Orange warms a grey lounge straight away, and next to navy or olive cushions it looks richer still. The orange Gabbeh Uni keeps that colour plain and even. Its low pile sits flat in a living room, a bedroom or under a dining table, and on smooth floors it wants an underlay beneath it.

Crimped wool fibres hold small pockets of air, which gives this orange rug its springy feel. Pile and backing are both wool, the pile 100% wool, woven by hand in India, which places it among our wool rugs. Handmade sizes vary slightly, so bear that in mind when choosing the right size. It lies happily over underfloor heating.

Turn the orange Uni now and then so sun and footsteps spread evenly. A light dampening, as our guide on how to clean your rug describes, usually lifts any dent a table leg leaves. Beat it from the back occasionally and let it air.
