Variegated textures in our Contour collection lend instant rustic appeal to interior or even exterior living areas. These non-shedding, Polypropylene rugs are as easy on the eye as they are to clean. Durable enough for high traffic areas, their 9mm pile also makes them beautiful enough for showcased areas in your home. Made to exacting standards, in Belgium, Contour rugs display a contemporary vibe with their natural cream and grey shading making them the ideal floor covering to compliment and accentuate your lifestyle.
Contour White Agate is the kind of rug we describe to customers as 'considered without trying'.
About the make
Woven in Belgium. 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. The fibre is synthetic, but the modern poly yarns we work with feel close to soft wool underfoot and clean up far more easily. The pile is 9mm, which is what we'd call a true everyday pile — the kind of weight you want under a coffee table or a dining setting. Pile twist and density together are what give this piece the longevity that the warranty implies.
Practical notes
In practice, this style sits well over dark hardwood floors, particularly when the rest of the room runs to warm white interiors. A handheld vacuum and a damp cloth handle ninety percent of what you will need to do to keep this rug looking right. We sell more of this style to families with school-age children than to any other group, which says something about how it lives.
On colour
The silver tone here carries a slight cool shimmer — useful in rooms where you want a modern, pulled-together look without going stark. Tonally, the rug shifts subtly through the day — warmer in morning light, more grounded in the cooler hours of the afternoon. Up close, you can see how the colour shifts slightly across the pile — that subtle variation is what stops the surface looking printed.
On sizing
Sizes range across our usual run — if you're unsure which to pick, our Rug Size Guide walks through the common Australian room layouts.
If you want a rug that quietly carries its weight for years, Contour White Agate is the one to consider.
FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is the back of the rug latex-coated?
The backing is a standard textile finish — it sits flat on the floor and won't mark timber boards. For hard floors, we'd still recommend a rug pad to keep it from sliding.
