Dunelm has heavily reduced a 'beautiful' rug by £739, which shoppers describe as 'heavy and thick underfoot'. The William Morris At Home Woodland Weeds Wool Rug is now available at a 50% discount in the brand's clearance sale, dropping its price by £739.50.
Design and Inspiration
Inspired by the textile artist's admiration of the natural world, the rug features an intricate design of small flowers, vines, and leaves. Dunelm notes: 'This highly decorative pattern is reminiscent of medieval millefleur, an artistic method of filling the background of paintings or textiles with abundant tiny flowers, flora and fauna; a technique William Morris is known to have admired.'
The rug is available in two colourways: Dewberry, combining forest and emerald greens with oranges and reds, and Meadow, decorated with blues and pinks. It is handcrafted from 100% wool and measures 230cm x 340cm, offering a textured, dimensional surface with unique scalloped edging.
Shopper Reviews
The rug has garnered a 4.8-star rating from customers. One happy shopper remarked: 'This is such a beautiful rug. The design is one of my favourites. The colours are glorious. Its lovely and thick. Quite heavy but really nice underfoot. Such good quality I love it.'
Another added: 'I ordered this rug in the darker Dewberry colour. It arrived well packed and is a beautiful dark rich colour. The rug is very deep and lovely and soft under foot. It is also stunning to look at in the deeper shade. It would enhance any room.'
While most reviews are glowing, one customer noted a negative experience with delivery and shedding, giving a three-star review. However, another shopper countered: 'So very happy with this rug which fits perfectly in my living room. Colours are vibrant and design is stunning. Love the feel and the shape of the rug. Such a great find. Perfect!'
