Bring a touch of traditional elegance to your home with this stunning rug. Made in Turkey, this rug features a muted pattern in soft pink tones that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The soft touch pile feels luxurious underfoot, while the small fringe adds a charming touch of texture.
Pick up a corner of Novara Aurelia and the density of the weave is the first thing you'll register.
How it looks
What is happening at the surface is straightforward. A grey-toned rug is the easiest way to anchor a room without committing to a strong palette. The motif is a modern reading of a traditional layout — there is enough of the original character to feel inherited, without the formal weight of an antique. From the kitchen looking through to the lounge, the rug reads as a single grounding plane rather than a competing pattern.
What's under the surface
Underneath the look, Anatolian-woven. We've worked with Turkish mills for decades — the country's heritage in rugs runs deep, and the power-loom programmes are some of the most consistent in the world. We like polyester for shaggies and luxe-pile pieces because it takes deep colour beautifully and stays soft over years of use. This is a 13mm pile — soft, considered, with enough density to spring back from foot traffic without flattening. Construction-wise, this is built to look the same six months in as the day it arrived.
How it handles real life
Among the rooms our customers describe to us, in a Brisbane Queenslander where the breezy palette of the room calls for something quietly grounded is the most common context for a piece like this. Polyester takes well to spot-cleaning — a damp cloth, cool water, and mild detergent will handle most everyday spills. We sell more of this style to families with school-age children than to any other group, which says something about how it lives.
Picking the right size
A 200x290cm covers most three-seater living rooms; a 240x330cm suits the larger open-plan layouts that have become common in new Australian builds. Our Rug Size Guide shows you which fits.
Novara Aurelia suits the customer who wants the room finished, not the next decision.
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 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.
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 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 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.
