The Emperor 320 Styra EMP20 Aqua Rug delivers a striking, contemporary abstract look defined by its metallic shimmer, soft textured hi-lo pile, and layered distressed patterning. The design blends cascading tonal blocks with fluid, weathered textures, creating a dynamic visual effect that shifts subtly with changing light. The short 12 mm polyblend pile combines smooth, velvety fibres with raised detailing, giving the rug both visual depth and tactile dimension. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a durable polypropylene and polyester blend, this rug offers a soft-touch feel while remaining non-shedding, easy to maintain, and suitable for high-traffic modern homes. The shimmering finish enhances the Aqua and Grey tones, allowing the rug to appear brighter or more muted depending on lighting and viewing angle. Perfect for modern living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, offices, and open-plan spaces, the Emperor Styra Aqua brings a refreshing, contemporary edge — ideal for interiors needing a cool, modern statement piece with texture and personality.

The colours and shades present in this rug include:

• Aqua Green – The standout accent shade, featuring bright and mid-depth aqua tones that bring vibrancy and movement throughout the pattern.

• Teal-Infused Green – Appears in deeper raised sections, adding richness and contrast to the aqua highlights.

• Soft Pearl Grey – Used as a transitional shade between the raised aqua areas and the background, giving balance and a soft, cloudy effect.

• Mid Steel Grey – Found in distressed sections and linear breaks, adding texture and grounding the design.

• Charcoal Grey – Used sparingly within deeper marbled sections to add depth and enhance the abstract structure.

• Warm Off-White – The dominant background tone, creating a light, airy foundation that allows the aqua and greys to stand out.

The Emperor 320 Styra Aqua Rug blends Aqua Green, Teal-Green, Pearl Grey, Steel Grey, Charcoal, and Off-White into a contemporary abstract layout with shimmering highlights and a richly textured hi-lo pile. The polypropylene and polyester fibre blend, short 12 mm pile height, and machine-woven Turkish construction deliver softness, resilience, and low maintenance. Its shifting metallic sheen and layered distressed pattern make it a stylish centrepiece for modern, airy, and nature-inspired interiors, adding freshness, movement, and sophistication to any room.

🧵 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.
