A summer round-up of fun and beautiful rugs with holiday inspired designs

Published by Tara Punter | July 28th, 2022

The school summer holidays have just kicked off here in the UK and for many people, that means packing up a suitcase and heading away for some rest and relaxation. Whether you’re heading off to sunnier shores or enjoying a staycation here in the British Isles, we hope you have a hassle-free journey and a wonderful holiday! If, instead of heading away, you’re spending the summer at home cracking on with decorating and home renovations, we’ve gathered some gorgeous rugs which evoke those far-flung destinations and exotic flora and fauna or add a slice of the glorious English countryside to your home. They might just inspire you to go for a full holiday theme for one of your rooms!

The Lorena Canals Lobster Rug

This maritime-themed rug has got so much going for it – it’s handcrafted using traditional methods from natural cotton and features a bold and colourful lobster motif made from non-toxic dyes AND it’s even washable. Perfect if you accidentally spill a glass of chilled Provencal rose on it during a holiday-themed gathering. We love this rug which reminds us of happy memories by the Mediterranean Sea, where a plate of lobster thermidor is the ultimate holiday treat. There’s even a mini version which also features a seaside blue stripe and multiple lobster motifs!

Dash & Albert’s Bright Stripe Rug

For some people, memories of summer holidays are filled with beautiful, bright colours. The vivid yellows and pinks of hibiscus flowers, yellow sand dotted with the pop of green from a palm tree and of course the endless blues and turquoise of the ocean and the sky. When we spotted the Bright Stripe Rug from Dash & Albert, it immediately reminded us of holidays filled with colour and transported us right back to a cocktail bar perched on a Caribbean beach… This rug has a hidden talent too – it’s part of our indoor-outdoor collection, which means you can create a welcoming outdoor seating area with it during the summer months or use it indoors.

Wedgewood’s Hummingbird Rugs

If you’ve ever heard the unmistakable thrum of tiny wings beating over 50 times a second, you know how magical it is to observe a hummingbird feeding on tropical flowers. These tiny birds hover so skillfully to feed on the nectar and are often the most eye-catching jewel colours – and they are unexpectedly nosy too! We adore the luxury Wedgewood Hummingbird Rugs which depict these clever creatures in search of their next flower, all in the brand’s iconic colour palette.

Bluebellgray’s Tetbury Meadow Rug

Overseas holidays, especially when sunshine is guaranteed, will always hold plenty of appeal, but there is something very special about the British countryside on a bright and sunny day. Whether that’s a crisp midwinter morning or a balmy summer evening, when the weather behaves, for many of us there’s nowhere else we would rather be. Bluebellgray’s Tetbury luxury wool hand-tufted Meadow Rug with its pretty wildflowers is the perfect nod to the idyllic Cotswold countryside which here at Heugah Interiors, we’re very lucky to call home.
