Some homeware buys have staying power, earning a spot in your home for years, while others can fall into passing-fad territory a little too quickly. Reversible designs feel like a clever solution to the problem, giving you two looks in one and making your purchase feel instantly more justifiable. Whether the reverse reveals a different colourway, pattern or entirely new design, it's a simple idea that makes us wonder why more homeware doesn't make use of both sides.
As high-street stores continue to raise their homeware game, it's often the clever extra detail that wins us over. Think bedding with a zip that makes changing the bed easier, chairs that secretly hide storage and, of course, rugs with a different pattern on each side.
When we came across this reversible rug from Zara Home, we instantly fell for its block-print-style pattern, colourful trimmed borders and trailing florals. For those moments when you fancy a little switch-up, it offers an easy way to refresh a room without buying anything new — simply flip it over to reveal the reverse design.
Priced from £49.99, you get two rugs for the price of one, making it a particularly tempting buy for those who like to switch things up with the seasons.
Available in four sizes, from 60 x 120cm to 200 x 300cm, there’s an option to suit everything from a small hallway or bedroom to a larger living space. It’s the kind of piece that can give a room a new feel with very little effort.
