The Novu Mirage NOV01 Light Grey Rug features an 11.5mm plush hi-low cut pile with a delicate metallic shimmer that creates a smooth, light-responsive finish across the surface. Machine-woven in Turkey from a durable 65% polypropylene and 35% polyester blend, it is non-shedding, resilient, and easy to maintain, making it suitable for everyday modern living. The rug is backed with natural jute to ensure stability and a secure, flat lay. Soft underfoot with a refined, contemporary appearance, it is well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, and open-plan interiors.

This design showcases a structured geometric pattern layered with a softly distressed outer border, creating a refined balance between precision and texture. The interplay of matte and subtly shimmering fibres adds gentle variation in tone and depth, allowing the rug to appear lighter or darker depending on lighting and viewing angle. The palette remains understated and modern, offering a clean, elegant foundation that integrates seamlessly into neutral and contemporary décor schemes.

The colours and shades present in this rug include:

• Light Grey – Forming the dominant base tone, providing a soft and versatile neutral foundation.

• Silver – Highlighted in the raised geometric linework, adding a subtle metallic sheen and refined visual lift.

• Steel Grey – Present in the distressed border areas, introducing depth and framing the central pattern.

• Charcoal – Lightly dispersed through darker sections, enhancing contrast and giving the design definition.

• Ivory – Softly woven throughout to brighten the composition and maintain a clean, airy finish.

The Novu Mirage NOV01 Light Grey Rug combines Light Grey, Silver, Steel Grey, Charcoal, and Ivory to create a contemporary geometric design with layered depth and subtle light-responsive movement. With its 11.5mm plush hi-low pile, polypropylene–polyester durability, and velvet-like softness, it offers a balanced blend of luxury, comfort, and everyday practicality. Ideal for modern interiors, it introduces understated structure and elegance without overwhelming the space.

🧵 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.
