Sunday morning, a cup of coffee and bare feet on a green circle by the window. This round jute rug feels firm and a little rough under your soles, rougher than wool would be, and it brings a fresh, leafy colour into the lounge or the dining room.

Green under the table or by the sofa

Without a pile to flatten, the circle keeps its even look under a round table, where it serves as a dining room rug. It sits comfortably next to a sofa too. Heated floors are fine. Measuring the table first makes choosing the right size of green circle much easier.

Hand-loomed jute with a green border

This one was woven on a hand loom in India and has no pile at all, just a flat face of 80% jute and 20% cotton. Beneath it lies a felt backing with PVC nubs. A plain green centre sits inside a border, and next to the beige and cream versions in jaloom's Jute Rugs it is the stronger colour. Its shape places it among jaloom's Round Rugs.

Airing and cleaning the green circle

Now and then, drape it over a railing outdoors and beat out the dust. Jute takes up moisture, and a dry room is the first rule in our guide on how to clean your rug. Green corners won't curl if you add an anti-slip mat cut just inside the edge.
