Are you a romantic soul? Then you'll find Laura Ashley's rugs irresistible. With their floral prints and stylish motifs, they add instant class and cosiness to your interior. The handmade beauties in natural materials also lend themselves to the most diverse styles. From rural and rustic to classic and timeless.
Some Laura Ashley rug prints hark back to iconic collections of yesteryear. Others are refreshingly new.
In 1950s London, Laura and her husband Bernard started printing fabrics and designing patchwork quilts. A little later, a hype arose around colourful, printed scarves. Style icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Liz Taylor and Grace Kelly wore them gracefully tied around the head.
In the 1970s, scarves were popping up all over the streets. Laura Ashley capitalised on the trend and extended its signature patterns to textiles, accessories, crockery, you name it.
Laura Ashley had an incredible design talent. She became known worldwide for her floral and elegant designs. And she was an influential fashion and interior designer for decades.
Times change. Fashion evolves. But some styles are so timeless that they effortlessly span decades. That rugs from Laura Ashley exude the atmosphere of yesteryear, yet are up-to-date.
The designs look opulent and lavish, with a nod to the English countryside. Inspired by the heritage of past collections, but perfectly at home in today's interiors.
They also match the same brand's paint, wallpaper and fabric collections. Useful if you like to dress up your whole home in the typical Laura Ashley atmosphere.
At the same time, rugs lend themselves to combinations with totally different styles. Moreover, you can make a big impact even with just one rug.
The sustainable rugs are handmade from natural materials such as wool, cotton and bamboo silk:
Wool - soft, warm and naturally resilient. Wool insulates well, is fireproof and relatively easy to clean.
Cotton - warm, strong and hard-wearing. Cotton has an airy feel, is low-maintenance and absorbs moisture well.
Bamboo silk - the eco-friendly version of real silk. Bamboo fibres are breathable and antibacterial - ideal if you have an allergic reaction to fabric.
A number of carpets are made of the plastic polypropylene. Thanks to the colourfast and stain-resistant properties of that material, they are suitable for outdoor use or high-traffic areas. Finally, there are some doormats in coir in the collection. The rough, hard fibres scrape the dirt from your shoes so that your home is always kept tidy.
"Decorating isn't about colours, carpets and textiles. It's about expressing your personality." This statement by Laura Ashley speaks volumes. Your interiors should reflect your personality, and fit your lifestyle.
In Laura Ashley's collection, you will find rugs in different styles:
soft, natural tones evoking a homely atmosphere

Striped patterns for a sleek look
