Set a round oak table and a few cane chairs on the taupe Nele and the dining corner comes together around one circle. Linen cushions and a pale wood sideboard keep the look soft.

Taupe Nele round in pure jute

This round jute rug is 100% jute, including the back, and woven by hand in India. Its weave lies flat and feels firm underfoot. Like all jaloom's jute rugs, the Nele brings a natural fibre to the floor and is fine over underfloor heating. Hand weaving means it may differ slightly from the size listed.

The Nele under a round table or in the lounge

Under a round dining table, a circle follows the shape of the top, which is why the Nele sits among our dining room rugs. Chairs should stay on it when pushed back, so mark the circle with masking tape and check it against the size guide. In the lounge it works in front of the sofa or beside an armchair, and a taupe rug like this sits easily with grey and cream. Put an underlay beneath it on smooth floors such as tiles or laminate.

Caring for the taupe Nele circle

Our guide on how to clean your rug treats jute as a dry-care fibre, so the Nele is vacuumed without the brush and never steamed. Soak up spills with kitchen roll at once, so no ring stays on the fibre. Crumbs lift easily from the flat jute weave.
