Pair the light grey Kazach with a linen sofa, pale oak shelves or a few mustard cushions, and its faded vintage pattern stays quietly in the background. Grey and warm colours get on well.

Can the light grey Kazach go in a kitchen or a kids' room?

Yes, both work. A low pile rug like this one lies close to the floor, and polypropylene takes up hardly any water, which helps in a kitchen. For nurseries and playrooms it is one of jaloom's kids room rugs, and in a living room it sits under the coffee table. It lies happily over underfloor heating too.

How is the vintage look of the Kazach made?

Jacquard machines in Turkey weave the pattern, which keeps its lines precise and even from one end to the other. The worn effect belongs to the design. Its pile is 100% polypropylene on a jute backing, so the Kazach counts among our synthetic fibre rugs. Masking tape on the floor gives you a feel for the space before choosing the right size.

What should I do when something spills on the light grey Kazach?

Polypropylene holds liquid on the surface for a while, so you can blot without rushing. Next, as the care guide explains, go over the spot with water and a little mild soap and dab it clean. On wooden floors, an underlay cut slightly smaller than the Kazach keeps its corners flat and stops it sliding.
