Abstract rugs in the Loft collection

The Loft collection's abstract rugs use high-low sculpted texture rather than printed pattern, so the shapes you see are carved into the pile itself, not dyed onto a flat surface. That gives an abstract design more depth in daylight and lamp light alike, with the raised sections catching light differently to the recessed ones. It sits alongside Checkerboard, Chevron, Geometric and Striped as one of five designs in the collection, all built on the same soft, durable polyester base. Where geometric and striped lean on straight lines, abstract works in looser, organic shapes, making it the more relaxed option if you want texture without a strict pattern to match your furniture against. Prices in the abstract design start at £39 for the smallest size and run to £269 for the largest, across 080×150cm up to 240×340cm.

Colours and sizes for abstract Loft rugs

Abstract comes in all eight Loft colourways, from Ivory and Beige through to Dark Grey and Terra, so you can match a neutral scheme or add a stronger accent shade. For a standard living room with a 3-seater sofa, 160×230cm is the size most households land on, with the front legs of the sofa resting on the rug. Larger open-plan rooms suit 200×290cm or 240×340cm, and there is a 080×300cm runner if you want the abstract design in a hallway.

Caring for an abstract high-low rug

Vacuum an abstract Loft rug regularly to keep the sculpted texture defined, since flattened pile is what dulls an abstract pattern fastest. Spot-clean spills as soon as they happen, even though the polyester finish is fade-resistant, and avoid scrubbing at a stain as repeated scrubbing can flatten the high-low texture over time. The rug is also compatible with underfloor heating, so an abstract design works as well in a renovated open-plan kitchen-diner as it does in a period living room.
