Beige and cream squares make this circle rug easy to place next to almost anything. Wooden chairs, a linen sofa, a dark metal side table: the soft checkerboard pattern sits quietly underneath and lets the furniture do the talking. A round rug like this also takes the edge off a boxy room, so a square living room feels a little less rigid.

Polypropylene face, jute back, made in Turkey

The pile is 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fibre that is dyed right through, and the back is jute. Machine weaving in Turkey is why the checks come out so crisp and even. This is a flat weave, so the surface stays smooth. Polypropylene soaks up hardly any water, which is why this rug works outdoors as well as indoors. A covered terrace suits it in summer, and so does the dining room.

Under the table or in front of the sofa

In the dining room, the circle sits well under a round table, as long as the chairs still land on it when pulled back. Living rooms suit it too, as an island beside an armchair or in a reading corner. Its soft squares make it a gentle checked rug for a reading corner, and the synthetic fibre lets it move outside in summer. Measure the table first, then pick the diameter that leaves room for the chairs. Over underfloor heating it is fine as well.

Looking after the beige Boho circle

Spilt coffee or juice stays on the surface for a while, so you have time to blot it up. Then work on the spot with a little gentle soap in water and dab with clean water, which is the routine our page on looking after your rug describes. Just keep hot pans away from the Boho in Beige, since heat is the one thing polypropylene dislikes.
