Yellow is a good colour for a room that gets little daylight, and this Kelim Chindi in yellow brings in a sunny tone without being loud. It works well beside grey sofas, pale wood or white kitchen units. Thin stripes run along its length, and short fringes finish both ends.

Recycled cotton, woven by hand on a loom

This cotton rug is made in India. Strips of fabric are woven by hand into a flat surface, so each piece falls a little differently in how the colours are spread. The backing is cotton too, and the face is 100% recycled cotton. Because it is flat-woven, it feels light and is easy to move. It is also suitable for use with underfloor heating. The yellow Chindi has the soft, light feel you get from cotton rugs.

Where the yellow stripes belong in your home

The stripes suit a kitchen, a living room or a child's bedroom. In the kitchen it sits happily in front of the worktop, and in a nursery rug role it gives a bright patch to play on. It also suits living room schemes that need one warm accent. Under a table, use our guide to choosing the right size so the chairs still stand on it when pulled back. Beige, blue, brown, grey, green and black versions of the Kelim Chindi exist if yellow feels too bold.

Keeping the yellow Kelim Chindi fresh

For small spills, dab with cold water and a mild cleaner, working from the edge inwards as our rug care tips show. Underneath, a pad cut a little smaller than the rug stops it creeping and keeps the corners flat. Give it a light vacuum now and then and shake it out outdoors.
