FAQs

What sparked the idea behind this collection?

Thomas Bexon is an inspiring Aussie, and we love partnering with creative people who are doing interesting things. His boards inspire us, and our Creative Director (who surfs them) loved the designs of Thomas’ boards and thought they would be really cool as runners in the home — especially for those beachside or those who want to be! The Thomas Surfboards x Double collaboration draws inspiration from the laid-back atmosphere of 1970s surf shacks and the iconic shapes of Thomas Surfboards' longboards, reflecting the carefree spirit of the Australian beach community.

How do you clean and maintain these rugs?

The good news is that our rugs are entirely machine washable, ready to tackle whatever Aussie life throws their way – from sandy footprints to a touch of outdoor adventure that finds its way indoors. For best results, wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild, non-bleach detergent. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning as needed will help maintain their pristine look.

What room is the collection’s rug shape best suited for?

Our runner rugs are versatile heroes, perfect for areas that need a splash of coastal design. Their elongated shape makes them specially ideal for hallways, entryways, or even as a statement piece in living rooms or kitchens. Their 58x280cm size fits beautifully in narrow spaces, adding style and warmth wherever they land.

How should I orient the rug? Is there a specific way it should be placed in a room?

Orienting your runner rug is all about enhancing your space’s visual flow. For hallways and entryways, align the runner lengthwise to guide the eye and create a seamless flow. In larger rooms, consider positioning the runner parallel to furniture or architectural lines to complement the layout.

What materials are these rugs made from?

Crafted from durable, non-slip, and non-toxic materials, our runners blend durability with style, making them a hit in active households with energetic little ones and fur friends. From this collection, you can expect soft, cosy textures like Chenille and Cotton Feel that instantly warm up your space.
