Argos Shoppers Snap Up £22 Rug That's 'Easy to Hoover'
Shoppers wanting to spruce up their home while keeping it cosy may find a rug with subtle pops of colour is just what they need. Argos shoppers have been loving the Habitat Vintage Effect Grey Flatweave Runner for its good quality feel and gorgeous vintage-effect pattern, saying it looks more expensive than its £22.50 price tag.
Crafted in Turkey, the runner comes in a selection of colours and sizes, including grey, blue, neutral, green, and red. The size 80cm x 150cm option is priced at £22.50. The runner also features woven backing grips, ideal for keeping the rug in place and preventing slipping. It is said to hold up well to daily wear, feeling comfortable underfoot and perfectly designed to fit most spaces.
It is worth noting that the product requires professional cleaning to help preserve its quality and colour over time. However, some shopper reviews have mentioned that the rug is easy to hoover, so it is advisable to check the description thoroughly to ensure you get the most value out of the item.
Product Description and Details
The product description for the Habitat Vintage Effect Blue Flatweave Runner reads: "Bring character and warmth to your floors with this vintage-style flatweave rug that softens your space with faded blue tones and an intricate pattern. The distressed finish adds charm to your lounge or hallway, while the cotton-rich blend feels comfortable underfoot and combines natural texture with practical strength. It's woven to lie flat without bunching or curling at the edges, so it sits neatly in narrower spaces like hallways and beside beds where a larger rug won't work."
It continues: "The woven backing grips hard floors securely, so there's no need for a separate gripper or underlay. It's made in Turkey with a flatweave construction that keeps the surface smooth and even. Professional cleaning maintains the vintage character and keeps it looking fresh over time. Whether you're updating a hallway or adding texture to a living room, this runner delivers classic style that works with both traditional and modern interiors."
