Choosing a flatweave rug
A flatweave is woven on the loom with no pile standing up from the surface. That makes it thin, light and low, so it sits under doors, lets dining chairs slide and is quick to vacuum. Most of this range is from Rug Culture, with designer flatweaves from Asiatic and Brink & Campman.
Pick the fibre for the room
"Flatweave" describes the construction, not the material, and the fibre decides how the rug behaves:
- Polypropylene and polyester: easiest care. A good fit for dining rooms, kitchens, kids' rooms and homes with pets
- Wool and wool blends: softer and warmer, for living rooms and bedrooms
- Jute: natural texture for dry, lower-traffic rooms. Blot dry only
- Cotton: light and relaxed, best in bedrooms and studies
The material is listed in the specifications on each product page. Use the material filter to narrow the range.
What to expect
Flatweaves have less cushioning than pile rugs and can move or ripple on hard floors. A rug pad fixes both. Creases from rolling are normal and drop out within a few days of laying the rug flat.
Sizes and prices
You'll find small rugs from about 160x100cm, runners up to 400cm long and large rugs up to 400x300cm. Prices start under $100 for small synthetic rugs. Designer wool flatweaves cost more. See the size guide to choose.
