Jute has a dry, grainy feel, and mixed with cotton it lies firm and flat. In orange, this round jute rug turns a quiet corner of the lounge into a warm spot to sit.

• Surface of 80% jute and 20% cotton
• Handwoven in India
• Flat weave, felt backing with PVC nubs
• Plain orange centre with a border

A circle balances a square room nicely, and an orange rug in the middle pulls the seating together. Next to an armchair it works as one of your lounge rugs, so it belongs to our Living Room Rugs. Heated floors are no trouble for it. On smooth boards, lay an underlay first. Orange joins beige, blue and green among our Jute Rugs, and our sizing tips help you pick the right circle rug for the room.

Keep the orange circle in a dry room, well away from the bathroom. Our cleaning advice also suggests an anti-slip mat cut a little smaller than the rug. Now and then, a good beating over a railing outside is all it needs.
