Two Morris & Co. Floral Rugs, Two Distinct Personalities
Morris & Co. patterns bring heritage botanical art into modern homes. Ruggable offers two designs from this collaboration: the Blackthorn Mulberry Rug and the Lent Lily Blue Flatwoven Rug. Both are water-resistant, stain-resistant, and machine-washable, but their color palettes, pattern styles, and size availability differ significantly. This comparison helps you choose the one that fits your room's look and practical needs.
Pattern and Color at a Glance
The Blackthorn Mulberry Rug features an intricate weave of blossoms and vines originally designed for wallpaper by John Henry Dearle in 1892. Its palette blends deep plum, muted lavender, warm rust, and olive green for a dramatic, vintage feel. A border anchors the design with a touch of formality.
The Lent Lily Blue Rug by Morris & Co. x The Huntington brings together bold stylised tulips, swirling acanthus leaves, and delicate wild daffodils in a richly detailed floral composition. Shades of green and coral pink with pops of cream stand out against a deep teal ground, and the decorative border echoes the botanical motifs throughout the design.
If you prefer a moody, antique-inspired look, Blackthorn Mulberry is the choice. For a brighter, more botanical feel with teal and coral, Lent Lily Blue stands out.

What They Share: Washability and Durability
Both rugs are water-resistant, stain-resistant, and machine-washable, making them practical for high-traffic areas, homes with kids or pets, and rooms where spills happen.

Which Rug Fits Your Room?
Choose the Blackthorn Mulberry Rug if you want a dramatic, vintage palette with deep plum and muted lavender that works in a formal living room, study, or bedroom. Its All-In-One construction means you don't need a separate pad.
Choose the Lent Lily Blue Rug if you prefer a brighter botanical look with teal, coral, and cream that suits a coastal, eclectic, or nature-inspired space. The Rug + Pad System provides extra cushioning and grip, and the cushioned pad option is available for the smallest size.
