Reflecting the youngest of trends, this collection introduces a hip, new look in designs of a new soft touch polypropylene pile. This unique, high quality heat set yarn results in a soft and dense feel. With a 45mm pile height and featuring soft, and maintenance is easy as the pile won't shed like woolen shag rugs. Make this rug the new conversation point in your home or office!
Leona Beige Runner is the answer for the customer who wants a rug that looks at home from day one.
About the make
Produced in Turkey. 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. If a rug is going to sit in a room where life actually happens, polypropylene is the fibre we trust to handle it. With a 45mm pile, this is deep-shag territory — it will feel like sand between your toes, in the best way. 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.
About the look
What is happening at the surface is straightforward. Beige is the most forgiving floor colour we carry — it hides dust, dog hair, and the small disasters of daily life better than almost any other shade. The pattern reads cleanly from across the room and only reveals its detail close up. It is the kind of surface that lets the rest of your room read clearly without competing.
Living with it
Picture polished concrete floors and double-height living spaces with a lot of glazing — that is the kind of room this rug is at home in. Avoid steam, avoid bleach, avoid solvent cleaners. Cool water and mild detergent is the protocol our family uses on every poly rug we own. Pet hair vacuums out cleanly — the fibre does not hold dander the way a natural pile sometimes can. A good shake outdoors once a season and a regular vacuum is the whole maintenance story.
Picking the right size
Runners are about scale, not just length — leave at least 10cm of floor visible on each side of the runner so the hallway doesn't feel boxed in. Our Rug Size Guide has the proportions we recommend.
Leona Beige Runner ends up in the kind of homes where pieces are kept rather than swapped — and that is the highest compliment a rug can earn.
Questions we get asked
Can I put a rug pad underneath?
Yes, and we'd recommend it on hard floors. A pad keeps the rug from slipping, adds a little extra softness underfoot, and helps the pile wear evenly over time.
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.
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.
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 the rug fade in direct sun?
Some fade is possible if a rug sits in direct, unfiltered sun day after day — that's true of any rug. The dyes used here are UV-stabilised and hold up well to the conditions in most Australian rooms.
