Rows of small stepped diamonds run across the Kelim Azizi in brown, and the lines of the weave give the design a gently graphic look. The brown is deep but warm, so it sits happily alongside lighter cushions and throws.

Soft and matt rather than scratchy, this cotton rug suits bare feet and floor play. Handwoven in India, it gets both its pattern and its structure from warp and weft working together. Cotton is light, so it moves easily.

The surface is flat, woven from cotton with a cotton back. Crumbs and hair are easy to remove, and chairs are easy to shift on it. That makes it a sensible kitchen rug, and it does well in a dining room. In the living room it works nicely in front of a sofa, and in a child's room it is a calm, warm kids room rug. The same design also comes in other colours, such as grey, blue and beige.

You can have it in several sizes, and finding the right fit is easier if you tape the floor area out first.

Blot small stains at once with a little cold water and a mild cleaning product, as our guide on how to clean your rug recommends. Let the spot dry fully. A light vacuum or a good shake outdoors does the rest.
