Rag Rug Recycled Orange 152 x 90cm

Warm orange threads bring a sunlit, lived-in feel to the floor, softening a hallway, bedside or quiet reading corner without making the room feel too formal. This recycled cotton rag rug is handmade in India from cotton and mixed fabric, giving textile offcuts a second life as something useful, tactile and full of character.

Orange woven warmth underfoot

• The orange colourway adds an earthy brightness, easy to place with wood, terracotta, cream or natural fibres.
• Woven strips give the surface a softly uneven texture, the kind that feels relaxed rather than polished.
• The rag-rug weave brings small shifts in tone, so the colour feels layered rather than flat.
• Its rectangular shape suits practical spaces where bare flooring wants a little warmth and softness.
• Because the fabric is recycled, each rug carries natural variation in the weave and colour mix.

Handmade in India from reclaimed textiles

This piece is handmade in India using cotton and recycled fabric from the textile industry. Rag-rug making turns leftover cloth into a sturdy woven floor textile, with strips worked through the loom to create a surface that feels casual, useful and quietly expressive.

Cotton, mixed fabric and a lighter footprint

The appeal is partly practical and partly thoughtful. Cotton brings a familiar softness underfoot, while the use of recycled material keeps usable fabric in circulation for longer. It is a simple example of slow design: nothing overworked, nothing too precious, just colour, texture and everyday purpose.

Living with it at home

Use it indoors where you want an easy layer of warmth, such as beside the bed, along a narrow walkway, or in front of a favourite chair. On smooth floors, pair it with a rug underlay to help keep it steady.

Care for the woven texture

Shake it out regularly and spot clean small marks with care, using as little moisture as possible. Let it dry fully before placing it back on the floor, as cotton and mixed fabric are best kept away from prolonged damp.

Rag-rug tradition, kept useful

In Indian textile craft, rag rugs are often linked with chindi weaving, a word commonly understood as ‘torn cloth’. The idea is direct and resourceful: pieces left from cutting, making and sorting fabric are woven into something durable enough for daily life. Similar thrift crafts appear in many homes around the world, from cottage interiors to folk textiles, because they turn necessity into beauty. Here, the tradition feels especially at home in a mindful space, where visible reuse is part of the object’s quiet charm.

Common questions

Will every rug look exactly the same?
No. Recycled fabric and handmade weaving naturally create variation, so each rug has its own colour mix and texture.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?
It is best used indoors. Cotton and mixed fabric should not be left in damp conditions.

Does it need a rug underlay?
On smooth or polished floors, a rug underlay is a sensible choice to help reduce movement.
