A double-ply yarn
Two strands twisted into one before weaving, which is what keeps the pile springy instead of flattening.

Size
Sofa, armchairs and table all on the pile.
Leaves a proper border of floor in a large room. Under a UK king bed it reaches past both bedside tables.
60 mm total height — too thick for most internal doors. Keep it clear of door swings.
Asiatic recommend an anti-slip underlay for this rug — it stops the rug creeping on hard floors, takes the wear instead of the pile, and is softer underfoot.

Description
Acknowledging the trend for Berber-inspired styles, our Alto collection combines a cool, tonal colour palette with a luxuriously deep pile. Presented in versatile cream and grey, this rug offers a contemporary spin on the traditional Moroccan look. It’s machine-woven in Turkey using dense, highly textured yarns that are not only warm, soft and authentically shaggy, but practical too. Perfect for sinking feet into after a long day, its distinctive diamond design will work anywhere – from bedrooms to hallways.

Return shipping is at your cost unless the item arrives damaged, defective or incorrect — in which case we cover it. If anything arrives damaged, send us a photo within 7 days and we will replace it or refund you in full.
Care
Please use a suction only vacuum cleaner as a beater-bar vacuum cleaner could damage the pile. Do not spill liquids as this will damage the pile. Never rub a spill, only blot with a clean white cotton cloth. If a stain cannot be removed seek specialist advice. Do not machine wash. We recommend the use of an anti-slip pad to reduce trip hazards and protect the floor surface. To protect the colours, keep away from direct sunlight. Keep away from fire.
Guidelines only — always refer to the care label attached to your rug.
Which size do I need?
The furniture sets the scale, not the room. Pick the piece the rug has to work with and match it — a well-placed smaller rug still does the job.
What size for a 3-seater sofa? 160 × 230 cm puts the front legs on the pile. 200 × 290 cm brings the whole sofa on. Match the sofa, not the room.
How far from the wall? 20–30 cm of bare floor in a small room, 40–50 cm in a larger one. Don't stretch it to the skirting.
Too big or too small? Too big, as long as a border of floor still shows. A rug that is too small makes the sofa and table look unrelated.
How much rug past the table? About 60 cm on every side. That is the pull-out clearance, so chair legs stay on the rug when someone stands up.
What size for a six-seater? 160 × 230 cm is the smallest that works, with chairs close to the edge. 200 × 290 cm is comfortable.
Which pile suits a dining room? A low pile or flatweave — chairs slide instead of catching.
What size under a king bed? A UK king is roughly 193 × 203 cm. 240 × 340 cm reaches past both bedside tables and looks finished.
And a double? 200 × 290 cm is modest but works. Aim for 40–60 cm of rug at the sides and foot so you land on it getting up.
Can I spend less? Yes — two runners either side of the bed do the same job.
How wide should a runner be? Around 66 cm is standard, leaving 10–20 cm of floor each side.
Where should it start? A little way in from the front door, clear of the door swing.
Will it slip? Not with an anti-slip underlay, which Asiatic recommend for most of their rugs.
Available in 240 x 340 cm·160 x 230 cm·200 x 290 cm
Double-ply pile, 50 mm
Deep enough to sink your feet into. It won't clear most interior doors, so plan it for the middle of a room.
Machine woven in Turkey
Power-loomed for an even, repeatable weave — the reason this one is hard-wearing and easy to live with.
