Bremhaus Yealm Oriental Performance Rug

A faded Oriental in ivory and lavender, printed soft and woven low, sized for rooms where the rug reaches the walls instead of floating in the middle.

The Oriental motif is printed soft rather than sharp, so the lavender reads as a tint across ivory instead of a colour statement. It settles under furniture without arguing with it.

• A faded oriental motif

  Vines, florals and a scrolling border are printed soft rather than sharp, so the lavender tint sits low against the ivory ground instead of reading as a bold pattern. From across the room it settles into texture, the kind of faded rug that looks like it has already lived somewhere for years.

• Certified poly, low pile

  The face is machine woven polypropylene, OEKO-TEX certified, meaning the fibers are tested against harmful substances. The number on the spec sheet is pile height, the woven pile itself, at 0.38 inches; the jute backing underneath adds its own thickness, so give a tight doorway a little extra room.

• Three room sizes, no small cuts

  Every size here is already a room size: 9 by 12 feet, 10 by 14 feet, or 11 by 15 feet, with no smaller accent cut offered. The middle size keeps dining chairs on the rug when they are pushed back from the table, and the largest leaves furniture sitting fully on the weave rather than half off it.

• Jute grips, a pad helps more

  The backing is jute, a natural fiber that has some grip on a hard floor rather than skating across it the way a plain synthetic back would. On wood or tile, a thin rug pad still earns its keep here: it stops the corners from curling and keeps a low pile like this one from creeping out of place.

• Very little shedding to expect

  Because the pile is machine woven from polypropylene rather than hand tufted wool, it does not shed much beyond a little loose fiber during the first handful of vacuum passes. A rug this thin does not hold a deep crease from shipping either; unroll it, weight the corners with furniture, and it settles flat within a few days.

• Anchors five different rooms

  The gallery follows this rug into a living room in front of a sofa and round coffee table, the foot of a bedroom bed, a dining room where four chairs stay on the rug when pushed back, an entryway under a console and mirror, and a home office beneath a desk and chair. The muted pattern hides everyday foot traffic well.

• Stain resistant, pet friendly too

  The fiber is rated stain resistant, so a fresh spill tends to sit on the surface long enough to blot up with a clean cloth rather than soak in and set. That same toughness is what makes it rated pet friendly. Vacuum regularly to keep grit from working down into a pile this low and dense.

• The rug arrives, no pad

  What arrives is the rug itself, in the size ordered; a rug pad is not included, so pick one separately if the room's floor needs the extra grip. Let it lie flat for a day or two before setting furniture back in its place, so the weave has time to relax fully.

Good to know

• Every size here is a room size: the smallest is 9 x 12.
• Under a dining table, 10 x 14 keeps the chairs on when they are pulled out.
• In a living room, set the sofa's front feet on the rug to anchor the seating.
• None. Unfold it, lay it flat, and give the crease lines time to settle.
• Furniture and decor shown are styling only. The rug is the product; sizes vary by the option you choose.
