The Michael Angelo range abounds with beautiful, delicate, floral designs that celebrate the clever combination of well-coordinated colour with exciting texture. These rugs, with their vibrancy, are certain to light up even the dullest of spaces. Detailed enough to set off the simplest of furnishings, these rugs are nevertheless subtle enough to blend well in most living areas. Experience the pleasure of traditional design with modern-day resilience, a floor-piece that is eye-catching, but practical in every sense.
Of the rugs in our current modern category, Decora Green earns its place by doing the basics extremely well.
About the look
Worth a moment on the look of it. Green grounds a room with a sense of nature without the busyness of pattern. Classical medallion-and-border layout, but the colour palette has been softened so it sits comfortably in a contemporary room. It plays nicely with a low timber coffee table, a linen sofa, and the kind of considered clutter most lived-in rooms accumulate.
Built and finished
Underneath the look, Belgian-woven. The Wilton tradition in Belgium produces rugs with extremely fine pattern detail — the kind of edge clarity that holds up under close inspection. Polypropylene is the fibre we end up recommending in roughly four out of five conversations with new customers. It is honest, hard-wearing, and forgiving. The 15mm pile gives this rug genuine softness underfoot — particularly good for a bedroom or a sitting room you actually want to sit on the floor in. Look at the underside and you can see how dense the weave actually is — it is the part of the rug that does the real work.
Picking the right size
If you are between sizes, we almost always recommend sizing up. Our Rug Size Guide has the room-by-room measurements we use ourselves.
Day-to-day
Day to day, this style sits well over Spotted gum floors, particularly when the rest of the room runs to limewashed walls. Vacuum, blot, and live with it. That is genuinely the entire maintenance instruction for a rug like this. Pet hair vacuums out cleanly — the fibre does not hold dander the way a natural pile sometimes can. Once you have it down, the rug is one of the lowest-maintenance pieces of furniture you will ever buy.
Order with confidence: this is one of the pieces our customers most often write back to tell us about.
Common questions
How do I get rid of a stain?
Blot — never rub. Cool water and a small amount of mild detergent on a clean cloth handles most spills. Work from the outside of the stain in. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Does it work with a robot vacuum?
Yes for low and medium piles. For the deeper shaggies in our range, a robot vacuum will struggle a bit — you'll get better results with a regular upright on a higher setting.
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.
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 pattern repeat be obvious?
Not on this construction. The pattern is woven across the full face of the rug rather than printed, so you won't see the kind of seam-like repetition you sometimes get with a printed surface.
