Matthew Williamson’s Peacock rug for The Rug Company translates the elegance of a peacock feather into a refined contemporary floor piece. Overscale plumes rise rhythmically across a soft neutral ground, each crowned with a stylised eye picked out in chartreuse, teal, rose and charcoal. The gently diffused outlines and concentric colour bands are reminiscent of traditional Ikat textiles, giving the pattern a soft, painterly quality rather than a hard graphic repeat.
Woven in a luxurious blend of wool and bamboo silk, the rug offers both practicality and lustre. The wool component provides structure, warmth and resilience underfoot, while the bamboo silk introduces a subtle sheen that catches the light along the feather eyes and coloured detailing. This combination makes the rug suitable for everyday use while still feeling indulgent and decorative. Placed beneath a seating group or at the centre of a living room, it becomes a focal point that works particularly well with simple upholstery and clean-lined furniture, allowing the design to take centre stage.
