Dusk has reduced its Zahra Persian Style Machine Washable Rug to £32 from £45, offering shoppers a practical alternative to traditional Persian-style rugs that require specialist cleaning. The rug features an intricate Persian-inspired pattern in a soft sage shade, with warm, earthy tones that suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Design and Sizes
The Zahra rug is available in two sizes: 120 x 170cm or 160 x 230cm, with the larger sage version reduced from £75 to £53. It can be styled in living rooms, bedrooms or dining areas, adding texture and character without overpowering the space.
One of its standout features is the machine-washable design, which makes it particularly practical for busy homes where keeping rugs clean can be a challenge. The rug is lightweight with a low-profile finish, allowing users to lift, move and clean it more easily than a traditional heavy rug.
Besides sage, the rug comes in three other colours: burnt orange, rose or natural light/grey, with prices varying. The rose version currently costs £38.25, down from £45, with code EXTRA15, and measures 120 x 170cm.
Shopper Reviews
The Zahra Persian Style Machine Washable Rug has been rated highly by Dusk shoppers. One said: “Lovely rug, soft underfoot and great quality. The colour is exactly as shown in the pictures and it looks beautiful in my room. It has really helped bring the whole space together. Very pleased with my purchase."
Another added: "This rug is absolutely brilliant. Incredibly soft, beautiful colour/print and machine washable. Because I used my Dusk points I essentially got it for free. Amazing!"
This shopper wrote: "The rug is of a lovely quality and so much softer than I thought it was going to be. I was a bit worried about it being folded to begin with but the creases are coming out more and more each day and look gorgeous in our living room."
Another commented: "Absolutely what I wanted. Good quality, thick. Love them for my new home." This shopper added: "I wanted it by my bed, it fits perfectly, the colours are soft and so is the fabric! Not at all disappointed, oh and it's a non-slip back too. Thanks once again Dusk, a very happy customer."
Other Options and Alternatives
One customer said: "Absolutely lovely, great value, and the colour is amazing and looks really expensive! Very soft!" This person wrote: "Very happy with my rug so soft." Another said: "Could not ask for more for the money! Great size and lovely neutral colours, looks great on a wooden floor."
Some disagreed slightly, with this buyer saying: "A beautifully soft rug with a very gentle pattern. It is gorgeous to walk on with bare feet. The only issue is it came folded into a small square size and the folds still remain after more than two weeks opened up flat on the floor. And ironing doesn't seem possible because of the rubber backing. Rolling it for transport may have prevented those creases?" Another said: "Good quality rug. The colour is more pinky grey than natural."
