This low pile rug suits a bedroom, a lounge or the dining room. For dining, pick a size where the chairs stay on the rug even when pulled back, and check our help on choosing the right size first. On wooden floors or tiles, an underlay keeps it in place. Cream Calo is one of our Bedroom Rugs and sits softly under the side of a bed. Being handmade, it can vary slightly in size.

Our care guide notes that new wool sheds loose fibres at first, and on the cream Calo that settles with regular vacuuming. Snip any thread that stands up with scissors rather than pulling it. Where furniture has pressed it down, dampen the spot lightly and the wool pile usually springs back.
