Ralph Lauren Collection Area Rug - Fairfax

Rich brown, shot through with lighter streaks, as though someone brushed it the wrong way and then thought better of it.

The Fairfax area rug is from the Ralph Lauren Collection and is contemporary, in cotton. Solid-color rugs with a sheen and a slightly irregular surface are usually woven so that the pile catches the light differently depending on direction. This one is a single field of chocolate and caramel brown with no border or pattern. Horizontal shading runs across it, darker in places and lighter in others, giving it a softly abraded look. The edges are plain and straight. It is 4 feet wide and 6 long.

A rug that lets the room do the talking.
