Off-white with a touch of brown — the calm, light base of our off-white rug, enlivened here and there by a warm brown note in the wool. Just the accent that lets the rug tie in with wood, cognac and earthy tones in your interior.
These rugs are made from ecologically tanned Icelandic sheepskins in off-white, between which we work in pelts with natural brown markings. The brown accents are not dyed: they are the sheep's own markings, and they give the patchwork technique extra depth and character.
Because each fleece is unique in its shade and markings, you will always receive a slightly different rug than what the photos show — the position and size of the brown accents also differ from rug to rug. That's precisely what makes this product so special — no two Monroes are identical.
The longer hair along with 2 shorter shorn variants — a total of 3 different lengths. Luxurious, warm, and full of character. Most chosen for large spaces.
Three different wool lengths, but without the longest hair. Sleeker, more modern, and slightly easier to maintain. Perfect for those who prefer a cleaner look.

- Simply vacuuming works excellently for daily maintenance.
- For stains: HG stain spray works very well — dirt stays on the surface due to the fine structure of the fleece.
- Stubborn spot? Cut a small piece of hair — the fleece is so fine that it's hardly noticeable.
An accident? Just come to the store — we'll repair it on the spot. That's our promise, for over ten years.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Monroe patchwork rug made of?
Ecologically tanned Icelandic sheepskins, hand-sewn together with gold thread. You recognise a genuine Monroe by that gold thread on the back.

What does this rug cost?
This rug is available from €560. For a rug from 300 cm, a round shape or a cut-out you receive a personal quote via our made-to-measure page.
How long does delivery take?
Your rug is made by hand after your order and delivered free in Belgium and the Netherlands within 2 to 4 weeks. You can also collect it from our store in Knokke.
Do you deliver outside Belgium?
Yes. Delivery to your door is free throughout Belgium and the Netherlands, within 2 to 4 weeks. Other countries are possible on request: contact us by e-mail or WhatsApp.
Can I return the rug?
Yes. On every rug you order directly from the webshop you have a statutory right of withdrawal of fourteen days from delivery, without giving a reason. Tell us by e-mail or WhatsApp and send the rug back within fourteen days of that notice, unused and in its original packaging. The direct cost of return shipping is yours; bringing it to our Knokke store is free. Rugs from 300 cm are made individually to your own specifications and fall outside the right of withdrawal.
How do I care for a sheepskin rug?
Regular vacuuming is enough. Dab stains immediately with a damp cloth; for a stubborn stain, trim a small tuft — the fine structure makes it almost invisible.
Does a sheepskin rug shed?
No. Unlike woven wool, the wool stays naturally anchored in the hide, so a Monroe does not shed.
Is every rug unique?
Yes. The pelts are natural and all different; you choose the colourway and always receive a new, unique piece in those tones. Slight differences in shade, structure and hair length belong to a natural product and are not a defect.
Can I see the rug in my own room first?
Yes. Send one photo of your room via WhatsApp (+32 474 73 66 33) or Instagram and you receive a free trial image within 2 working days. Four images cost €50, fully refunded as a voucher when you buy.
Where can I touch the rugs?
In our flagship store, Dumortierlaan 115, 8300 Knokke-Heist — open Thursday to Monday.
Which size suits your room?
A rug looks smaller on the floor than it does in your head. So rather go one size too large than too small: a Monroe should carry the seating area, not float in the middle of it. Choose a size below and see, to scale, how the rug sits in a room of 6.0 × 5.2 m.
All sizes side by side
To the same scale, next to a person of 1.75 m and a standard three-seater sofa of 220 cm.
Slide the rug 10 cm under the sofa, so that the front legs stand on it. Choose a width equal to the sofa or at most 20 cm shorter on each side: a rug that lies loose in front of the sofa makes the seating area look smaller.
A chair that is pushed back needs 60–70 cm. So add 70 cm to each side of the table top: for a table of 160 × 90 cm, 230 × 290 is enough. If your table needs more — 200 × 100 cm comes to roughly 340 × 240 cm — we make that rug on request.
Leave 30–45 cm of visible floor between rug and wall, and 60–90 cm for a walkway. The size is the outline within which the rug fits; because of the organic edge, the shape can deviate by up to 10 cm.
How to measure
- Measure the zone the rug should cover: the seating group, the bed, or the table with its chairs.
- Add 30 cm per side (65 cm for a dining table).
- Keep at least 30 cm of bare floor to the walls; a rug should not touch the skirting.
- Tape the outline on the floor with masking tape and live with it for a day. Still unsure? Send us a photo of the room and we will draw the size in.
Another size?
From 300 cm, round or with a cut-out, we make your rug individually on request, to the dimensions you give us. You receive a personal quote first; delivery in two to four weeks. Request a made-to-measure quote.
