Runner Rug, Indian Cotton Black Grey 70x170cm

• The black and grey tones sit quietly with wood, stone, tile and simple painted walls.
• The cotton surface gives a softer landing than a bare floor, especially in narrow everyday spaces.
• Its runner shape draws the eye along a hall, beside a bed, or through a bathroom.
• The monochrome look works with natural baskets, linen, ceramics and other calm home textures.
• It can also mark out a simple place for stretching or slow morning movement.

This rug is made from cotton in Panipat, India, a city north of Delhi known for its weaving communities and textile production. Cotton suits a home rug well because it is breathable, soft to touch and comfortable for bare feet. The black and grey colourway keeps the focus on texture and placement, rather than a loud decorative statement.

Use it where you want a narrow strip of softness: a hallway, the side of a bed, a bathroom floor, a dressing area, or a small yoga corner. On smooth floors, a rug underlay is a sensible addition if you want extra grip.

Shake it out regularly and vacuum gently to lift dust from the weave. Keep cotton away from prolonged damp, and let it dry fully if it becomes wet. Rotate it from time to time so the surface wears more evenly in busy spots.

Panipat has long been associated with woven home textiles, with family workshops and larger textile businesses sitting side by side in the city’s making culture. Cotton rugs like this belong to a practical Indian home tradition: useful, tactile pieces that soften hard floors without dominating the room. In a modern home, the same idea still works beautifully. It gives a small daily threshold a little more care, whether that is stepping out of bed, crossing the hall, or rolling into a few quiet stretches.

Measures 170 × 70 cm and weighs approximately 1200 g. Made from cotton in India. Colour: black and grey.

A considered gift for someone setting up a new home, refreshing a hallway, or creating a calmer corner for movement and rest. Its neutral colours make it easier to choose than a highly patterned rug.
