A light grey runner beside the bed makes a bedroom feel ordered and quiet. The Gabbeh Lola in light grey lies there without drawing attention, and your feet meet something soft rather than a cold floor. Light grey stays quiet.

This low pile rug stays flat, so it lies neatly next to the bed. Along a hallway, the runner frames the path through the house. Leave a strip of bare floor along the walls and at doorways so the doors swing freely, and it becomes a tidy hallway runner.

Sheep's wool is slow to catch fire and doesn't melt. Hand-woven in India, this wool rug has a pile and backing of 100% wool and is suitable for underfloor heating. Light grey Lola fits in among wool rugs and bedroom rugs alike.

Being handmade, it can be a little off its listed size, and our advice on rug sizes helps when you plan the bedside or the hall.

Blot spills with a pale cloth from the edge towards the centre without rubbing, and on smooth floors lay an underlay a bit smaller than the runner beneath it. New wool loses a few loose fibres at first, a normal stage covered in how to clean your rug. Vacuum the light grey Lola regularly and they soon stop.
