The Elysium Astral ELY01 Gold Runner showcases a swirling marbled pattern that effortlessly blends movement and depth through its refined, modern palette. Crafted with a low-profile 8 mm cut-shrink textured pile, it features a luxurious velvet-touch surface and a subtle metallic shimmer that catches the light beautifully from every angle. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a premium blend of 35% polypropylene, 35% polyester, and 30% shiny shrink polyester, the composition balances softness, durability, and sheen. Supported by a strong jute backing, this rug is built for longevity and everyday practicality, while its short pile height ensures it remains easy to maintain and suitable for high-traffic areas such as living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms.

This design perfectly captures modern sophistication, with its flowing pattern resembling natural stone veining and liquid gold accents that lend an elegant, light-reflective quality. The interplay of warm and cool tones creates a harmonious aesthetic that complements both contemporary and transitional interiors.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Soft Pale Gold – Flowing across the marbled pattern, adding warmth and a subtle metallic richness.

• Taupe – Blended into the swirling sections, grounding the overall palette with earthy depth.

• Stone Grey – Acting as a neutral contrast, cooling the composition and adding balance.

• Ivory – Scattered throughout, brightening the design and creating a light, airy foundation.

• Champagne Sheen – Present within the raised pile sections, catching light for an elegant shimmering effect.

• Pale Beige – Layered softly across the background, adding warmth without overpowering the design.

The Elysium Astral ELY01 Gold Runner features a sophisticated blend of Soft Pale Gold, Taupe, Stone Grey, Ivory, Champagne Sheen, and Pale Beige, resulting in a refined marbled aesthetic that glows subtly under changing light. Its 8 mm low-profile, cut-shrink textured pile combines tactile softness with a lustrous finish, giving the surface a rich, multi-dimensional look. Designed for modern living spaces, this rug pairs visual artistry with practical durability — ideal for those seeking understated glamour with a timeless, contemporary edge.

🧵 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.
