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.
Look closely at August Cream Luxe Carved Hallway Runner and the thing you'll notice first is the way the colour holds together.
About the look
Looked at honestly, the design is doing two things. Cream-based rugs sit comfortably in almost any palette — they brighten without bleaching the room out. Design-wise, the surface is restrained enough to layer with strong artwork or strong upholstery without competing. The design is balanced enough to centre a coffee table and quiet enough to let a strong artwork dominate above it.
Construction
In one line: From Turkey's long power-loom tradition. The Turkish weaving industry has refined power-loom production to a point where the result is genuinely close to the look of a traditionally woven rug. What polypropylene gives up in heritage feel it more than makes back in colourfastness and easy upkeep. The 20mm pile is what gives this rug its plush hand-feel. It is best in rooms where comfort matters more than vacuum frequency. 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.
Picking the right size
A runner needs to leave a hand's-width of floor visible at each end of the hallway — see our Rug Size Guide for the room-by-room guidance.
How it handles real life
Day to day, this is the kind of piece that works in a Hobart sandstone home with stone floors that benefit from the weight of a substantial rug. Wipe spills with a damp cloth, vacuum on a regular setting, and rotate the rug end-to-end once a year. Nothing else is required. Pet hair vacuums out cleanly — the fibre does not hold dander the way a natural pile sometimes can. We have laid one of these under our own dining table for several years; it still reads as new.
Pick this one up if you want a rug you don't have to think about again.
Common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Does it work with a robot vacuum?
Yes for low and medium piles. For the deeper shaggies in our range, a robot vacuum will struggle a bit — you'll get better results with a regular upright on a higher setting.
