The Pond Street Kids Rug by the Designers Guild has a retro look that has clearly been inspired by Scandinavian folk art.
Decorated with a folk art style tree, the rug is made from 100% hand-tufted acrylic. Although intended for children’s rooms, it isn’t so childish that it couldn’t work in other rooms too. The rug measures 150 by 180cm and costs £195.

Flying Ducks Rug
The website selling the rug inaccurately describes it as being inspired by the Duckworths on Coronation Street, but as all retro interiors fans know, it was in fact Hilda Ogden who famously had these on her wall.
But, putting that aside, the Flying Ducks Rug provides a nice twist on the idea of duck flying across your wall, as here they will fly across your floor. The rug is available in two sizes; small (120cm x 170cm) priced £149.99 or medium (150cm x 230cm) for £239.99, and in a choice of beige or the odder options of sage or lilac.
