Blue Brown Rainbow Rug
This blue brown rainbow rug was hand double knotted in India and measures 420 x 303 cm, which gives it about 12.7 square metres of floor. Horizontal bands of peacock blue, teal and grey blue run down the rug, alternating with soft taupe and brown, and the colours shade gently from one band to the next. It is a contemporary design, also known as Grass, with no border to break up the field.
The design up close
Each band carries a fine diamond lattice texture in a slightly different shade, so the pattern looks textured rather than flat. The lattice is most visible in the brown band near the top third and in the taupe band lower down.
The colours change from top to bottom of this blue brown rainbow rug. The upper part is mostly grey blue and peacock tones, a taupe band and a teal band cross the middle, and the lower part returns to deeper blue. Streaks of lighter and darker tone run across the bands, which gives the surface a brushed look.
There is no border on this blue brown rainbow rug. The bands run edge to edge, and a short fringe marks the ends, so the colour alone carries the design. Because nothing frames the field, the colours sit well against plain walls and simple furniture.
How this hand knotted blue rug is made
Hand double knotting means each knot is tied by a weaver on a loom, and the rug is built up row by row. This hand knotted blue rug is made in India, and our records note hand double knotting. The design can be resized to fit the exact measurements of your place.
Choosing a contemporary rug
Horizontal bands draw the eye along the floor, so this rug suits a long room as well as a lounge. The darker blue bands pair well with grey, timber and white furniture, and the lighter taupe band softens a room that has strong colours elsewhere. Because the rug has no border, place it so the bands run parallel to the longest wall, which keeps the stripes in step with the room.
Sizing a blue brown rainbow rug for your room
At 420 x 303 cm this blue brown rainbow rug suits a large living room. A three-seat sofa of about 2.2 m leaves roughly 100 cm of rug at each end, so the front legs of the sofa and armchairs can sit on the rug around a coffee table. Under a dining table of about 240 x 100 cm, which seats eight, the rug leaves about 90 cm at each end and 102 cm along each side. Its peacock blue and brown bands suit timber floors and light walls.
Looking after your rug
Vacuum it on a suction-only setting, or with the beater bar switched off, so the brush does not pull at the knots. Turn it around every six to twelve months so sun and foot traffic wear it evenly. Blot spills with a clean white cloth and cold water rather than rubbing them in. When it needs a full clean, choose a cleaner who washes handmade rugs by hand.
Put a good underlay beneath it. It stops the rug sliding on timber or tiles, adds cushioning and takes some of the wear off the pile.
