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.
August Navy reads more confidently in person than in any photograph we have managed to take of it.
Practical notes
Among the rooms our customers describe to us, in a Tweed Heads beach house where the climate calls for something that handles humidity without complaint is the most common context for a piece like this. Cleaning protocol is intentionally simple: blot fresh spills, vacuum weekly, get a professional clean every few years if it sees heavy use. Vacuum once a week, spot-treat the inevitable accidents, and the rug does not ask for anything else.
About the look
The colour story matters here. A navy rug doesn't shout. It anchors the room and lets everything sitting on it look more deliberate. Stand a metre back and the pattern recedes into texture — that quality is why the rug reads calm rather than busy. From above, the surface has a quiet visual rhythm — close up, the construction details start to show.
Built and finished
Underneath the look, woven in Turkey. 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. Heat-set polypropylene yarns hold their twist for years — that is what stops the pile flattening under a coffee table or sofa leg. Build quality holds up to close inspection — there are no shortcuts in the weave or the finish.
Sizing
Have a tape measure handy before you commit — our Rug Size Guide has the layouts most of our customers end up choosing.
We sell a lot of August Navy, and the reason is straightforward — it does the work without making a fuss.
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.
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.
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.
How thick is the rug overall?
The total thickness includes the pile plus the backing — for most of our rugs, that ends up somewhere between 8mm and 30mm depending on the pile listed. If you need a precise figure for a door clearance, message us and we'll measure.
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.
