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.
Customers tend to commit to Novas Light Grey Dark Grey after looking at it twice. There is something honest about the construction that survives a second look.
Day-to-day
In practice, picture blackbutt floorboards and soft Dulux Whisper White interiors — 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 handles a Labrador, a Cavoodle, or two of each. We have heard variations on that brief many times. Drag a chair, drop a fork, knock over the wine — this construction tolerates all three.
On the design
What is happening at the surface is straightforward. A grey-toned rug is the easiest way to anchor a room without committing to a strong palette. The pattern reads cleanly from across the room and only reveals its detail close up. It plays nicely with a low timber coffee table, a linen sofa, and the kind of considered clutter most lived-in rooms accumulate.
Built and finished
Woven in Turkey. Turkey has been the centre of rug-making for centuries, and the power-loom tradition that came out of Anatolia in the late 20th century is what makes a piece like this possible at a sensible price. Modern polypropylene is a long way from the scratchy synthetic of twenty years ago. Soft underfoot, dense in the weave, and entirely washable. This is a 15mm pile — soft, considered, with enough density to spring back from foot traffic without flattening. Look at the underside and you can see how dense the weave actually is — it is the part of the rug that does the real work.
Picking the right size
Most of our customers go a size larger than their first instinct. Our Rug Size Guide explains why.
If the rest of your room is settled, Novas Light Grey Dark Grey will not unsettle it.
FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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 it sit flat once unrolled?
Almost always within 24–48 hours. If you see any waves from the rolled packaging, lay the rug pile-up in the room and let it relax overnight — gravity does the rest. For stubborn corners, rolling the rug briefly in the opposite direction usually does it.
