VanguardSumptuous CollectionFossil

Vanguard Sumptuous Fossil is a pale, neutral carpet that brings warmth to any room without demanding careful maintenance. The plain weave and soft saxony pile give it a clean, understated look that pairs well with modern and traditional schemes alike. At 13.5mm deep, the pile feels underfoot without showing footprints or vacuuming patterns, and it sits comfortably in bedrooms, living rooms, halls and landings where you want comfort without fuss.

What sets this carpet apart is its bleach-cleanable fibre. Spill something on it and you can tackle stubborn marks head on, rather than tiptoeing around stains. The polypropylene construction means it resists moisture and holds its colour well, even in homes where life gets messy.

Where it works

The pale colour and neutral tone work in open-plan spaces and adapt to most decorative schemes. Stairs and hallways benefit from the durability and simple colour that doesn’t show dust.
