Here we share some of our favourite Weaver Green essentials, which are not just eco-friendly and practical for summer but look beautiful against the golden hues of summer.
‘Blanket’ and ‘summer’ are two words not often associated; however, our light and soft cotton-like summer blankets are the perfect accessories for a picnic, lounge in the sun or draped around your shoulders during a beautiful sunset. Choose from cool greens and blues to warming yellows and corals and our delightful French linen collection for a more classic look.
Outdoor fun doesn’t come without mishaps. Whether it’s spilt drinks, melted ice cream, mucky hands or the aftermath of a family feast, you’ll be relieved to learn that our throws and blankets are water and stain-resistant, super easy to clean and machine washable. Just soak them or get them in the machine promptly after accidents and they’ll emerge looking like new!
Your outdoor space should be one of your favourite places to relax during the summer months. Outdoor cushions will transform an ordinary space and open up a whole new world where friends, family, children, and even pets can gather, relax and unwind. Enjoy a good book on a steamer chair with our super stylish soft cushions, let the kids relax on a scattering of comfortable cushions or set up an informal haven on the grass for when friends come over for drinks. Even your furry friends can get in on the action with our giant outdoor floor cushions, perfect for the shady spot on your balcony, patio or decking.
Choose from classic stripes, prints and bold geometric designs, combining the collections for maximum impact. Our cushions are made entirely from recycled plastic, including the inner pads. Weaver Green cushions won’t stain, are water-resistant, easy to clean, UV stable and completely uninteresting for moths; all you could want and need.
When we think of a rug, our minds immediately picture interior flooring, but our outdoor spaces deserve just as much care, attention and styling. In the summer, we spend most of our time outdoors, be it in the garden, at the beach or the campsite, so it makes perfect sense to create inviting and comfortable environments to make the most of those beautiful long summer days. Like our cushions, our outdoor rugs are incredibly practical and can withstand any exterior elements such as sunlight, pests, and water.
Create an outdoor space like no other with a beautiful picnic or dinner setting in the garden, upstyle your outdoor decking, take your outdoor rug to the beach for the day or let it become your favourite camping companion.
Following a long, wet winter, summer is the time to go al-fresco. Enjoy morning coffee under the pergola, BBQs on the lawn and afternoon tea on the patio. Spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the sunshine with loved ones. It’s easy to add a classic and relaxed Mediterranean feel to your outdoor dining areas with our beautiful collection of faux French linen tablecloths and napkins. With the look and feel of natural linen, this gorgeous range is soft, lightweight and highly practical. Slips and spills are of no bother to our table linens, red wine will clean away with ease, and all are machine washable. Choose from classic stripes and chequered designs in soft natural colours of blue, cream and grey and be the envy of your guests.
When choosing a beach bag, we often compromise on style to find a practical solution. Luckily, our collection of beautiful French linen-style beach bags ticks all the boxes for suitability and design. Choose from classic washed-out colours such as duck egg, natural, grey, and coral for an effortless, laid-back look. Our linen-style beach bags feature secure zipped pockets for valuables, long shoulder handles, and room for your beach essentials. They are completely foldable, so they work perfectly for a summer's day spent shopping or a weekend getaway. Made from recycled plastic, pop your bag into the wash from time to time and it will continue to look like new.
Perfect for life both inside and out, Weaver Green products are ideal for making the most of summer. Shop the complete collection by clicking below…

Creating a Moroccan home décor is a great opportunity to pick out looks and accessories you’ve never tried before. This is the chance to add a creative touch to your favourite spaces and create an elegant look that blends with homely vibes.
Moroccan décor is all about rich colours and patterns that captivate. It’s about layering looks and accessories that reflect a country of many cultures and many stories. If you do it your own way, your home can tell its own story too.
Introducing Moroccan home décor to your interiors doesn’t have to cost the Earth. The beauty of this look is that it can be brought to life with small, simple changes. Pick out some key accessories to act as the room’s focal points and go from there. If you’re opting for a few patterned pieces, it’s a good idea to keep the rest of your furnishings simple to avoid the look becoming too busy.
Remember that when it comes to the magic of Morocco, textiles and texture are everything. This look is about feeling instantly at home yet inspired by warm accessories that fire the imagination. In Morocco, a welcoming space often combines soft rugs underfoot and comforting cushions to curl up on.
Aim to create a space that makes people want to linger, converse and unwind. Practical touches such as lamps and mirrors can complete the look and brighten your space all year round. If you’re not sure where to start, it’s helpful to choose your soft furnishings and work on the rest later.
Nothing transforms a room quite like a Moroccan rug. Simply adding a rug to a space creates instant warmth and an inviting atmosphere. Our Moroccan rug collection includes traditional patterns that have graced homes for generations, and each one is made from hundreds of recycled plastic bottles
The Kasbah Ink Rug is made from our toughest weave, making it ideal for those busy areas of the house. With a dreamy blue and grey colour scheme and a classic geometric pattern, this hardy rug is deceptively durable in high-traffic areas of the home.
For a more neutral colour, the Medina Tangier Rug is another firm favourite. A simple way to add another layer to a room, this elegant rug adds the perfect touch to a colourful space. Machine washable and hard-wearing, this one’s available in a range of sizes to fit your favourite spot. We love the fact that it’s so durable you can enjoy your free time without worrying about keeping it clean, so you’ll be free to uncork that red wine and relax in style.
The Kasbah Nimbus Rug combines subtle blues and greys with a classic design often found in Moroccan décor. Pop it in a hallway to add some character to the space or enjoy it in the living room to complete the look. Add a floor cushion to your rug to create a cosy space for the kids to curl up. Or why not sink onto a cushion with a visiting friend to maximise floor space and catch up in style?
If you think about it, we spend most of our free time in our living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, so it makes sense that they look and feel amazing. It’s easy to complete your Moroccan décor with one or two well-chosen cushions. We have a gorgeous collection of cushions inspired by the cultures and homes of North Africa.
If you usually pick a space on your living room floor to settle for an evening, how about making life more comfortable with a floor cushion? The Medina Tangier Floor Cushion can be washed in the machine and is stain resistant. You’ll be able to cuddle up with the cat, read to the kids and even tuck into your dinner without worrying about spills and splashes.
The Kasbah Smoke Cushion looks enchanting on the bed or on the living room sofa. Wherever you need a touch of comfort, let this pale blue pattern work its charm. With a traditional pattern inspired by Moroccan shores, this beautiful cushion adds texture to a space without being overpowering. All our Moroccan cushions are as soft as wool to touch, with the advantage of being extremely durable.
Don’t forget to complete your look with some Moroccan home accessories. There’s no need to stick to one rigid colour scheme, so you can pick out some items you really love just to finish your makeover.
Our footstools make use of traditional textiles from around the globe. With captivating patterns to make each one a focal point, you’ll be able to pick your favourite and pop your feet up for some true time out in your new-look space. House plants are a great way to add texture to your Moroccan décor, and bold wall art can add a splash of culture to your new design.
Why Weaver Green? Our products don’t just look great, they’re doing their bit for the planet too. Our products are made using recycled plastic bottles, reclaimed from waterways, rivers and seas. They may be extremely hard-wearing, but they look and feel so soft to touch you’d never guess they started life as plastic. Our products are stain, water and moth-resistant so you’ll be able to enjoy them for years to come.
Now, all that’s left to do is to pick your Moroccan-inspired favourites and start creating your new home décor.

]]>As well as meeting members of the Weaver Green team and several local representatives, friends and supporters of our business, The Duchess was interested to learn more about how we turn old plastic bottles into our gorgeous rugs and soft furnishings.

]]>The great thing about glamping is that you can do it your own way. Once you pick the perfect tent to call home, you get to embrace the joy of adding little touches of luxury with gorgeous accessories. Forget the days of leaky tents and an old sleeping bag to keep you warm. Glamping décor is about getting creative with your outside space.
Think bold patterns and eye-catching colours, a soft rug outside your tent and family feasts at the perfect table. It’s all about being with your favourite people in a beautiful setting. Let’s take a look at some of the glamping accessories you can’t leave home without...
First thing’s first. Before you can achieve the perfect glamping décor you need the perfect tent. You’ll find spacious choices for the whole family, or cosier options for those romantic breaks for two. Whoever you’re taking, picking the perfect tent is only the beginning. Nailing bell tent décor is half the fun.
If you’re already sold on the beauty of boho, you’ll be in your element. When it comes to how to decorate a bell tent, it’s all about warm, thoughtful accessories that make the place feel homely. Glamping accessories include everything from twinkling lights to welcoming cushions and a soft carpet to keep your feet comfy.
Don’t worry about matching your shades and furnishings, glamping décor should be an eclectic combination of the things that make you feel right at home.
You can’t control the weather during your glamping trip, but with this super bright Darjeeling Rainbow Cushion you’ll have warm, sunny vibes on hand at all times. Bold colours will inject the fun into your glamping décor, brightening your little corner of the Great Outdoors.
Part of our water resistant cushions range, the rainbow cushion comes in two sizes. It’s resistant to water, mould and moths, so the only thing you’ll need to worry about is where to rest your head for the best view of the stars above. If your cushion does get wet, it’s quick drying.
With a rich, boho pattern and earthy colours, this glamping cushion will make you feel instantly at home. After all, even adventurers need somewhere soft to rest their heads after a long day.
A glamping break is a perfect excuse to forget the daily grind and embrace your inner nomad – for a few days anyway. So, what better glamping accessory to complete your al fresco abode than the gorgeous Nomad Tarifa Rug?
Inspired by the dreamy patterns of Persia, this Kilim rug uses our toughest weave to ensure it can hold its own outside. Simply pop it down in or outside your tent to add a homely feel to your glamping experience and let the adventure begin.
Glamping rugs are becoming more and more popular with those looking to enjoy the outdoors with a few creature comforts. Water and mould resistant, this hand-woven rug can even be machine washed when you get home.
When it comes to glamping accessories, there’s one all-important staple that everyone will love – a big cosy blanket for snuggling under blue skies. The Oxford Stripe Coral Blanket fits the bill perfectly. With a stylish design for those Instagram snaps, it’s also brilliantly practical.
Made from 300 recycled plastic bottles, this beautiful blanket feels as soft as wool. Don’t be fooled though, as it’s hardy enough for summer glamping sessions. Machine washable and stain resistant, you’ll be able to cosy up for cuddles and enjoy the moment without worrying about spills and stains.
We reckon you’ll enjoy many a sunset with this cosy coral blanket wrapped around your shoulders, before bundling the kids up under it for a snug night’s sleep under canvas.
All that fresh air is bound to mean bigger appetites than ever, and that means you get to create a delightful space for long lazy meals. As with any table setting, al fresco dining is all about the accessories. The Toulouse Blue Striped Tablecloth will look fabulous in the all-important family photos, and it’s made from 100% recycled plastic bottles with the look and feel of linen.
It may look just as stylish as linen, but it’s far more resistant to spills and stains. That means you guys can toast, feast and enjoy the moment without worrying about how you’re going to get your tablecloth clean afterwards. We love the rustic French feel of the Toulouse design, and it’s even machine washable.
You can probably tell that we’re already seasoned glampers, and that’s because we’re spoilt for places to glamp near Weaver Green HQ. Living in South Devon means we never have to travel too far to set up a home under the stars for a few days. Happily, for you guys, we’re only too eager to share a few of our favourite places to glamp.
If you fancy glamping just a stone’s throw from the sea, Mount Folly Farm in the South Hams is perfect. You’ll drift off to sleep after a day in the fresh sea air, before spending each day walking sandy beaches, hiking the coast or exploring nearby Bigbury-On-Sea.
If you see yourself glamping in slightly fancy surroundings, how about setting up your tent at South Allington House between Salcombe and Beesands? It’s not every day you get to wake up outside a gorgeous Georgian manor, and you’ll be right in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
If you’re glamping with little beach bums who love to be by the sea, head to Slapton Sands. The Camping and Caravan Club Site at Slapton has safari tents ready for you to move into, and you’ll find some of Devon’s best-loved beaches right on your doorstep. What more could you ask for?

These checked cushions combine softer, neutral shades with highlights of mustard and plaster pink. They are ideal for adding instant colour to an understated space or as the finishing touch to a boho décor.
Did we mention colour? Well then what better time to introduce our brilliant new Darjeeling Rainbow Cushions. A festival of colour, these fun, textured cushions are irresistible to the touch and a great antidote to drab interiors.
Finally, the Minerva range, aptly named after the goddess of weaving, blends effortlessly into any boho space.

Once you discover the joy of a boho throw, you’ll wonder how you ever did without one. Our Madras collection includes two gorgeous throws, and each one’s a head turner. Whether you go for the Gold Check or the Pink Check, these throws are soft to touch and gorgeously textured. With warm, vivid colours and a classic boho pattern, these throws are not only handy home accessories, but they also make a statement in any room.
Also new for 2021, our chunky boho-bonkers Darjeeling Rainbow Throws are a celebration of colour and texture. Perfect for creating cosy snugs, living rooms and bedrooms, these fabulous throws are also great for use outdoors on balconies, terraces and campsites.
As you know we create all of our products from recycled plastic bottles, and these collections are no different. Each of our cushions are created from up to 600 plastic bottles, and there are up to 300 recycled plastic bottles in our throws.

]]>From the living room to the terrace, these gorgeous cushions and throws are inspired by lazy Ibizan afternoons spent enjoying a good book and a cold drink.
]]>We’ve all spent way too long at home, looking at the same home furnishings month after month. So, if you’ve been promising your space a little makeover to celebrate Spring, our Eivissa range is the perfect place to start.
This collection takes monochrome colour schemes and contrasting patterns, making it easy to give your favourite room a little va va voom with just a few simple accessories. Subtle greys and whites quietly combine to create a cool, relaxing space to unwind. Inspired by shady terraces under an Ibiza sky, our Eivissa accessories can be enjoyed inside and outside.
With lockdown lifting and life speeding up again, creating a monochrome décor at home is a great way to keep things calm. The Eivissa range is all about elegant accessories that blend into your space.
Let’s start with our three Eivissa monochrome cushions. Each cushion has a unique design, yet all three can be layered together to create one colour palette. Dot them on your bed to add a focal point, add them to your sofa or use them in the garden when you’re enjoying the sun. Monochrome home décor is all about versatility, and we love it.
Every collection needs a throw, and the La Brasa Throw is one of those that every home needs. Classic and confident, this black and white throw is a summer staple. It may be created from 300 recycled plastic bottles, but this monochrome throw is seriously soft and fluffy. Pop this throw on top of your bed to add a stylish statement and an extra layer, or just keep it handy to cosy up when you’re outside on a summer night.
The lovely thing about this range is that whichever combination you go for, all the accessories work perfectly together. You can treat yourself to one comfy cushion or mix the entire collection, and it’ll still look just fab.
The Eivissa collection captures monochrome décor with a big difference. Like all of our products, these cushions and throws are created from recycled plastic bottles. You’d never know it to look at them (or feel them for that matter), but these beautiful homewares are actually saving the planet!
Each cushion is made from 600 plastic bottles rescued from landfill, rivers and the ocean. The La Brasa throw is made from 300 plastic bottles, so while you enjoy your monochrome décor, you’ll be doing your bit for the planet.
Despite their beginnings, our Eivissa accessories are beautifully soft just like cotton. They’re machine washable and hard-wearing, so you’ll be free to relax and enjoy them without worrying about spills and stains.
If you’ve spent lockdown getting those DIY jobs done on the house, why not give it a fresh look with monochrome home décor? Check out our Eivissa range today and choose your favourites.

Boho home décor is all about creating a distinctive look that draws on multi-cultural influences, layers, patterns, and plenty of colour. The key is to think it through, choose your focal points with care and avoid that…shall we say, heavy handed look.
When it’s done well, boho chic makes for an engaging living space for the whole family. It’s a style that’s all about expressing the things that make your life unique. The travel memories, the patterns you love and the personality traits that make you… well, you. Boho home décor makes for a home that’s as inviting as it is cosy, providing plenty to engage the eye and interest your guests. Best of all, every boho look is unique.
Weaver Green’s beautiful rugs, throws and cushions are made from recycled plastic bottles. Every item is sustainably made using traditional methods, so our boho ranges will make you feel as good as they look. Better still, they look and feel so soft to touch that you would never guess they started life as recycled plastic.
Ok, so where to start. Bringing boho vibes into your home décor doesn’t have to mean one huge overhaul. It’s a good idea to start small, with easy changes. Pick out one or two boho home accessories you really love and introduce them to one of your living spaces. Once you get a feel for the patterns and colours that fit your lifestyle, you can work from there.
The Weaver Green selection of boho cushions is a great place to start your journey to boho living. Beautifully diverse, this collection features influences from all over the world. Whether you start with scatter cushions to make your living room pop or bed cushions to add a touch of boho to bedtime, there’s a choice for every boho style.
No boho living space is quite complete without a boho rug. Weaver Green boho rugs are made from recycled plastic bottles, so they’re not only beautiful but they have a story to tell too. Boho runner rugs are a simple way to add a little intrigue to otherwise unexciting hallways and corridors.
Designed to stand out against wooden flooring, tiles or a neutral carpet, every one of our boho rugs has a style and personality that shines. To bring the look to life a little more, add an antique mirror or handcrafted ceramics to the same space.
For your home’s living spaces, choose from our gorgeous collection of boho rugs. Our rugs are soft to touch, yet so strong they can even be enjoyed outdoors. Every rug is flat-woven by hand using traditional techniques, making a Weaver Green boho rug an authentic addition to any boho space. From the dusky reds of our Nomad range, to the sunny blues of the Andalucia collection, our boho rugs evoke the feel of sunnier climes and the spirit of adventure.
Each rug is resistant to water and stains, and holds its own under the paws and claws of your four-legged family members. The right bohemian rug can completely transform the look and feel of your favourite room. Take a moment to picture your family living room with the Noman Sultan rug at its centre. The reds and ochres of this Persian-inspired rug add depth to an otherwise one-dimensional space. We love the way this design hints at adventures in faraway lands… all while making you feel more at home than ever.
It’s not all about the statement pieces when it comes to boho though. Don’t underestimate the power of a boho cushion when it comes to adding a sprinkle of artisan magic to a space. Our collection of boho cushions and floor cushions are perfect for transforming living rooms, bedrooms and even kitchens.
Floor cushions are a great way to add extra seating to your living space, encouraging guests to make use of the floor and embrace your home’s new boho vibes. Whether you fall in love with the bursting bright colours of the Nomad Patara floor cushion, or you go for the Moroccan beauty of the Medina Tangier, boho floor cushions are fantastic accessories for those who love to relax at ground-level. You can even use them to create relaxed bohemian seating areas outdoors in the summer months…
Those all-important finishing touches are just as important as the rest of your boho décor. Adding something simple like a footstool can round off your boho living space and add a little extra comfort to boot. Our boho footstools can be used indoors and outdoors and are just as striking as our other boho home accessories.
Boho is all about achieving a layered look formed from things you love. Adding homely plants, wicker accessories and wall art can all help add that final touch to your boho home décor. Make sure you only add items that really capture your imagination, helping to create an authentic space that tells its own story. Speaking of stories, our footstools are made from recycled plastic bottles just like the rest of our product ranges. They may feel and look just like wool, but they’re handwoven from recycled single use plastic bottles.
With their environmental ethos and unique materials, Weaver Green’s products are perfect for creating a boho home décor with real heart. Every product is made from hundreds of recycled plastic bottles. That means you’ll be able to relax in your new-look living space and enjoy the knowledge that your boho journey has done its bit for the planet. And, when you get to share your boho look with guests, you’ll be able to proudly share the story behind the products.

]]> So, set your sights on spring, it's time to declutter the summerhouse and get it ready for morning coffees and ice-cold sundowners with our fabulous guide to the best summerhouse rugs.
We’re sure most of you are already planning to prep your outside spaces ready for the warmer weather and a much-needed change of scene. If you’re lucky enough to have a summerhouse, it’s time to get it looking gorgeous and ready for those lazy spring days. We have a selection of beautiful rugs for summerhouse living, hand-woven with unique designs and practical qualities.
Our hand-loomed summerhouse rugs are hard-wearing and washable. That means you can sit back and listen to the birds singing with your shoes on your rug, and when you fancy freshening it up, you can just pop it on a wash.
Best of all, because they’re UV stable, you can enjoy your rug in the sunlight without those beautiful colours fading. Every one of our rugs is created from recycled plastic bottles, helping to reduce the staggering numbers building up in landfill and our seas. That said, our rugs are soft to touch and look fantastic. Unlike wool, they’re even resistant to pesky moths, carpet beetles and dust mites, meaning you won't come down the garden one morning to find your beautiful rug has become insect breakfast. The only thing you need to worry about is which one to choose.
We’ve picked out five of our favourite summerhouse rugs to get you on your way. Whether you're looking to add a pop of colour, some bold patterns or a funky boho design, these fabulous rugs will bring your summerhouse floor to life.
The Nomad Patara Rug is just the thing for those of you keen to welcome spring with a splash of colour. This striking little number is a new addition to our Nomad rug range, and it manages to turn heads whilst looking as though it’s been part of your summerhouse space forever.
Blending deep reds with neutral tones, the geometric pattern on this earthy summerhouse rug conjures visions of balmy days spent on sun-soaked sand. If your summerhouse has a subtle décor, this beautiful Kilim rug has the personality to brighten it up and bring your quiet space to life.
Now, who doesn’t love a touch of coral? Perfect for making a statement in any space, the Coral Iris Rug combines elegant colours with a geometric pattern that’s right on-trend. Just imagine sipping on a cup of tea while you watch the sun’s rays dance on this pretty summerhouse rug, and as our rugs are UV stable, you’ll be able to enjoy that soothing shade of coral for years to come.
If you want to transform your summerhouse with minimum effort, this rug is an easy way to create a focal point in an otherwise muted space. It may be easy on the eye, but Weaver Green rugs are hardier than they look. These rugs are stain-resistant, claw friendly and can even be used outdoors.
This one is for the dreamers. With faded blue tones and a traditional Andalucia-inspired pattern, the Andalucia Paloma Rug adds a calming feel to any space. There’s something about those blues that makes us think of the sea on a sunny day, and it looks fantastic against the wooden floors of a summerhouse.
We love the timeless quality of the Andalucia Paloma Rug, and it’s so durable it could easily add the feel of foreign shores to your summerhouse for generations. One of three Andalucia-inspired rugs, this one looks right at home anywhere.
As warm as it is unique, the Gooseberry Chenille Rug will add a cosy dimension to your summerhouse. There’s nothing like a dash of mustard for a pop of colour, and this rug adds warmth to even larger spaces. We can just picture sinking our feet into this homely rug while we doze in the peace and quiet of the summerhouse...bliss. The Gooseberry Chenille Rug has a traditional Scandinavian design that works perfectly with rustic wooden floors.
Again, our summerhouse rugs are designed to hold their own under pet claws and traipsing traffic. Our rugs are so soft underfoot that they’re a pleasure to walk on, even when you’ve kicked off the flip flops and gone barefoot on a sunny day.
If your summerhouse is your creative space, the Santorini Henley Stripe Rug may just be the finishing touch. Bright and bold, this rug combines classic stripes with spectacularly vibrant blues.
Inspired by the blues of Greece’s Santorini, this rug will add a taste of the Med to your relaxing space in the sun. Ok, so we may not be jetting off to the warm waters of the Mediterranean quite yet, but you can bring serious island vibes to your summerhouse anyway. The Santorini Henley Stripe Rug effortlessly energises any space, perfect for expressing yourself in your summerhouse sanctuary.
While the Santorini Henley Stripe design has been discontinued, we've replaced it with a whole range of beautiful striped rugs.
Once you’ve chosen the perfect rug for your summerhouse, how about bringing the look together with some of our summerhouse cushions and throws? Perfect for cosying up on cooler days and adding a touch of flair to your summerhouse or garden, this collection has a design to suit every style. There’s nothing quite like curling up on a throw that feels like an old friend, and our collection of cushions and throws has been carefully curated with chillout time in mind.
Cushions not only add a little extra comfort, but they’re also an easy way to complete the look you’ve carefully created. Our outdoor cushions are perfect for keeping in the summerhouse and using in the garden when you need them – and of course, they’re beautiful too. Our outdoor cushions are machine washable, and you’ll find the perfect pattern to complement your dreamy new rug.

Kitchen rugs are a brilliant way to make the heart of your home even more inviting. Whether you’re looking to create that wow factor, or seeking something more understated but no less stylish, a well-chosen kitchen rug will elevate your kitchen to brand new heights!
Prepare to be inspired...
When purchasing a rug for your kitchen you need to balance the qualities of aesthetics and practicality. Cosy underfoot and soft as wool, our rugs have an eco-friendly secret that make them perfect for life in the kitchen. It may be hard to believe, but each Weaver Green rug has been made from up to 3000 recycled plastic bottles - that’s 3000 plastic bottles that might otherwise have ended up in landfill or floating around our oceans.
This amazing transformation sees tough plastic spun into delicate fibres with all the textual traits and inviting characteristics of a natural fleece.
As well as their environmentally friendly credentials, these beautiful and pioneering rugs are also easy to clean, stain and water resistant, UV stable, and due to their superior resilience more than able to cope with the rigors of kitchen life. What’s more, our rugs do not attract any unwelcome guests such as moths and dust mites making them the ideal choice for homes with pets and allergy sufferers.
Kitchens tend to receive the most household traffic, so a hard-wearing pile is essential for rug longevity. With this in mind, our Juno, Kasbah, Nomad and Iris designs are best-suited to areas of high footfall and paw presence. Featuring dhurrie style flatweave, these robust rugs will stand the tests of time while also adding a layer of comfort to your kitchen floor.
When it comes to measuring up, there are a few golden rules to follow. Firstly, make sure you allow for space around your borders, ideally between six inches and two feet, so as not to make the rug look cramped or poky. Visually, this applies more to the sides of your rug than it does to the ends, however, an even border always looks more attractive and helps to compliment rather than disguise the pre-existing floor surface.
If your kitchen is open-plan and includes a dining area, and you’re looking for a rug to cover the floorspace beneath your dining table, be certain to allow adequate space for the chairs (when in use) by ensuring your rug extends by at least 18-24 inches around your table to (a) prevent seated diners slipping off the rug’s edge, and (b) to achieve the right kind of balance and layering.
The colours and pattern of your rug will also have a greater or lesser bearing on its overall impact on the kitchen. Complicated patterns and bolder hues can make for a more striking centrepiece (and also help disguise those stubborn, accidental spills), while the subtle use of stripes can help create the illusion of a wider or longer room depending on your intentions. Make sure you give due consideration towards your kitchen’s existing décor to prevent a clash of colour or style. Colours from the warmer palette will compliment one of the rug’s primary functions which is to provide an extra layer of floor insulation.
If you’re dealing with a narrower floor space such as a galley kitchen or an area around a breakfast bar, a kitchen runner rug could be your ideal choice, perfectly suited for kitchen corridors and passageways while also helping to create a sense of space and providing comfort underfoot.
Finally, make sure you sit your kitchen rug on an anti-slip rug underlay which will help anchor it into position while adding an extra cushion and allowing your rug to breathe.
We’ve picked out five of our best-selling rugs for the kitchen that are sure to pique your interest. Whether you’re looking to add a pop of colour or a bold, geometric pattern to your kitchen, these gorgeous rugs offer a little something for everyone.
A stunning addition to your kitchen, this beautiful Persian-inspired rug combines washed out tones and a traditional kilim design.
Transform your kitchen with a gorgeous Paloma rug, introducing faded blue tones and an enchanting Andalucian-inspired pattern that looks great against neutral or wooden floors.
Invite deeper tones and bolder patterns into your kitchen with our striking Navy Juno Rug. Featuring a geometric design against our classic navy blue, it’s a popular choice for that coastal theme.
We love this Medina Tangier Rug. Inspired by traditional Moroccan design, this traditional flatwoven rug could be the finishing touch you’ve been searching for. Made from our toughest weave, it’s ideally suited to the hustle and bustle of a busy kitchen.
A great way to add a burst of colour against darker surfaces and neutral walls, this uplifting and warming yellow patterned rug will lift your morning mood and make the kitchen even more inviting.

]]>Capturing this bonny ‘springtime’ mood and introducing it to your home décor and furnishings can be equally transformative. From subtle Ochre undertones to accents of buttermilk, every room deserves its hint of yellow.
We’ve put together some suggestions on how you can use yellow accessories to help you on your quest to brighten up your household...
They say nothing anchors a room quite like a well-placed rug. As practical as they are ornate, a rug can blend seamlessly into the ensemble or work as an eye-catching centrepiece. When you’re exploring ways of introducing new colours into your rooms, many designers believe you should start from the bottom and focus foremost on your floor space. Yellow rugs can breathe life into monotones and conjure welcome contrasts to darker surfaces.
With its softer, looser weave and vibrant hues, the gentle wefts of our Polperro Stripe Gooseberry Rug would make for an uplifting addition to any bedroom floor and could be just the finishing touch you’ve been searching for. Available in six standard sizes, this durable rug will add colour, warmth and texture to living rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms.
For a more robust option, our extremely hard-wearing, flat-woven yellow Juno rug is a brilliant choice for kitchens and heavy traffic areas. With its strong geometric patterning and washed acid yellow hue, our Gooseberry Juno Rug will add a new dimension and bring energy to the most tired interiors. As with all our products, these rugs are made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, spun into yarn and then hand-loomed into gorgeous textiles that are soft as wool.
The whole mood of a room can be transformed by the addition of a bright throw or a tasteful scattering of yellow cushions. There’s no need to break the budget or spend ‘big’ on major furnishings when all that’s needed is a little bit of imagination and some extra ‘pops’ of colour to lift a room.
If you’re thinking of adding some yellow contrasts to your settee or sofa, then layering is a key consideration. It’s also important to think about mixing and contrasting your textures, complimenting chunkier furnishings such as weaves and knits with softer touches.
When it comes to yellow cushions, explore different patterns, shapes and sizes, starting with the largest and working forward.
Throws can be neatly arranged or casually draped; there are no hard and fast rules, just lots of versatility depending on the season or occasion. The beauty of the colour yellow is that it not only compliments colours from the warm palette, but it also works with a host of other shades, from soft greens and dusky blues to fluro corals and muted greys.
As soft and light as cotton, our highly versatile Gooseberry Hammam is perfect for every occasion, both indoors and out. We use our hammams on the beach, as picnic blankets and throws on steamer chairs, as well as great sofa covers to snuggle under or act as a child-friendly protection buffer for your sofa covers.
For the perfect partner for your favourite sofa or armchair, try these beautiful Diamond Gooseberry Cushions. A stylish addition to any living room, summerhouse or bedroom, our amazing hammam cushions offer a softness that belies their durability and hard-wearing qualities.
Did you know that each of Weaver Green’s square size cushions are made from up to 300 recycled plastic bottles and weaved as soft as cotton? So, if you’re thinking of going yellow, you can also go green!
You don’t have to spend a fortune at Sotheby’s to make a statement with art. In fact, quite the opposite. When it comes to filling your home with ornaments and décor it’s nothing to do with the price tag and everything to do with capturing the character of both the room and its inhabitants.
Introducing a wrapped or framed canvas to a lonely wall space is a wonderful way of inviting the revitalising energy of yellow into a room. For centuries artists have been using shades of yellow to demonstrate light and contrast in their masterpieces, Vincent van Gogh’s passion and understanding of the colour became the hallmark for many of his works, Sunflowers and Haystacks In Provence perhaps his most famous examples.
It’s worth remembering a few of the ‘golden’ rules when choosing your wall art. Firstly, you have to feel inspired by the piece or to put it more bluntly, you need to like it! Try to strike a balance between style and emotion.
Next, you need to think about size. Too small, and the picture is lost on the wall, too large, and it dominates. Consider the height of the ceiling and the dimensions of the immediate furniture, for example, there’s a rule of thumb that suggests a picture shouldn’t be more than two thirds the length of the settee or sofa it’s being hung above. When hanging your canvas, think about eye-line (most galleries hang their works fifty-seven inches from floor to centre as that’s considered the average eye-line). There’s lots to consider, so take your time and don’t rush in.
Mirrors are another great way of inviting light and colour into a room, while also helping to create the illusion of space. Many people follow the laws of feng shui when hanging mirrors in order to promote positive energy flows. Get it right, and a well-placed mirror can transform a living space, flooding alcoves with new light and rebounding hues from wall to wall.
We use our kilim rugs as beautiful and simple wall hangings, simply thread wooden dowling rods through the end tassels and suspend your rug at the required height, or for rugs with no tassels tack/pin the top end to dowling poles and hang in the same way. Allow plenty of clear wall space around them, so that the intricate hand-woven designs really sing – we love using our Gooseberry Juno Dhurrie rug and our Nomad Tarifa Kilim rugs as hangings – they both look spectacular against a white wall, help with acoustics and have a softening effect on interiors.
A room without furniture is like a sea without a shore. Poetic interludes aside, furniture plays a vital role in shaping the character of a living space.
With so many styles to choose from, it’s important to get the balance right. Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs, kitchen cabinets and bedroom wardrobes, all can play a part in brightening, softening and contrasting your colour scheme.
If you’ve fallen in love with a particular shade of yellow, then maybe now’s the time to reupholster the Chesterfield or add a coat of Farrow and Ball’s ‘Lancaster Yellow’ to that tired looking shelving unit? Whether you want to go classic or retro, country cottage or á la mode, the timeless shade of yellow lends itself to a multitude of décors and designs.
Our final suggestion never fails to brighten up a room. When it comes to finding yellow blossoms to fill your table vases the variety and choice are endless; sunflowers, snapdragons, lilies, tulips, orchids… the list goes on. They say a single daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, and with that in mind, we’ve picked out a bouquet of these wonderful springtime classics to help add that final touch of yellow to your seasonal makeover.
With spring in the air, it’s the ideal time to say ‘out with the old and in with the new’. If you’re thinking of adding some extra colour to your décor then take your pick from our wonderful gooseberry yellow collection and prepare to be inspired.

In the last three years, we have given new life to an amazing 72 million plastic bottles, turning them into beautiful rugs, bags, blankets and more by incorporating gorgeous designs with recycled materials. Head over to our online store to see what’s new and to find out more about the process.
When buying things for your home, try to buy products that have a limited impact on the planet, there are plenty of great swaps you can do to make your home more sustainable. For example, why not try swapping clingfilm for Bee’s Wrap? Made from cotton and beeswax it is washable, reusable and compostable. Alternatively, look out for PLA wraps and films which are made out of a vegetable-based cornstarch material that behaves like plastic but are also completely compostable.
It’s hard to completely avoid plastic pollution, however, there are lots of ways that you can reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills, starting with recycling. When you’re grocery shopping, choose loose fruit and veg and pass on those flimsy plastic bags. When the only option is packaged produce, look out for the on-pack disposal label which will help you seek out the products that have recyclable packaging. Additionally, try to avoid anything in black plastic as it is much harder to recycle. This is because black plastic gets its colour from being dyed with carbon black pigments – and it’s those pigments that stop the plastic from being recycled.
If you order directly through our website, you will receive your beautiful Weaver Green textiles in a compostable, recyclable paper bag. We care about having a positive impact on the planet and we hope our top tips will help you have one too!
If you’re not already doing so, try shopping as locally as you can. By doing so, you not only reduce the carbon footprint and food miles of your meals, but you’re also supporting the smaller producers in your community and the local economy.
The local farmers' market is the perfect place to get fresh seasonal produce, but we understand this isn’t possible for everyone. If that’s you then when you’re next at your local supermarket or store, check the labels and try to make sure the ingredients in your food have been sustainably sourced. For example, if you’re buying British produce look out for the Red Tractor logo, all of their food is traceable and farmed with care.
With the way that most snacks and drinks are now packaged, we know how difficult it is to limit plastic waste when you’re on the move. With most products including fresh produce now coming wrapped in plastic, it’s difficult to avoid unnecessary waste. However, there are ways that you can reduce your own plastic consumption whilst on the go. Try planning ahead and packing your snacks in a reusable container or why not buy a reusable coffee cup or water bottle?
Around 500 billion plastic bottles are sold every year, many of which are not recycled. At Weaver Green, we try to find a home for some of this plastic by making sure all of our rugs and textiles are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. These bottles are used all over the world and favoured by massive brands like Coca-Cola, who produced a jaw-dropping 3 million tonnes of plastic pollution in a single year (source - Ellen Macarthur Foundation).
If you’re looking to reduce your plastic consumption check out this great bamboo reusable water bottle from Global WAKEcup who donate 10 percent of all profits to The Marine Conservation Society and Plastic Oceans UK, a great charity making big moves in the fight against plastic pollution.
As highlighted in How To Give Up Plastic by Will McCallum, it comes as a surprise to most people that the clothes they wear are a source of plastic in our oceans. Tiny strands of nylon and polyester are shed from synthetic clothes every time we wash and wear them. Due to the rise of fast fashion, more and more clothes are made from these cheap, easy to source materials, in fact, man-made fibres now make up an astonishing 60% of the clothing we wear.
How to limit microfibre shedding
Research suggests that you can reduce the number of microfibres you emit by washing your clothes and fabrics at lower temperatures, making sure you use liquid laundry detergent and reducing the spin speed. To minimise potential microfibre shedding from our products, we've worked hard on ensuring that all of our textiles are made from yarn that reaches the highest possible tensile stability and strength. The key to our yarn is that it's constructed from long fibres, which are less prone to shedding.
We avoid using any toxic dyes and use a closed water system in all of our textile production. This means all of our products are washed and dyed with the same filtered water rather than using new water supplies.
For other ways to reduce the impact of your washing on the environment, we’ve put together this page on tackling microfibres.
Offering fixed standard delivery all across Australia, we’re so excited that our gorgeous products and their amazing eco-credentials are now available to our antipodean friends.

From our gorgeous coral cushions and blankets, to our brand new Tarifa Ottomans and Kilim footstools, our brilliant range of ‘living coral’ accessories that will put a splash of colour in your home.
Coral is a brilliant accent colour, sitting well with soft greys, taupe and even washed out gooseberry tones. It’s versatile, playful and vibrant – the perfect colour to create seasonal interest.
Our selection of coral rugs are a brilliant way of bringing a base level of colour to any room.
From the bold, geometric pattern of our Coral Iris Rug and the washed-out Kilim style Nomad Tarifa Rug to the more subtle tones of our Andalucia Cadiz Rug, you can choose the right level of colour for your home.
We especially love the mix of coral, pinks, yellows and bluey greys in our Andalucia Zahara Rug which are perfect for pulling in elements of colour from other accessories in a living room or kitchen.
Our Diamond Coral Cushion and Oxford Stripe Coral Cushion look great against a sofa, comfy chair or bed, and are also perfect for creating colour pops on outdoor garden furniture – we use ours on a Lutyens bench in the summer months to create soft and comfortable seating areas in the garden.
Stain-resistant and machine washable, these gorgeously soft and squidgy cushions really do look and feel just like wool. They include the cushion inner, which of course is also made entirely from plastic bottles.
Being water-resistant our cushions are perfect for outdoor use, as water flows through the fabric and they can be easily air-dried.
For on-trend summer lounging, see our Coral Hammam throws – perfect on the beach or by the pool, with a soft cotton-like feel and quick drying so you won’t end up lying on a soggy towel.
Or, for the ultimate cosy-up blanket, choose between our Oxford Stripe Coral Blanket or beautiful Diamond Coral Blankets. These heavy-weight large blankets are over 2 metres long and made from around 300 recycled plastic bottles each.
Thanks to their easy-to-clean credentials, they’re perfect for using inside and out in the garden or at the beach. Moths won’t eat them, dust mites won’t live in them and they’re perfect for allergy sufferers too.
The Iris Coral Bag is the perfect accessory for anyone wanting to liven up their look. With chunky leather handles and our gorgeous striped Iris pattern, this large shopper-style tote bag can hold all of your essentials plus a bit extra and with the same easy clean and water-resistant properties as our cushions, rugs and blankets, it won’t stain when a pen leaks on it or you forget to put the lid on your mascara.
Finally, if you want to put your feet up, our brilliant Nomad Tarifal Coral Footstools and stunning new Coral Ottomans are the answer. Our footstools are a colourful addition to any lounge or living area, while our ottoman coffee tables double up as bench seats for the end of a bed or under a window.
Both are a dream for pet owners, red wine spillers and households with children.
Since we started our little company in 2016, we've salvaged nearly 70 million plastic bottles, with over 40% of those plastic bottles being rescued from watercourses and rivers.
We use a completely closed water treatment process in both the production and dying of our yarns, with the same 5,000 litres of water being continually circulated, filtered, cleaned and purified to be reused for the next yarn production batch. This eliminates the release of microfibers and contaminants into the water system and onto the sea. We don't use toxic dyes or formaldehyde in any of our processes, and we even use recycled rice and wheat husks to heat low emission boilers and steam equipment when we're making our yarn.
All of this along with some great designs and beautiful colours means our products have a small footprint on our planet and seas, but a big impact in your homes and gardens...
]]>Weaver Green textiles look and feel like wool, but are crafted by weaving together strands of recycled plastic bottles to create stunning, environmentally friendly accessories for your home and garden.
Too many plastic bottles end up littering our seas, where they eventually break down into tiny pieces that are eaten by marine wildlife and enter the food chain. There are lots of clever people working on innovations to address our planet’s ever-increasing plastic problem, but recycling remains one of the most effective solutions currently available.
With up to 3,000 recycled plastic bottles used to make each rug, Weaver Green offers an ethical, environmentally friendly, design-led, flooring option to decorate your home or garden. Added to that, they are incredibly practical, easy to clean, stain-resistant, hard-wearing and completely waterproof – making them the perfect indoor or outdoor rug. In fact, our products are so tough and versatile, they're even perfect to take camping or to the beach.
Our range of beautiful rugs, bags, throws and cushions is heavily influenced by Scandinavian, Moroccan and Eastern designs, from our Kilim rugs and Juno bags to our Nomad floor cushions and much more.

Weaver Green rugs are perfect for use indoors - in kitchens, under dining tables, hallways, and outside - on garden terraces, sunny lawns, and summer house floors.
All our weavers are independently inspected to ensure safe and fair working conditions for our craftspeople, and we finish our textiles in our Devon based rug rooms.
