Grey with a quiet border suits white kitchen units and concrete-look worktops. It brings texture, not colour. Over underfloor heating this flat weave lies smoothly. Kitchens are its natural place, among jaloom's kitchen rugs, and it also fits a dining room or a rug for the living room in front of a sofa. Our sizing tips help you choose between the several sizes.

The blend is 80% jute and 20% cotton, hand woven on a loom in India with no pile, which gives it a sisal look. Jute is a plant fibre that grows back and breaks down naturally, the fibre behind our jute rugs. Under the weave sits a felt back with PVC dots.

Spills on the grey jute go onto kitchen roll at once. Set the rug on a non-slip underlay a bit smaller than itself and keep all cleaning dry, as our guide on how to clean your rug sets out. Vacuum with the brush turned off, never with steam.
