium on Wilton looms. Belgium's Wilton looms are some of the most exacting in the world — the colour separation and pattern definition you get from them is hard to match elsewhere. Polypropylene yarns take colour exceptionally well — the tones you see in the photo are stable and hold up under daily sun exposure. The pile is 12mm, which is what we'd call a true everyday pile — the kind of weight you want under a coffee table or a dining setting. The yarn count is dense enough that the pattern reads sharply without losing softness underfoot.
How it handles real life
In a real Australian room, this style sits well over blackbutt floorboards, particularly when the rest of the room runs to off-white walls. A handheld vacuum and a damp cloth handle ninety percent of what you will need to do to keep this rug looking right. A good shake outdoors once a season and a regular vacuum is the whole maintenance story.
On colour
Worth a moment on the look of it. Green-toned rugs have come back strongly — they pair beautifully with rattan, terracotta pots, and the indoor-plant culture that's now firmly part of Australian living. Design-wise, the surface is restrained enough to layer with strong artwork or strong upholstery without competing. The longer you sit in a room with this rug, the less you notice it — which is exactly what a good rug is meant to do.
Picking the right size
Have a tape measure handy before you commit — our Rug Size Guide has the layouts most of our customers end up choosing.

Questions we get asked
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.
Is the colour the same on both sides?
No — the pile side is the finished face. The reverse shows the construction and is usually a slightly different colour because the dye penetrates the surface rather than the entire fibre.
How thick is the rug overall?
The total thickness includes the pile plus the backing — for most of our rugs, that ends up somewhere between 8mm and 30mm depending on the pile listed. If you need a precise figure for a door clearance, message us and we'll measure.
Will this rug shed?
No, not in the meaningful sense. Synthetic pile is heat-set rather than spun from short staple fibres, so you may see a small amount of fibre in the first week and very little after that.
How long does delivery take to my address?
Most metro orders arrive within 3–7 business days. Regional and remote addresses can take a little longer. We'll send tracking the moment your rug leaves the warehouse.
