Smooth and cool to the touch, the Ava in beige has a short viscose pile with a soft shine that catches the light from the window.

The beige Ava in lounge and dining room

Plain beige works with almost any sofa fabric, which makes this beige rug for the living room easy to plan around. Below a dining table it sits calmly too, and heated floors pose no problem. Beige Ava is one of our living room rugs, and the Ava comes in cream, dark brown, dark green, light grey, mint and red as well. Our advice on rug sizes helps you choose the format.

Handwoven viscose from India

The pile is 100% viscose, a fibre spun from cellulose, mostly from wood, which is where the silky gleam comes from. Behind it sits a cotton backing. Each Ava is woven by hand in India, so the final size may differ a little from the stated one. Handmade rugs vary like that. Like other viscose rugs, it lies more securely on smooth floors with an underlay beneath.

Looking after the Ava in beige

Viscose prefers a spot away from the busiest walkways. Treat it dry wherever you can, lifting spills gently without pressing, as our care guide recommends. Beige Ava stays put on a grippy underlay cut a little smaller than the rug.
