Dunelm’s Marlo Rug has been slashed by 50% in the online sale — starting from just £12.50 for the orange colourway — and shoppers are raving about its plush, foot-sinking comfort. It’s also available in five other colours at full price.
Transforming the appearance and atmosphere of a room doesn’t have to be costly or labour-intensive. Introducing a rug to a living space not only establishes a unified, inviting aesthetic, but safeguards flooring and introduces texture and colour to an area.
At Dunelm, there’s an ‘excellent quality’ rug that customers are snapping up while it’s been slashed in the high-street retailer’s online sale. The Marlo Rug in orange has been cut by 50%, though only for a limited period.
Dunelm’s Marlo Rug 80cm x 150cm (2.5ft x 5ft) was originally £25, but shoppers can now secure it for merely £12.50. The marginally larger version, 120cm x 170cm (4ft x 5.5ft), is now available for £19.50 rather than £39.
The Marlo Rug is an outstanding option for introducing a dose of comfort and style into your living space. Crafted with a ‘foot-sinking’, ultra-soft texture, it delivers a sumptuous and indulgent sensation underfoot that’s perfect for hectic, active households.
Regarding practicality and upkeep, the rug is adaptable and safe for use over underfloor heating. To guarantee it lies flat against your floor, it’s advisable to re-roll the rug pile outwards for 24 hours after delivery to reduce any curling, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For continued maintenance, you should rotate the rug periodically to promote even wear, employ an anti-slip mat to secure it firmly in position, and address any unexpected spillages by promptly blotting them with a clean, dry cloth instead of rubbing.
The Marlo Rug is offered in five additional colours, though these alternatives are not discounted and available at full price. The rug is available in amber gold, olive, pebble brown, steeple grey and teal.
Meanwhile, Dusk’s Hand Woven Wool Checkerboard Rug 120cm x 170xm costs £85. Striking yet perfectly harmonious, the design combines colour and texture seamlessly.
Hand-woven from wool, this rug showcases a gentle checkerboard pattern in a deep forest green shade that adds depth and cosiness to a space. It’s an excellent option for living areas, bedrooms or anywhere requiring a touch of grounding.
Alternatively, the Montana Vintage Design Living Room Area Rug has been slashed by 40% at Debenhams, now priced from £29.95 instead of £49.92. Offered in cream, beige, taupe, and grey, its detailed oriental motif and subtle colour gradations bring a refined character to any space, whether it’s the lounge, bedroom, kitchen, or hallway.
Back at Dunelm, the Marlo Rug has achieved an overall rating of 4.6 out of five based on more than 640 reviews. One pleased customer said: “Such a lovely rug, great colour and cleans well. Would recommend.” A second customer wrote: “This rug is a best buy because it adds a splash of colour to the front room. I love walking barefoot on it. Thank you Dunelm.”
“Gorgeous rug,” a third penned. “Excellent quality and great value for money. Bought for lounge to protect my pale carpet.
“Provides an extra level of cosy comfort underfoot. Fast and efficient delivery service. Rug arrived tightly rolled but laid flat as soon as it was rolled out.”
However, one shopper wasn’t quite as taken with the Marlo Rug, awarding it three stars. The review states: “It’s a lovely rug, just not very thick as I expected. It does what I needed it for in a bedroom for the price I paid.
“Its ok, quality is not as anticipated,” another less enthusiastic review states. “But it will do for now. Would I recommend? Probably not. Would I buy again? No, its thin, and I don’t really like the sewn edging. It will be replaced as soon as I can find a replacement.”
Yet another customer was delighted with their recent Dunelm buy, commenting: “The rug is to use for the spring and summer season replacing my much larger rug I use in winter. The rug is a lovely colour and fits well into my décor. My cat also likes lying on it.”
A further five-star review states: “It is excellent. I had purchased a rug from a large expensive department store and it wasn’t of good quality and was looking for a replacement. This rug is of excellent quality and I am very satisfied with my purchase.”
