Green sits happily next to oak, rattan and plain linen, and the Azizi in green is a good way to bring those pieces together without a fuss. This cotton rug is patterned and woven by hand in India, and the same design comes in beige, blue, brown, yellow, grey and orange if green isn't your shade.

Both the face and the back are 100% cotton, woven flat on a loom, with warp and weft forming both the pattern and the structure. Being flat, the rug stays light and easy to move. That suits a kitchen rug under your feet at the worktop, and it works well in a living room too. The flat weave also suits a nursery floor, where toys sit steadily on it, and in a dining room chairs slide over it without catching. It sits well over underfloor heating. As it is handmade, each rug can differ very slightly in size, so leave a little leeway when you pick the size.

Blot spills such as tea or coffee straight away with a clean cloth, following our cleaning advice, then dab the mark with a little cold water and leave the rug to dry right through. Put a non-slip pad underneath to keep the thin weave flat. Shake it out now and then and run the vacuum over it lightly.
