Important Information – Athena Rug
Directional Pile & Shading
The Athena rug is made using a cut pile construction, which naturally reflects light differently depending on the viewing angle. This means the rug may appear lighter or darker from opposite sides — a normal and expected characteristic of cut pile rugs. When brushed in one direction, it can appear lighter or more muted; brushed the other way, deeper tones and details become more visible. Gently brushing the surface after unrolling will help the pile settle evenly.
Lighting & Colour Variation
Due to the layered distressed colour effects and subtle shimmer, tones may shift slightly under different lighting conditions. We recommend referring to our Rug Love photography, which provides the most accurate representation of colour and finish under natural daylight.
🧵 Cut Pile Rug Characteristics
Every rug has a pile direction — the direction in which the fibres run. With a cut pile rug with a shimmer, light reflects off the fibres differently, which can make the rug appear lighter or darker depending on where you are standing. You can see this by looking at the rug from one end of the room, then walking to the other end and looking back — it may appear darker in one direction and lighter in the other. This is not a manufacturing fault but a natural characteristic of cut pile rugs. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding where to place the rug, especially if the appearance of it being lighter or darker from one side might matter in your space. This effect is in ranges such as Aurora, Craft, and Apollo.
