The Elysium Expression ELY02 Pearl Runner presents a bold, sweeping brushstroke design that beautifully combines artistry and sophistication. Its softly layered tones flow across the surface, creating movement and depth reminiscent of a contemporary painted canvas. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a premium blend of 35% polypropylene, 35% polyester, and 30% shiny shrink polyester, this rug features a low-profile 8 mm cut-shrink textured pile that delivers a velvet-touch softness and a subtle metallic sheen. The durable jute backing ensures long-lasting stability and resilience, while the short pile height makes it easy to care for and perfectly suited to modern living spaces, bedrooms, and open-plan interiors.

The interplay of neutral and metallic tones captures light beautifully, creating a refined, light-reflective finish that shifts with changing angles. Blending painterly texture with contemporary design, this rug introduces warmth, depth, and understated luxury to any space.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Pearl White – Acting as the soft dominant background, providing a bright and airy foundation.

• Warm Beige – Applied in bold, sweeping brushstroke patterns, adding warmth and movement across the design.

• Taupe – Softly layered into the brushstroke elements, introducing depth and creating an organic, painterly effect.

• Ivory – Scattered throughout the raised sections, lightening the composition and enhancing contrast.

• Champagne Gold Sheen – Interwoven subtly, catching the light to deliver a refined shimmer and a touch of luxury.

The Elysium Expression ELY02 Pearl Runner combines Pearl White, Warm Beige, Taupe, Ivory, and Champagne Gold Sheen in a harmonious, softly reflective palette. Its 8 mm low-profile, cut-shrink textured pile offers a luxurious yet practical finish, balancing velvet-touch comfort with modern durability. The abstract brushstroke motif creates an artistic centrepiece, while the shimmering accents elevate the look, making this rug a perfect statement for those seeking elegant simplicity with a 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.
