I love the earthy texture of jute under a small table. The square shape gives the furniture a clear little zone, without adding another colour to an already busy room. Best away from damp areas.

The one I’d put beside the bed for a softer first step in the morning. Its plush texture suits a cosy bedroom corner; I’d choose a flatter rug for a busy hallway.

A washable pattern is useful where a rug has to live with everyday spills. Check the smallest size for your room and the machine capacity and care guidance before buying.

The scalloped border adds a playful outline without filling the centre with pattern. A wool choice for a room that needs one statement; check shedding guidance and size.

Not the pretty part, but a sensible partner for a rug that creeps across a smooth floor. Cut or choose it to sit beneath the rug, and check compatibility with your flooring.

A traditional motif can lend a new flat a bit of history. This is for someone who wants pattern, not another beige texture; check the colourway and size before committing.
