Walnut furniture, a caramel leather armchair and a sofa in sage velvet all sit easily on a cream circle like the round Ava. Placed in a living room, it brings a pale patch of viscose to the middle of the floor.

• 100% viscose pile with a cotton backing
• Handwoven in India
• Plain cream, short pile
• Round, for the lounge or dining room
• Can lie over underfloor heating

Viscose is spun from wood cellulose, and that is where the soft gleam on the cream Ava comes from. Underneath, warp and weft give the circle its fine, even structure. It suits a dining room too. A hand woven rug can come out slightly larger or smaller than its stated size, so leave some leeway when you read our advice on rug sizes. Among jaloom's Round Rugs, this viscose rug gives a room a pale, quiet centre.

Water can leave rings or matt patches on viscose, so a stubborn stain should go to a specialist cleaner. Vacuum with low suction along the pile and skip beating or brushing, as our care guide explains for viscose. Cream viscose shows a darker shade wherever it is brushed the wrong way.
