Ultra soft-touch rugs, available in a spectrum of trendy designs and fashion colours, the Chiapas collection, which is woven from Microfiber yarn, is sure to elevate any room out of the ordinary. These rugs with their lustrous sheen and non-shedding low pile construction, are the perfect accessory for every type of interior, but work particularly well in bedrooms and living-spaces. Owning a durable, hard-wearing Chiapas, is not only a pleasure, their soft texture will have you feeling as if you're walking on clouds.
We do not over-stock; Chiapas Black stays in the range because customers keep coming back for the larger sizes.
About the look
Looked at honestly, the design is doing two things. A black-grounded rug pulls a room together with quiet authority, especially in spaces with strong white walls or a lot of glass. The design holds its proportions at every size we run — the medium and large sizes do not look like enlarged versions of the smaller piece. Up close, you can see how the colour shifts slightly across the pile — that subtle variation is what stops the surface looking printed.
What's under the surface
Belgian Wilton-woven. The Wilton tradition in Belgium produces rugs with extremely fine pattern detail — the kind of edge clarity that holds up under close inspection. We like polyester for shaggies and luxe-pile pieces because it takes deep colour beautifully and stays soft over years of use. 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. The construction is built to take the daily compression of foot traffic without flattening through the centre.
Picking the right size
If this is going under a dining table, measure the table and add at least 60cm on each side so the chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. The Rug Size Guide walks through the details.
How it handles real life
Day to day, it is a comfortable fit in Federation cottages and weatherboard renovations where warm timber floors are the starting point — exactly the kind of space most of our customers are decorating. Polyester takes well to spot-cleaning — a damp cloth, cool water, and mild detergent will handle most everyday spills. Rotate the rug end-to-end every few months so foot traffic wears evenly across the surface.
Order with confidence: this is one of the pieces our customers most often write back to tell us about.
Things customers ask
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.
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.
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.
Do you offer samples?
We don't typically send physical samples — most of our customers find the photos and our written notes get them close enough. If you want extra photos in natural light, message us and we'll send them through.
Can I return it if it isn't right?
Yes — we offer a clear returns window because we know a rug needs to be seen in the actual room. The details are on our returns page, and we'll talk you through it if anything is unclear.
