Introducing August, our latest rug collection that combines the charm of hand-made boho rugs with the convenience of modern manufacturing. These machine-made rugs in Turkey mimic the hand-made look of boho rugs, featuring a unique texture that is both trendy and timeless.
Pull August Cream Plush Carved Modern out of its wrapping in your living room and the first thing that registers is the weight of it.
How it looks
Cream-based rugs sit comfortably in almost any palette — they brighten without bleaching the room out. Up close, the construction details emerge; from across the room, the rug reads as a single restrained colour field. Layered over a hard floor, it gives a room the visual weight it usually needs at floor level.
Construction
At a glance: Anatolian-woven. Turkey remains the place where heritage design and modern weaving meet most comfortably — you get the look of a hand-knotted rug at a fraction of the cost. Polypropylene fibre handles wine, juice, and muddy paws with a damp cloth and a bit of patience — which is why we recommend it to most growing families. At 20mm of pile, this is a true sink-your-feet-in shaggy. Selvedges are finished cleanly so the rug sits flush against itself without curling at the edges.
Day-to-day
Picture polished concrete floors and off-white walls — that is the kind of room this rug is at home in. Vacuum, blot, and live with it. That is genuinely the entire maintenance instruction for a rug like this. It tolerates open doors, indoor-outdoor traffic, and the dust that an Australian summer drags in across a polished concrete floor.
Which 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.
August Cream Plush Carved Modern is the kind of buy you make once, lay down, and stop thinking about.
Things customers ask
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.
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.
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.
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.
