A soft peach field, framed by a slim border, keeps this rug plain and easy to live with. The colour warms up white walls and pale wood without shouting.

Will the peach rug suit my living room?

Yes, especially in front of the sofa. Seating looks like one group when at least the front feet of the sofa and armchairs stand on the rug, and our size guide helps you get that right across the several sizes. Beneath a table it makes a calm dining room rug, and in the kitchen it joins our kitchen rugs in a gentle shade. Crumbs and pet hair come off the flat weave easily. It suits underfloor heating.

What is the peach border rug woven from?

80% jute and 20% cotton, woven by hand in India, with a felt back carrying PVC dots. The blend gives this jute rug a sisal look and a firm, dry feel. Its main fibre is the one behind our Jute Rugs.

What should I do if I spill something on the peach rug?

Follow our cleaning advice and soak it up straight away with kitchen roll so no ring is left. Once anything has dried, scrape it off and vacuum. Now and then, hang the rug over a banister and beat it.
