Grey tones run down this Kelim Azizi runner, with a quiet pattern woven into the flat surface. Because the weave is flat, the grey reads as soft and matt rather than glossy, which keeps it calm next to busier furniture. It sits well next to plain furniture.

This cotton rug is woven by hand in India, and it is made of 100% cotton. It lies flat and is light enough to lift with one hand, so it is easy to move. As a runner it suits a kitchen, a kids' room or a hallway; try a pair of them either side of a bed. Underfloor heating is fine. The pure cotton weave matches our other Cotton Rugs, and the narrow runner shape sits neatly along a worktop, much like our Kitchen Rugs.

Blot spills quickly with a damp cloth, as our guide to looking after your rug recommends. A non-slip pad cut slightly smaller than the runner stops it creeping across tiles, and it keeps the corners from lifting.
