I love to take inspiration from the outdoors when designing interiors, and the transition from summer to autumn is one of my favourite colour palettes. The great thing about rugs is they are easy to store away and switch to make easy, seasonal decor upgrades- our Washable doormats and rugs are perfect for this, because they can
Plain Fleck Beige Doormat, from £ 25.99, Hug Rug, www. hugathome. co. uk be easily washed and stored away at the end of each season or to suit your mood.
For autumn and winter, our Autumn Leaves rug is a more literal interpretation, incorporating not only the warm beige and orange hues of Autumn leaves but also a hand-painted Autumn leaves pattern to give your home an instant uplift. Alternatively, add plush texture and rich colour with our Sense Rug in Forest Green, a simple but effective way to add plush texture and rich, autumnal greens to any room.”
Comforting spaces with heritage patterns Heritage patterns come to the fore as homeowners seek to create nostalgic spaces that feel cosy and comforting during the colder months, with classic florals and tartan taking centre stage.
“ Our homes are our sanctuaries, and we’ re always looking for ways to make our spaces feel cosier- especially during autumn and winter. This is where heritage patterns come in: familiar and comforting, traditional patterns are an increasingly popular way to make your space feel welcoming, nostalgic and restful. Rugs are also a lovely way to add softness underfoot on hard floors, or to create a plush, layered feel in carpeted rooms. Look to our Isla Plaid Eco Washable Rug to bring an instantly recognisable and versatile splash of plaid to bedrooms, living rooms and hallways, or put our Candy Stripe Doormat in your entryway for a warm welcome every time you step into your home.” Lizzie Mosley, Creative Director at Hug Rug.
Functional and washable flooring Putting practicality first, washable rugs are increasingly favoured in busy households- especially in the wetter autumn and winter seasons where mud, dirt and debris are more likely to be brought back into the house.
Lizzie Mosley says:“ Washable rugs provide low-maintenance flooring year-round, but we find them to be particularly beneficial to have in the home during the colder months.
