Dining rooms often feel a little formal, and a turquoise rug under the table loosens that up. The Gabbeh Lola in turquoise does it with one clear, plain colour.

The turquoise Lola under the dining table

A low pile like this makes pulling chairs back easier, so it suits a dining room rug well. Pick a size where the chairs stay on the rug even when pushed back, something our sizing tips help you measure. Away from the table, it works as a rug for the living room or the bedroom. Heated floors are no issue.

Hand-woven wool in the turquoise Gabbeh

This wool rug is 100% wool in pile and backing. Warp and weft are crossed by hand in India to build its structure. Wool is slow to catch fire and doesn't melt, worth knowing where candles get lit at dinner. That earns it a place among our dining room rugs and our wool rugs alike.

Turquoise Lola care at the table

Blot a spill with a light cloth from the edges inwards, never rubbing. Steady vacuuming, the core of our cleaning advice, clears the loose fibres new wool sheds at first. Trim stray threads, don't pull.
