Think of a Saturday morning in bare feet, coffee in hand, with the children building towers on the floor beside you. The Azizi in beige has a flat, matt surface that suits exactly that sort of day. Its pattern is quiet and its sandy tone sits easily next to wooden floors, so it is just as at home in a living room as in a nursery or the kitchen. Kitchen floors suit it as well, and under the dining table the chairs slide back easily. Pick a size for the beige Azizi with our size guide, which goes through it step by step. Because it is flat-woven, it is also light and easy to move, though on smooth floors a non-slip underlay keeps it from wandering.

This is a cotton rug, woven by hand in India on a loom. The weave is 100% cotton and the backing is cotton too, so the Azizi feels soft rather than scratchy. It suits underfloor heating as well. That soft, natural feel is what most cotton rugs have in common, and the beige Azizi shows it well.

Small spots on the beige should be dabbed with cold water and a mild cleaner, then left to dry properly, as our rug care tips explain. A flat-weave like this can be turned over from time to time.
