Dining rooms with a wooden table and mismatched chairs suit the beige Amira and its faded vintage pattern. It looks lived-in from day one.

Its pile blends 85% polypropylene with 15% polyester on a jute backing. Jacquard machines in Turkey weave the design, keeping the lines precise and the pattern even across the whole beige rug. Synthetic fibre like this takes up very little moisture, and it belongs with jaloom's synthetic fibre rugs.

Being a low pile rug, the Amira moves easily between rooms, from the kitchen to a kids' room or the lounge. Floors with underfloor heating suit it. Its worn look also gives it a place among jaloom's vintage rugs.

Under the table, pick a size that leaves the chairs on the rug even when someone pushes back. Our advice on rug sizes gives the margin to add on every side.

Our rug care tips suggest blotting first on the beige Amira, since spills rest on the fibre for a while. Follow with water mixed with a gentle cleaner and a dab of clear water. Only heat harms this synthetic pile.
