Description
Our Franvora round rug brings the plain, honest look of natural fibre to the floor, in a light beige set off by a crisp black border that circles the whole rug. Close up, the surface shows a tight, nubbly woven texture with no printed pattern, so the interest comes from the weave itself. It is made from 90% sisal with 10% polyester, and the maker describes it as a woven design, finished with a coordinating border. It comes in one size, a 200cm round.
The maker intends this rug for the busy rooms of a home, the ones that see daily foot traffic, and the hard-wearing character of sisal is what suits it to them. At 200cm across, it is generous enough to sit beneath a round table or to anchor a seating area in a living room, and its circle softens a room full of straight lines. The light beige keeps a space feeling bright, while the black border gives the rug a defined outline that ties in with dark wood or painted furniture. Because the weave carries no pattern, it sits happily beside busier fabrics and prints elsewhere in a room.
The rug is tightly woven and 1cm thick, which matters if it will lie near a door: check the gap beneath the door before you buy. Day to day, the maker asks for regular vacuuming and for the rug to be kept dry, so choose a room free of damp. Before you order, measure the space and mark out a 200cm circle on the floor to see how it sits, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, lay an underlay beneath it to help keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
Which vacuum attachment should I use on this sisal rug?
The maker recommends the standard floor tool, run over the rug in one direction only rather than pushed back and forth, and doing this regularly keeps the weave looking its best.
What should I do about a spill or a stain?
For anything serious, the maker recommends professional cleaning, and as the rug should be kept away from the wet, we would not soak it or scrub it with water at home.
How do I store the rug or move it to another room?
Roll it up and keep it rolled for storage or moving; the maker advises against folding the rug at any point, so never fold it to fit a cupboard or a car.
Is a 200cm round rug large enough for a round dining table?
It can be, depending on your table. Measure the table, then allow for the chairs being pulled back; if the chair legs would slip off the rug when someone sits down, a 200cm round is too small for that spot.
Can this rug go in a bathroom?
We would keep it out of bathrooms and anywhere damp, since the maker asks for the rug to stay away from the wet; a dry living room, dining room or bedroom suits it far better.
