The Belgravia Illusion BLG02 Anthracite Rug showcases a bold, modern abstract pattern defined by angular geometric-inspired linework layered over a distressed anthracite backdrop. This dynamic design plays with light and texture, creating an illusion-like effect that draws the eye and adds depth to any interior. Crafted in Turkey from a polyblend of 60% polypropylene and 40% polyester, it features a cotton backing for added stability and a 12mm hi-low short pile that delivers both softness and resilience underfoot. The metallic sheen and velvet-touch finish introduce an elegant lustre that subtly shifts tone with changing light, enhancing the rug’s contemporary sophistication.

The colours and shades present in this rug include:

• Anthracite Grey – The dominant background tone, providing a strong and modern foundation that grounds the design.

• Charcoal Black – Prominent within the angular, illusion-like linework, giving structure, contrast, and striking depth.

• Steel Grey – Blended throughout the distressed areas, balancing darker and lighter tones for a smooth tonal gradient.

• Silver Grey – Highlighted within the raised hi-low pile, adding a metallic shimmer that reflects light for added dimension.

• Smoke Grey – Softly diffused through transitional sections, contributing a weathered, layered appearance.

• Ash White – Subtle lighter accents interwoven within distressed details, brightening the overall design and softening contrast.

The Belgravia Illusion Anthracite Rug delivers designer appeal, texture, and practicality in perfect harmony, bringing high-end style to contemporary interiors.

🧵 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.
