An open waffle mesh centre in ivory beige, framed by a double solid border in natural jute-look beige — the grid weave is open enough that the backing is subtly visible through the centre, which is what gives this rug its light, airy character. The denser outer border supplies the contrast and definition that stops an open weave looking unfinished. From the Kemet Collection, made in Egypt from 100% polypropylene with fringe tassels, rated for indoor and outdoor use. Three sizes: 80 x 150cm for a bedside, 160 x 230cm and 200 x 290cm for living and dining rooms.

Buying guide
Open-weave rugs are lighter in appearance and lighter in weight, which makes them easy to lift and shake out — a genuine advantage in a family room. The trade-off is that fine dust passes through to the floor, so sweep underneath occasionally rather than only vacuuming the surface. Pale rugs suit rooms with light traffic or households that remove shoes. Use a pad on hard floors, comb the fringes by hand rather than vacuuming them, and rotate twice a year. Outdoors, keep it sheltered and dry it after rain.
How it compares
Against a dense flat weave, the open mesh feels lighter and shakes out more easily, but lets fine dust through to the floor. Against a patterned rug, this stays neutral and lets the room lead. For a high-traffic entrance, a darker, denser rug is the more practical choice.
