Bremhaus Parrett Abstract Performance Rug

Parrett brings an abstract field of warm and cool color into the room, with rectangles, rounds and squares that let the pattern meet the space.

The abstract pattern gives the room movement without fixing it to one period or theme. It can sit beneath a sofa or table and still feel at home as the rest of the room changes.

• Color that moves, not a motif

  The pattern reads like a wide, marbled wash rather than a repeating print: rust red and orange bleed into ocean blue and olive green, broken by a pale ivory streak off center. Because the color moves rather than repeats, the rug reads as one surface instead of a grid of tiles.

• Machine woven, low pile

  This is a printed, machine woven face in polypropylene, not a hand knotted or hand tufted rug, so the pattern is dyed into a low, dense pile rather than carved by hand. The edge is bound in black cord rather than fringed, and a latex backing on the underside helps it lie flat out of the box.

• Pick the size for the room

  This rug comes in a full range of sizes, from a small accent up to a large rectangle, plus round and square cuts. In a living room, pick a size that lets the front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on the rug. In a dining room, leave enough rug past the table that a chair stays on it when pushed back to stand.

• A pad keeps it in place

  A rug pad is recommended under this rug and is not included. On a hard floor it stops the rug creeping underfoot, keeps the corners from curling into a trip hazard, and adds a little cushion the low pile does not have on its own. Buy the pad slightly smaller than the rug so it never peeks out from the edge.

• No shedding, some creasing at first

  Polypropylene does not shed loose fiber the way a wool pile does, so there is no fluff to sweep up in the first weeks. The rug does arrive rolled, so expect a curled edge and a crease or two out of the box. Lay it flat and let it settle for a few days and the roll relaxes on its own.

• Built for rooms that get used

  The printed polypropylene face is a durable pick for a living room, a hallway or an entryway that sees constant foot traffic, and it is rated for indoor use only. Keep it off a covered porch, a mudroom that gets wet boots, or anywhere it will take rain, since damp will mark the face over time.

• Vacuum it, skip the beater bar

  Vacuum with the beater bar switched off or removed, since a spinning brush can fuzz a printed pile like this one. Blot a spill right away with a clean, dry cloth instead of rubbing it in, since rubbing can push color deeper into the fiber. For a deep clean beyond routine vacuuming, call a professional rather than a home carpet shampooer.

• What comes in the box

  The rug ships rolled in a single box. Nothing else is in the box: a rug pad and any furniture shown in the photos are not included. There is no manufacturer warranty, so check the size and color against your room before it arrives, since a rug this size is awkward to return once it has been unrolled.

Good to know

• 6′7″ × 9′ is the smallest rectangle, suited to a compact seating or dining plan.
• Round or square 7′8″ suits a centered layout where equal width and length matter.
• 9′ × 12′ through 11′ × 15′ suits larger rooms with more furniture on the rug.
• No assembly. Position the rug in the room.
• Furniture and decor shown are styling only. The rug is the product; sizes vary by the option you choose.
