Description
Our Fesmane round rug pairs a natural jute centre with a sage green border, a simple two-tone look in which the soft green outlines the warm natural fibre and gives the circle a clear frame. It is made from 100% jute, a plant fibre with a gentle sheen, and every rug is braided by hand, so the whole surface has a close, textured braid. There is no printed design to date it: the interest comes from the jute itself and from that band of colour. It comes in one size, a 150cm round.
At 150cm across, it suits a living room, set under a coffee table or in front of an armchair, and it sits just as comfortably beside a bed in a bedroom. A round shape softens a room full of square furniture and fits spaces where a rectangle would feel boxy, such as a bay window or the open floor between two chairs. The maker had contemporary rooms in mind, so the natural jute and its quiet green border sit easily in a modern scheme. Jute is also a plant fibre the maker values as a choice that is kinder to the environment.
The rug is 1cm thick, so it lies low; where a door opens across the spot, check the gap under the door first so that it clears the rug. Our maker's care is spot cleaning only, so treat marks where they fall rather than cleaning the whole piece. Before you order, mark out a 150cm circle with string or masking tape to see how it sits with your furniture and walkways. On a smooth wooden or tiled floor, add an underlay to help keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Is the sage green border also made of jute?
Yes. The whole rug is 100% jute, so the sage green border is the same natural fibre as the centre, simply in a green shade.
Is a jute rug hard-wearing enough for a busy living room?
The maker tells us the jute is spun into strong yarn for a durable rug, so it suits the everyday footfall of a living room or a bedroom well.
Can this jute rug go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. Jute takes up moisture readily, and the maker advises keeping the rug away from damp places such as bathrooms and basements, so a dry room is the right home for it.
Which cleaning products should I avoid on this rug?
The maker advises against bleach, ammonia and any harsh cleaning products, because they can damage the jute fibres. Keep to gentle spot cleaning of the marked area.
What should I do if loose fibres appear on the rug?
Snip any loose fibre neatly with scissors rather than pulling it, because pulling can start the braid unravelling. A quick trim keeps the surface tidy without loosening the weave.
