Back to the beginning

Hello and welcome to The Real Rug Company, 2012.

We thought we might start off this year by taking a look at the rug that started it all. The rug that looks just as at home in the mahogany confines of an academics library as on the marble floor of a rockstars bedroom... the luxurious Flokati.

We generally concentrate on the 2800g/m2 and 1700g/m2 thicknesses, as these cover the spectrum of an ultra-thick luxurious, warm, centrepiece to the room, but also being affordable to even the most modest of budgets. We can go up to 4000+ g/m2 if you wish.

Our Flokati are made from 100% New Zealand wool, which is widely accepted to be the highest quality wool for making rugs. Wool is naturally stain resistant and in fact actually looks better the more it is used. Over time you will notice your rug get a wonderful lustre and really make itself at home, becoming one of your favourite pieces of furniture.

We have our Flokati made in the homeland of all Flokati, Greece. We have worked with the same factory for many years and as well as being masters of their craft, they are also very nice people to work with too!

Flokati Rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. The rugs originally serviced the shepherds, being used as clothing, beds for tents, keeping them warm during the long winter months. The 5th century Vlachs, who lived in Samarina, the highest Village on the Pindos mountains, were the inventors of the Flokati Rug.

We find the classic off-white is by far the most popular still, though recent years have seen the popularity of the mixed Beige & White increase. This brightens the room up a little more with it's rich almost buttery warmth of tone.
What would your room look like with one of these? If the thought is appealing, give us a call on 02081230557 and let us answer any questions you may have. Alternatively why not order direct from the site and get Free Deliveries if your order is over £70 and in mainland UK...free 7 day returns apply too!

We look forward to hearing from you.

regards

We wish you a Merry Christmas

...and a Happy New Year!

It has been an eventful year for us, we are getting busier and busier, and we are increasing our range as often as possible. Have you seen our Made To Order options, found underneath most rugs? (See the example of the Highlander rugs here)

You simply put the sizes you require into the boxes, and choose the delivery schedule you would prefer, and the total you would pay is shown for you.

We were very excited about our Pure Silk and our Bamboo rugs that arrived late on this year. Most surprising was that we could not tell which was which, they were both that soft! I can highly recommend the Bamboo rugs as they are very inexpensive and it will be the softest, nicest rug you buy all year, guaranteed! The "viscose" content in these is Eucaplyptus too, which we found interesting.

And the success story of the year..? Our Reindeer Hides! These have been flying out again, and we have barely been able to keep up with the demand. But we managed... The colouring on these is amazing.

Once again, we wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to seeing you in 2012!

All the best
The Real Rug Company

New Stock Order!

Now that the nights are really drawing in there is nothing nicer than sitting in front of a roaring fire, and what would be better to compliment the scene than one of our lovely rugs?! Soft and luxurious underfoot our rugs bring warmth to any room. We have a wide range to suit all tastes available on the website.

Stuart and Paul will also be placing a new stock order in the coming weeks so if there is anything currently showing as unavailable, or if you have an idea for a rug that we just don't stock, why not contact us? We are always happy to help!

A million new rugs now available on the real rug company

Yes, it sounds like a big number,  but seeing as you can choose the exact size and colour of your new rug, then the possibilities are endless ... and strictly speaking it is an under-exageration.

http://www.therealrugcompany.co.uk/flokati_shop/index_mto_rugs.htm - you will find about 70 new styles that are only made to order.

Throughout the rest of the website, you will find that our most popular rugs can now easily be ordered in any dimensions you choose.

So if you want a Highlander rug that is 5meters by 10 meters, you can simply order it online.

Also we now have a colour sample box, which can be loaned out (for a deposit), so you can choose exactly the sahde of rug you want. This is especially good for our new Bamboo viscose rugs and silk rugs.

The new Bamboo viscose rugs are really really nice. It is hard to tell the difference from the pure silk ones.

100 new cowhides in stock

We have 100 new cowhides in stock.

They will be available as soon as the website s back online  (our hosts server was flooded in Copenhagen)

We particularly like the new giraffe print
