A plain circle of taupe, somewhere between grey and brown, with the gentle texture of hand-woven wool. Quiet but warm. This taupe rug sits easily in front of a sofa or beside a bed, and its short pile lies flat over underfloor heating too. Among our round rugs it is a neutral choice.

Crimped fibres hold air, so this round wool rug feels springy underfoot. Pile and backing are 100% wool, woven by hand in India, which puts it among wool rugs too. Beside a bed, the soft circle gives your feet a warm place to land in the morning. It lies calmly on wood or stone. Handmade sizes vary a little, and the size guide helps you settle on a diameter.

Following our cleaning advice, blot spills on the taupe Lola with a light cloth from the outside in. Loose fibres from new wool settle as you vacuum. On boards or tiles, lay an underlay just smaller than the rug beneath it.
