ROGER OATES DESIGN project
Chatham Multi - A versatile design for flatweave runners & rugs
Part of the Roger Oates Design collection since 1992, Chatham remains one of our most cherished and recognisable flatweave designs. Defined by its bold single repeat stripe of multi‑width herringbone bands, it is a striking yet timeless choice that sits beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
In this London Belgravia property, rich with period features, Chatham Multi has been customised to suit a wide staircase spanning four floors. The vibrant palette enhances the home’s colour‑led interior, bringing warmth and rhythm to the architectural details while creating a visual statement across each floor.
This dynamic multi‑coloured stripe is exceptionally versatile. It lends itself effortlessly to stairs, bespoke area rugs and wall‑to‑wall installations. It offers continuity throughout a property or a bold focal point within a single room. Designed, woven and hand-finished in the UK using 100% British blend wool, single widths of flatweave can be expertly joined to create rugs of any dimension or large wall to wall floor coverings.
The colours within Chatham Multi range from rich reds and deep blues to teal greens and warm ochres, tones that feel at home in a multitude of interior schemes. Whether paired with classic wood panelling, soft neutrals or richly painted walls, the palette remains both uplifting and cohesive.
Chatham Multi is a vibrant re‑imagining of the iconic Chatham Turkey Red, one of the brand’s signature designs. Over the years it has been specified for many inspirational interiors, cementing its status as a timeless Roger Oates classic.
The Chatham design is available in four colourways: Multi, Turkey Red, Azure and Mallow, each offering its own character while retaining the unmistakable Chatham identity.
