Fesmane Jute Round Rug - Natural with Grey Border

Our Fesmane round rug pairs a warm natural jute centre with a wide band of soft grey running all the way round it. The surface is a continuous braid that spirals outwards from the middle, so the texture catches the light in rings and gives a plain colourway plenty of interest underfoot. It is made from 100% jute, a plant fibre with a natural sheen, braided by hand. The grey border frames the honey and straw tones of the centre. It comes in one size, a 150cm round.

At 150cm across, this size works well in a living room under a coffee table, beside a bed, or in front of an armchair, where a round shape softens a room full of straight lines. The maker designed this rug with contemporary interiors in mind, and the two-tone border sits comfortably alongside pale wood floors and cool grey schemes. The maker also points to jute as an environmentally friendly material, a good reason to choose it if natural flooring matters to you. Jute soaks up moisture easily, so keep it in dry living spaces and away from bathrooms and basements, where it would take on damp.

The braid is 1cm thick, which is low enough for many internal doors to clear, though it is worth checking the gap beneath any door that opens across the rug. For care, the maker advises spot cleaning only and warns against bleach, ammonia or harsh cleaning products, which can harm the jute. If a stray fibre works loose, snip it with scissors rather than pulling it, because tugging can start the braid unravelling. Before you order, mark out a 150cm circle with string or tape to see how the rug sits with your furniture, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, an underlay helps keep it in place.

How much space should I leave around a 150cm round rug?

We suggest leaving a band of bare floor showing all the way round, so the grey border stays visible and the circle reads as a deliberate shape rather than a fitted covering.

How hard-wearing is a jute rug?

The maker spins the jute into strong threads before it is braided, so this is a durable rug for everyday living spaces, provided it stays dry and away from harsh cleaners.

Can I use carpet shampoo on this rug?

No. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, and strong shampoos or cleaners containing bleach or ammonia can damage the jute, so treat small marks gently by hand instead.

Can this rug go under a small dining table?

It can sit beneath a small round table such as a breakfast or bistro table, but dining chairs need room to slide back, so measure from the table with the chairs pulled out first.
