These Cool Aussie Rugs May Just Cure Your Seasonal Depression
Convinced a new rug will somehow transform your home's entire personality? Honestly, sometimes it does.
As the temperature drops, our homes start working overtime. They become restaurants, cinemas, wine bars and weekend sanctuaries all rolled into one — which explains why winter always sparks the sudden urge to refresh absolutely everything.
Amidst our seasonal decor dreaming, we came across Double. The Australian interiors brand — loved for its design-led, washable rugs — has become a go-to for those who want their homes to feel beautiful and genuinely livable. Think elevated, textural rugs designed for real life: dinner party spills, pets, kids and all.
And just in time for peak nesting season, the cool Aussie homeware brand has unveiled two major launches that might just change the rug game entirely. Better yet, if you act quick, you might just score 25% off in their Autumn Reset Sale.
The Washable Jute Rug Has Finally Arrived
Double’s new collection takes everything people love about natural fibre rugs — the warmth, texture and relaxed coastal feel — and makes it far less precious.
The range comes in three handwoven designs (Tile, Palisade and Vestige), all woven from natural fibres including jute, cotton and wool accents. They’ve got that earthy, lived-in look designers are obsessed with right now, but they’re also fully machine washable. So yes, they can actually survive real life.
Which feels especially relevant in winter, when the house somehow becomes the centre of absolutely everything. Rainy mornings. Dinner parties. Pets refusing to go outside. One too many cups of tea balanced precariously on the couch arm. And kids fighting boredom in oh-so many creative (messy) ways.
Starting from $100 and available in multiple sizes, the collection is exclusively available via Double, with free shipping and returns across Australia and New Zealand.
Their Cult Vegan Wool Rugs Just Got New Colours
Double has also expanded its bestselling Soothe Vegan Wool Rug collection with six new shades inspired by vintage, mid-century tones.
Think Olive, Butter, Rouge, Rose and Steel Blue — the kind of warm, rich colours that instantly make a room feel cosier and more energised all at the same time.
The rugs themselves are ridiculously soft underfoot, with a plush 30mm pile that feels especially nice on freezing mornings. They’re also fully machine washable, vegan and finished with a non-slip backing, making them ideal for busy homes where things are constantly being spilled on, stepped on or knocked over.
You can browse the full range of new colourways on Double.
Where Interiors and Art Collide
Another thing that makes Double feel a little different from your average homewares brand is its creative collaborations.
Alongside its core collections, the brand regularly teams up with Australian artists and creatives on limited-edition ranges that feel far more personal and collector-like than mass-produced.
There’s the dreamy, nostalgic collaboration with artist Tiarna Herczeg, filled with soft colour and playful forms, alongside the moodier, nature-inspired Wild South collection by Jono Fleming.
You can explore them all on Double.
A Rug You Don’t Have To Stress About? Revolutionary
There’s been a real shift lately towards homes that feel beautiful and properly liveable. That’s probably why Double has found such a loyal following.
And heading into winter, when we’re all spending more time indoors and suddenly noticing every corner of the house, a soft new rug honestly feels like a pretty solid mood boost.
