How to select your Jarapas handmade rug

~ If you would like to place a rug under a dining or kitchen table, the rug should be about 120cm longer and wider than your table.

~ For well used areas such as entrance halls, halls and kitchens, choose our extra hardwearing Batalla sencilla styles, preferably in dark colours.

~ For dark floors, choose light-coloured rugs, so that they do not blend in and disappear once in place. For light-coloured flooring, choose rugs in brighter colours in order to enhance your floor surfaces.

~ Hand-woven in cotton and cotton chenille, our rugs are machine washable on a 30-degree cycle and are thus ideal if you have pets. In fact, our Mini Doble rugs are often used as bedding for cats and dogs!

Choice of colours & styles

~ Cream or light coloured rugs will brighten up dark rooms and will give a feeling of space to small rooms.

~ Cream rugs will convey a more sophisticated and elegant style.

~ Cool colours, such as green and blue will convey a feeling of freshness and peacefulness, and are ideal in rooms where you need a calming effect such as studies, offices, etc.

~ Earthy colours, such as terracotta, red, yellow, brown, will create a warm and cosy atmosphere.
