Red is a brave choice next to pale oak or grey linen, and the Kelim Mia pulls it off without shouting. It's a cotton rug, woven by hand in India from 100% cotton with a cotton backing, so the weave stays light and flat. As it is handmade, it can differ slightly from the stated size, and it suits living room corners and dining areas alike.

Flat-woven and light, the Mia is easy to lift and shake out. Rectangular, it fits as a kitchen rug in front of the worktop, under the dining table, or as a play mat in the nursery, where kids rugs get a lot of floor time. It copes with underfloor heating. Which size to pick is covered in our guide, and the same design is also woven in beige, blue, brown, grey, green and orange.

Blot spills from the outside in, with a little lukewarm water if needed. That is about all it needs, and our care guide explains how to clean your rug. A non-slip pad keeps the light weave flat on smooth floors.
