Cream next to a caramel leather sofa, linen curtains and a walnut sideboard: the Ava in cream gives such a room a pale, quiet base.

Does the cream Ava have a sheen?

Yes, a soft one. The short pile is 100% viscose, a fibre made from cellulose, mostly from wood, and it catches the light with a silky gleam. This viscose rug is plain, so the shine is the main feature. Heated floors suit it.

How is the Ava in cream made?

Weavers in India make it by hand on a cotton backing. Warp and weft form its structure, and since it is handmade, the final size can vary a little. It sits among our viscose rugs for that reason.

Is the cream Ava right under a dining table?

Living rooms and dining rooms both suit it. Below a table it joins our dining room rugs, and in a lounge it lies neatly in front of the sofa. Tape the area out before choosing the right size.

How should I clean the Ava in cream?

Stay dry with it and lift spills without pressing. Vacuum on low suction with the pile, and lay it on a grippy underlay smaller than the rug, as the care guide advises. Gentle handling suits it.
