Picture the Luca in light brown under a round table in the dining room, or out in the middle of the lounge with the sofa and armchairs gathered around it. This round jute rug has a simple pattern woven into it, so it adds some texture without taking over the room.

What is the light brown Luca made of?

The Luca is 100% jute, and so is the backing underneath. Jute comes from the stalks of a plant grown mostly in India and Bangladesh, and it has a golden-brown sheen that suits the pale tone here. The Luca is handwoven in India as a flat weave, with the dry, natural texture our Jute Rugs are known for. Because the surface is flat, crumbs and hairs come away easily, and it is easier to move the chairs.

Where would the round Luca sit well?

Under a round dining table it frames the table and chairs, while in the lounge it works as an island between the seats. Next to the straight lines of a sofa and sideboard, a round rug breaks things up nicely, so the Luca makes an easy living room rug beside a sofa. The Luca is fine over underfloor heating, and there is an oval Luca in light brown too if your table is that shape. Several sizes are available, and advice on rug sizes helps you work out how much floor to cover.

How do I care for the light brown Luca?

Soak up any spill straight away with kitchen roll so no ring is left behind, and scrape off anything that has dried before you vacuum. Steam and carpet foam are not a good idea, which is why our care guide sticks to dry methods for jute. For the weekly clean, use a low suction setting with the brush switched off, or hang it over a railing to shake it out now and then.
