Beige is the colour that goes with nearly everything, and this one is no exception. The Kelim Chindi Uni Beige is a plain, sandy tone that sits quietly under a grey sofa, a pine bed frame or a painted kitchen table.

• 100% cotton pile, cotton backing
• Handwoven in India
• Flat weave with fringes
• Rectangular, plain colour
• Machine washable at 30 °C

Because the weave is flat, the rug is light and easy to move, which helps when you want to shake it out or move it out of the way. It is handmade, so the weave may vary slightly from one rug to the next. Sandy beige is a safe choice for living room schemes, and it works just as well beside the bed in a bedroom. A kitchen gets a soft, washable rug that doesn't fight with your worktops. It can go over underfloor heating too. If you'd like a different shade, the same weave comes in white, blue, brown, yellow, grey and green, each one handwoven like all our cotton rugs. Because it goes through the wash, the beige Chindi is one of the more practical kitchen rugs we sell.

Keeping the beige Chindi fresh

Shake it out, vacuum it lightly and look after the cotton by dabbing small marks with cold water and a mild soap. This one can go in the machine on 30 °C, on its own. Dry it flat. Underneath, a thin pad cut a touch smaller than the rug keeps the beige from creeping across the floor.
