Short answer: We sell ten washable rug designs in Australia: Caleb, Cooper, Gabrielle, Jamie, Mac, Margot, Shelly, Theodore, Vincent and Zoe. Between them they come in 16 shades, and every design comes in five sizes.
The sizes run from a 76 x 244 cm (2.5' x 8') runner to a 274 x 366 cm (9' x 12') rug. The construction is the same for all of them, so you are choosing a pattern and a shade, not a different feel underfoot. Because the surface, the cushioned pad and the care are shared, the design decision is mostly about how much pattern your room can take and which colours it already has. This guide lists every design with its shades, then helps you narrow the choice.

What is the same across every Cozey washable rug design?
Every design is built the same way, which is why the choice is visual. Each rug has a soft polyester chenille layer, with the pattern digitally printed on it. The pattern is not woven at different pile heights, so two designs feel alike underfoot. Our guide to how we design our washable rugs explains why, and each design is named after a Cozey employee.
Each rug also includes a cushioned modular pad, with an EVA core and TPR grip material on both sides. The pad slides into the pockets on the rug layer, so you take it out and machine wash only the rug layer. The pad is included, and our materials guide covers the layers in detail.
We have no formal slip-resistance rating, so we never call a rug slip-proof. The grip depends on your floor and how you use the room. Our guide to non-slip washable rugs for hardwood floors goes through what to check.

What sizes can you choose?
Every design comes in the same five sizes. Which one you need depends on the room, so we keep the full reasoning in our room-by-room size guide.
What sizes can you choose?
| Size | Where we would consider it |
|---|---|
| 76 x 244 cm (2.5' x 8') runner | Hallways, entryways, galley kitchens |
| 91 x 152 cm (3' x 5') | Small accents, compact entryways, bedside spaces |
| 152 x 244 cm (5' x 8') | Small living rooms, bedrooms, reading areas |
| 244 x 305 cm (8' x 10') | Living rooms, larger bedrooms, dining rooms |
| 274 x 366 cm (9' x 12') | Spacious living areas, large bedrooms, open layouts |
The size you choose changes how much of the pattern you see, so look at the design in the size you plan to buy. The larger sizes also need a bigger washer, which our guide to machine washing a rug lists size by size.
How do you choose between a quiet and a bold design?
Start with what is already in the room. If the sofa, curtains and artwork carry plenty of colour, a quieter design and a single shade keeps the room calm. If the furniture is mostly neutral, the rug is the natural place for a stronger pattern. A rug does not have to match the sofa, and a little contrast often looks more intentional.
Then count the patterns. A busy rug sits well beside plain upholstery but competes with patterned cushions and curtains. In that case pick a design you can see settling into the background, and repeat one of its colours elsewhere in the room.
Finally, think about the layout. The pattern shows most where the rug is open floor, so a small rug under a coffee table shows the whole design, while a large rug under a sectional shows mostly its border and the edges. If you want to add a second rug on top, our guide to layering washable rugs covers the size pairs and what we have and have not tested.
Which design and shade suit which room?
The table below is general design advice, not a product specification. Shade names are only a guide to colour, so check each swatch on the product page before you decide.
Which design and shade suit which room?
| Room | What to look for | Shade approach |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | A design you will enjoy every day, sized to sit under the front legs of the seating | A shade that repeats a colour from the sofa or the wood on your tables, such as Sandstone, Quartz, Stone or Graphite |
| Bedroom | A calmer design, since you see it first thing and last thing | A soft shade, such as Bone, Oatmeal or Quartz |
| Dining room | A design that works under a table, sized so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out | A shade that sits comfortably with your floor and table finish, such as Pecan, Canyon or Hazelnut |
| Hallway or entry | A 76 x 244 cm runner, which fits a standard home washing machine | A shade that suits the floor and walls on either side, such as Graphite, Thyme or Forest Haze |
| Playroom or family room | A design you are happy to see every day, in a size you can wash | Our guide to rugs for pets and kids covers what to check |
If you want the rug to stand out, look at the shades whose names point to a distinct colour, such as Burgundy & Navy, Lagoon, Moss and Ochre or Patina, and check the swatch.
How do you match a rug shade to your sofa and wood tones?
Pick the colour you want to repeat, then choose the rug that carries it. If your sofa is a strong colour, a quieter rug lets it lead. If your sofa is neutral, a shade with more colour gives the room a focal point. Our guide to choosing a sofa colour and our advice on pairing a sofa, accent chair and coffee table help you line up the larger pieces first.
Screens show colour differently from a real room, so use the preview in natural lighting beside the shade selector on each product page, and hold the choice against your floor and walls at different times of day.
Our recommendation
- One strong colour already in the room: a single-shade design such as Jamie, Vincent or Caleb, or a quiet shade of Margot.
- A neutral room that needs a focal point: a shade with more colour, such as Burgundy & Navy, Lagoon or Moss and Ochre.
- You like a pattern but not its shade: Gabrielle, Mac, Margot, Shelly or Theodore let you compare shades.
- Not sure about size: use painter's tape on the floor first, then follow our size guide.
- Still deciding: our guide to what to look for in a washable rug covers cleaning, comfort and backing.
