Barefoot on a Saturday morning, coffee in hand, you notice the floor before anything else. The light brown Paul has a flat weave and a soft, natural texture underfoot, with a pattern that stays calm rather than busy.

This oval jute rug is 100% jute, front and back. Jute comes from the stems of the Corchorus plant, grown mainly in India and Bangladesh, and the fibre has a golden-brown tone that suits the colour here. The Paul is woven by hand in India, and its weave and pattern come from the loom. Its oval outline gives the Paul a softer shape than a rectangular jute rug.

The oval shape follows an oval dining table nicely, and it also works well in the kitchen, under a breakfast table. Beside an armchair or under a coffee table, it settles into a lounge just as easily. Its calm pattern makes the light brown Paul an easy living room rug to pair with plain sofas. The Paul is suitable for use with underfloor heating, and it belongs in dry rooms. Measure your oval table, then pick a size with our sizing tips.

Dry care suits the Paul. Vacuum it without the brush and skip the steam, and mop up spills straight away with kitchen roll so no ring forms, as our guide to looking after your rug explains. Paul's dried-on marks can be scraped off gently before vacuuming.
