Fawkes Rising Round Rug - Harry Potter Chair Mat

Wings spread wide and flames curling behind its crest, a phoenix rises from the center of this Harry Potter round rug. The artwork is laid out for the circle, with a burning medallion in the middle, a ring of cream parchment around it and a deep burgundy border of feathers and scrollwork.

A circle softens a square room. Under a desk chair it works as a chair mat, beside a bed it gives you something warm to step onto, and in front of an armchair it marks out a reading spot.

The Design: Phoenix in Ember Light

This is Fawkes caught mid-rise, scarlet body and amber-gold tail feathers fanning downward while a halo of flame glows behind him. The palette stays in one family: scarlet, molten orange and burnished gold against creamy parchment and a plum so dark it nearly reads as wine. Nothing here is cool or blue, which makes the whole circle feel lit from within.

The smaller details reward a closer look. Four little nests burn in round frames at the diagonals, a pair of gold perches stands near the top, crescent moons and stars sit at left and right, and crossed wands rest near the bottom. Gold teardrops run through the scrollwork like a quiet nod to the phoenix's healing tears.

Fawkes on the Floor

The rug is cut in a true circle, so it reads as a round area rug rather than a square print with the corners trimmed off. Its soft plush low-pile surface feels good under bare feet, and the pile is short enough that a chair glides over it without catching. Underneath, a non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate. The rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dried. A dye-sublimation print sets the colors into the fibers, so the reds and golds stay put through washing.

Set beside the bed, it becomes a bedroom rug with a glow of its own. The smaller diameters work as an accent rug in a hallway or next to a bookcase, where the flame medallion is the one bright note in the room.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) up to 180 cm (70.9″): 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm. The 80 and 100 cm sizes suit the space under a desk chair or beside a bed. Go to 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook or a corner of a kids' room, where the whole phoenix stays in view. At 160 or 180 cm the medallion becomes the center of a seating area, and the burgundy border frames the furniture around it.

Two levels are offered. Standart Level is solid everyday quality. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing for spots that see a lot of foot traffic.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and let it air-dry; the phoenix's reds and golds are printed into the fibers, so they hold up.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, so the rug stays where you put it, even under a busy desk chair.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet, and the flame medallion stays crisp against it.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 80 or 100 cm for under a desk chair, 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook, and 160 or 180 cm if you want the phoenix as the center of the room.
