The Emperor 320 Styra EMP20 Gold Runner brings a luxurious, contemporary statement to any space with its layered abstract marbled design and soft metallic shimmer that shifts beautifully with changing light. The pattern blends weathered textures, stone-like veining, and fluid tonal transitions, creating a dynamic sense of depth and natural movement across the surface. This visual richness is elevated by a textured hi-low pile, giving the rug a tactile, sculptural dimension that feels both modern and refined. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a polypropylene and polyester blend, the rug offers a super-soft 12 mm pile that feels plush underfoot while remaining durable, non-shedding, and easy to maintain. The light-reactive fibres allow the rug to appear lighter or darker depending on the angle and lighting, adding an elegant atmospheric finish that enhances the abstract design. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan contemporary interiors, the Emperor Styra Gold Rug introduces warmth, texture, and elevated modern character without overwhelming the room.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Soft Muted Gold – The defining highlight shade, adding warmth, radiance, and a gentle metallic glow throughout the marbled pattern.

• Warm Beige – Used across the mid-tones to soften transitions and enhance the natural stone-like effect.

• Ivory – Lightly dispersed in raised sections to brighten the palette and enhance the hi-low pile texture.

• Pewter Grey – Found in cooler marbled areas to balance the warmth of the gold and add depth.

• Taupe Brown – Visible in distressed detailing, grounding the design with subtle earthy contrast.

• Light Silver Grey – Used in smoother streaks to add reflective dimension and a contemporary soft-neutral base.

The Emperor 320 Styra EMP20 Gold Runner blends Soft Muted Gold, Warm Beige, Ivory, Pewter Grey, Taupe Brown, and Silver Grey to create a beautifully balanced modern palette enriched by its luxurious 12 mm hi-low textured pile and light-reactive sheen. Crafted from a durable polyblend and designed with contemporary abstract artistry, it delivers both comfort and elevated sophistication, making it an ideal centrepiece for stylish, warm-toned, and modern 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.
