Many of the rugs and mats in this category are crafted from high-quality and durable materials, with cotton, jute, and a blend of polyester and cotton being the most common. For instance, several products like the Cotton Neutral Mat and the Cotton Mat Boathouse are made from 100% premium quality cotton, offering a soft texture and excellent durability. On the other hand, items such as the Rug 200x300cm Charcoal Border and the Rug Natural 160 x 240 use jute, a sustainable and tough material known for its hardwearing nature. Additionally, some products like the Runner Chenille/Wash Floral incorporate a mix of polyester and cotton, which provides both strength and a lightweight quality that is easy to care for.

Proper care and maintenance are crucial to extending the life of your rug or mat. For products like the Cotton Neutral Mat and the Cotton Mat, regular vacuuming is recommended to remove dust and debris. In case of spills, it's important to blot the area immediately with an undyed cloth to prevent stains. These cotton rugs should not be dry-cleaned or exposed to harsh chemicals, and they should not be folded or kept in airtight bags. Instead, store them rolled up to avoid creases. For longevity, avoid direct sunlight which can cause fading, and rotate the rug regularly to ensure even wear. Professional cleaning is recommended for deeply embedded dirt or persistent stains.

For instance, rugs like the Cotton Mat Marine - thick weave are crafted from 100% premium cotton, offering a soft yet resilient surface that can withstand rough play and high traffic. Similarly, the Runner Chenille/Wash Russet 80 x 300cm is made from a blend of polyester and cotton, making it not only durable but also slip-free and shed-free, which is ideal for ensuring the safety of kids and pets.

Preventing your rug or mat from slipping can enhance safety and maintain the integrity of the product. Products such as the Runner Chenille/Wash Mix 80 x 300cm are specifically designed with non-slip features due to their unique weave and material composition. For additional security, you can use non-slip rug pads underneath your mats to keep them in place, particularly in high-traffic areas. Double-sided carpet tape is another effective solution, especially for lighter rugs. By ensuring your rug is firmly in place, you can avoid unexpected slips and falls and extend the life of your rug.

While many of the rugs and mats in this category are primarily designed for indoor use, some items are versatile enough for outdoor settings. For example, the Cotton Mat Beachside - thick weave is lightweight and practical, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as beach outings or picnics. However, it's important to note that not all mats are treated for outdoor durability. If you decide to use an indoor mat outside, ensure it is not exposed to harsh weather conditions for extended periods. Always bring them inside after use to maintain their quality and longevity.

Jute rugs offer a host of benefits that make them a popular choice for many homeowners. Products like the Rug 160x240cm Charcoal Border and the Rug Natural 200 x 300cm are crafted from 100% jute, a material known for its strength, durability, and sustainability. Jute is a natural fibre that is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Its texture is soft yet resilient, providing comfort underfoot while standing up to heavy traffic. Jute rugs also have a unique aesthetic appeal, offering a rustic, earthy look that complements a wide range of décor styles. Additionally, jute's natural lustre and ability to absorb sound make it an excellent choice for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in any room.

For instance, products like the Rug Bold Stripe 160x240cm are noted for their ability to reduce echoing and create a more peaceful environment. Rugs absorb sound by preventing sound waves from bouncing off hard surfaces like floors and walls. This can be particularly beneficial in large, open spaces or rooms with high ceilings where sound tends to carry. By strategically placing rugs in key areas, like living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, you can improve the acoustics of your home and create a quieter, more serene atmosphere.

Handwoven rugs carry a unique significance, both in terms of craftsmanship and cultural value. Each handwoven rug, such as the Cotton Neutral Mat and the Rug Natural 160 x 240, is meticulously crafted, often involving skilled artisans who pour their expertise and attention to detail into every piece. This process ensures that each rug is not only of high quality but also distinct, with slight variations that add to its charm and exclusivity. Additionally, handwoven rugs tend to be more durable and robust compared to machine-made alternatives, as the intricate weaving techniques enhance the strength and durability of the fibres. Furthermore, owning a handwoven rug often supports traditional artisans and helps preserve cultural heritage, providing you with a unique piece of craftsmanship that tells a story.
