A statement of style, this collection features bold, contemporary designs. Machine woven to the highest quality in Turkey, these rugs feature a easy care polypropylene fiber to complement your home.
Novas Grey Turquoise is one of those rugs where the photo doesn't quite do justice to how it reads in person.
What's under the surface
Underneath the look, from Turkey's long power-loom tradition. 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 does not hold odour the way wool can, which matters in a home with pets or open-plan cooking. 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. Build quality holds up to close inspection — there are no shortcuts in the weave or the finish.
How it looks
Worth a moment on the look of it. Grey rugs sit quietly in a room and let the rest of the space do the talking — it's why they outsell almost everything else we carry. Up close you can see how the dye sits in the fibre — saturated, even, with none of the patchiness of a cheaper construction. It plays nicely with a low timber coffee table, a linen sofa, and the kind of considered clutter most lived-in rooms accumulate.
Living with it
In a real Australian room, 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. Spot-clean with mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals — they're not needed and can damage the dye. We have laid one of these under our own dining table for several years; it still reads as new.
On sizing
Most of our customers go a size larger than their first instinct. Our Rug Size Guide explains why.

Common questions
Will this rug shed?
No, not in the meaningful sense. Synthetic pile is heat-set rather than spun from short staple fibres, so you may see a small amount of fibre in the first week and very little after that.
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.
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 cut the rug to size?
We don't recommend cutting a finished rug — the edges are bound and the construction relies on that binding to stay intact. If you need a custom size, message us and we'll see what's possible.
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.
