Bedrooms with white walls and pale floors can take a strong colour, and an orange rug by the bed does exactly that. The Gabbeh Lola runner in orange is warm and plain. Mornings feel brighter with it.

• Short pile, plain orange
• Runner shape for bedside, hall or landing
• Fine over underfloor heating
• 100% wool, pile and backing
• Hand-woven in India

Wool fibres are crimped and trap air between them, which is why this wool rug feels springy to stand on. Warp and weft, crossed by hand on the loom, give it a firm structure that stays flat as a hall runner or as one of jaloom's bedroom rugs. Pure wool puts it among our wool rugs. Handmade runners can vary a little in length, and the size guide helps you leave floor showing at both ends.

A light cloth, pressed on a spill from the outside inwards and never rubbed, is the main tool in our rug care tips for the orange Lola. An underlay a little smaller than the runner keeps it from sliding on tiles. Vacuum regularly and the loose fibres that new wool sheds at first soon stop.
