Description
Our Franvora round rug brings the quiet texture of natural fibre to your floor in a soft light beige, finished all the way round with a sand border that frames the circle. There is no pattern: the surface is a close, nubbly weave of flecked light beige and beige yarns that reads as one calm shade from across a room and shows its basket-like detail when you stand over it. It is woven, and the fibre is 90% sisal with 10% polyester, so the texture you notice underfoot is mostly natural sisal. It comes as a 200cm round.
The maker designed this rug for the busy, well used rooms of a home, where a hard wearing natural fibre earns its keep. At 200cm across it is a generous size: it can sit under a small round dining table, or draw an armchair or two and a side table together into one comfortable seating spot. A circle also softens a room full of straight lines, from square furniture to floorboards, and the neat sand border keeps the whole rug looking tidy and finished. It suits anyone who wants warmth and texture underfoot without a pattern competing with the rest of the room. Keep it to dry rooms indoors.
The maker gives its thickness as 1cm, so check the clearance under any door that has to open across it before you settle on its spot. Care is all dry: vacuum regularly, always in one direction rather than back and forth, using the standard floor tool on your vacuum cleaner. Keep it dry, and when it needs moving or storing, roll it up; never fold it. Before you order, mark out a 200cm circle on the floor with string or tape to see how it sits with your furniture, and on a smooth floor an underlay beneath it helps keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Is a 200cm round rug big enough to go under a dining table?
It suits a small round table best. Measure your table and add the distance your chairs travel when pulled out. If the total fits within a 200cm circle, the chairs stay on the rug as people sit down.
Does a sisal rug feel soft underfoot?
Sisal is a firm, textured natural fibre, so expect a crisp, nubbly surface rather than a plush one. This is the rug to choose when you value natural character and hard wear over a soft, sink-in feel.
Can this rug go in a bathroom or a conservatory?
We would not put it there. The maker's care asks you to keep the rug away from the wet, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms where damp and splashes will not reach it.
What should I do about a serious spill or stain?
For a serious spill or stain the maker recommends professional cleaning. Because the rug needs to stay dry, it is not one to soak or scrub at home.
