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:
We picked Chester Runner Green for the range because it sits comfortably in the kind of homes most of our customers actually live in.
What's under the surface
The short version: Belgian-made with European precision. Belgian weaving has a reputation for precision, and you can see it in the way the pattern sits on the surface of this rug. Polypropylene fibre handles wine, juice, and muddy paws with a damp cloth and a bit of patience — which is why we recommend it to most growing families. A 12mm pile feels soft on bare feet but doesn't trap dust the way a longer pile can. Run your hand across the surface and the pile feels even from corner to corner — that consistency is what separates a well-made rug from a budget one.
Practical notes
Day to day, picture engineered oak in a natural finish and pale grey walls — that is the kind of room this rug is at home in. Vacuum, blot, and live with it. That is genuinely the entire maintenance instruction for a rug like this. Pet-friendly in the most useful sense: claws won't catch the way they do on a looped pile, and the surface vacuums cleanly. Lay it once and forget it is there. That is the right frame of mind for a piece like this.
On colour
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. The pattern reads as quietly contemporary rather than fashionable — the kind of design that doesn't date in a hurry. Photographs flatten the surface; in person, the weave reads with more dimension than any catalogue image can convey.
Which size?
For hallways and galley kitchens, the 80x300cm length we run here is the most commonly bought — our Rug Size Guide walks through how to pick the right length for your space.
Order with confidence: this is one of the pieces our customers most often write back to tell us about.
Common questions
Can I cut the rug to size?
We don't recommend cutting a finished rug — the edges are bound and the construction relies on that binding to stay intact. If you need a custom size, message us and we'll see what's possible.
Does this rug ship rolled or folded?
Rolled. We ship every rug in our range rolled and wrapped — folding can leave a crease in the pile that takes a few weeks to settle out, so we avoid it.
Does the rug have a strong smell when it arrives?
There may be a faint factory or packaging smell on opening — it airs out within a day or two. Lay the rug out, open the windows, and it will settle quickly.
Will the colour look the same as the website photo?
Very close, but never identical — every screen renders colour slightly differently, and the rug itself will read warmer or cooler depending on the light in your room. If you want certainty, message us and we'll send additional photos taken in natural light.
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.
