Sunday breakfast at the dining table, coffee going round, feet resting on wool instead of cold tiles. A red Gabbeh Lola under the table makes that scene warmer, and it brings the same warmth to a lounge or bedroom.

• Hand-woven in India

• Suitable for underfloor heating

Wool is hard to ignite. It won't melt either, a sensible quality in a dining room with candles on the table. Being a low pile rug, this wool rug lets chairs slide back more easily, and on smooth floors an underlay beneath it keeps it from shifting. Pure wool places it among our wool rugs, while red makes it one of the bolder bedroom rugs for a room with pale walls. Handmade sizes can vary a little, and the size guide helps you pick one that leaves a margin of floor.

Following our cleaning advice, turn the red Lola round now and then so sunlight and footsteps even out. Beat it from the back occasionally. Where a chair leg has left a dent, dampen it lightly and the wool usually lifts.
