Description
Our Chola rug is a woven cotton rug in brown, laid out as a classic checkerboard: brown squares alternate with lighter ones in even rows from end to end, and each square has softened, slightly broken edges where it meets the next. The surface has a nubbly, textured look rather than a flat, printed one, so the pattern reads as part of the rug itself. It measures 200cm long and 140cm wide, a size that covers a good stretch of floor without filling a whole room. The material is 83% cotton, with 8% polyester, 7% viscose, 1% acrylic and 1% polyamide making up the rest.
At 200cm by 140cm it suits a living room, sitting in front of a sofa with a side table or two standing on it, and it works equally well under a small round dining table, giving the dining corner of an open room a defined patch of floor. A checked pattern brings rhythm to a plain wooden or painted floor, and brown sits comfortably beside warm timber, terracotta and deep greens. It is a lively choice for anyone who likes pattern underfoot and wants one rug to set the tone for the furnishings around it; in a calm, plain room it gives the floor a single point of interest.
The rug is woven, and its care is simple: it is spot clean only, so you treat a mark where it lands rather than washing the whole rug, and the care guidance says no drying and no ironing. It weighs 6KG, which is worth knowing before you roll it up to move it between rooms. For styling, let the checks lead: pair the rug with plain upholstery and one or two pieces in a single strong colour, and keep smaller patterns to cushions and throws so the floor stays the main event.
