Astin Sinclair styling leans toward structured silhouettes and tactile materials, allowing this door stop to align with mid-century, minimalist, and relaxed contemporary palettes. Neutral tones help integrate the piece into existing accent walls or timber trims.

FAQ
Reader questions
Will this door stop hold firmly on polished concrete and tile?
The weighted sand core provides strong grip on polished concrete and tile, though occasional repositioning may be required on very smooth surfaces to prevent sliding.
Can the boucle exterior get damaged by frequent door contact?
The boucle fabric is selected for resilience; minor pilling may appear over time with heavy use, but the reinforced base maintains overall stability.
Is the 14cm size suitable for standard household doors in New Zealand?
Yes, the 14 x 14 x 14cm profile is adequate for most interior doors, offering enough weight to hold the door without protruding excessively into tight spaces.
What is the recommended method to clean stained boucle fabric?
Spot clean with a mild detergent and cool water, gently dabbing the area. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking to preserve the fabric texture and colour.
