Orange on a floor changes a room before you've even sat down. The Sisalteppich Orange brings that colour to a jute rug with a sisal-look weave, and it sits happily by the kitchen table or in front of the sofa.

• Jute and cotton blend, flat woven
• Handwoven in India
• Felt backing with PVC nubs
• Rectangular, with a border and plain centre
• Suitable for underfloor heating

The weave feels firmer and rougher underfoot than wool, and it sits well in the kitchen or dining room. Because the rug is woven by hand, it can differ slightly from the stated size. If you'd like a different shade, the same model comes in beige, blue, brown, cream, grey and green, and the jute blend gives each one the same dry texture as our other jute rugs. Before a plain sofa, the orange gives a lounge the warmth of our bolder living room rugs. A thin non-slip pad helps on smooth floors.

Jute prefers dry conditions, so keep it out of damp rooms. Dried-on mess can be scraped off and vacuumed, a step our cleaning advice covers for jute. Orange jute also likes a proper airing now and then, hung over a banister and beaten gently.
