Amazonia Leaf Design Short Pile Rug 160×230cm – Washable Non-Slip Living Room Rug

Botanical and tropical print rugs have become one of the most enduring interior design trends of recent years — and this Amazonia leaf design rug brings the lush, layered aesthetic of a tropical rainforest floor into your living space with confidence. The large-scale leaf print is rendered in rich, nature-inspired tones on a short pile that's practical for daily living: resilient underfoot, washable in the machine, and flat enough for furniture to sit on without the legs catching. The non-slip backing prevents rug movement on smooth hard floors. At 160 × 230 cm, it anchors a standard living room seating area perfectly. From Rubber Matting Direct with free UK delivery.

Buying Guide

For a living room rug, the 160 × 230 cm size suits rooms where the sofa front legs or the entire seating group sits on the rug. A useful guide: all four legs of the main sofa on the rug creates a more formal, contained look; front legs only creates a more casual, spacious feel. Botanical and tropical print rugs work best in rooms with neutral walls (white, cream, grey) where the rug becomes the focal print element of the scheme.

Installation & Care

Install: Lay flat on hard floor or low-pile carpet. The non-slip backing holds without adhesive. Use a rug gripper if placing on thick-pile carpet.

Care: Vacuum regularly (short pile releases dirt easily). Machine wash at 30°C on a large-capacity machine (10 kg+ drum recommended). Air dry flat or tumble dry on low. Do not iron the printed pile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 160×230cm rug fit in a domestic washing machine?

A rug of this size requires a washing machine with at least a 10 kg drum capacity. Many households have 8–9 kg machines which will struggle. At a local laundrette with commercial-capacity machines, this rug can be machine washed easily. The rug can also be spot-cleaned with a mild carpet shampoo solution and allowed to air dry on a flat surface.

Is this rug suitable for households with cats or dogs?

Yes — the short pile is easy to vacuum, pet hair doesn't embed deeply, and the machine-washable construction handles pet accidents easily. Darker coloured versions hide pet hair better between vacuuming sessions.
