The interest here is all in the border. A softly textured grey centre is framed by a wide tribal border carrying layered geometric motifs — diamonds, dashes and stripes woven in varied textures — which gives the rug a kilim-inspired, handcrafted appearance while keeping the middle calm enough to place furniture on. That is a deliberate and clever balance: you get the character of a tribal rug without a pattern fighting your sofa. From the Kemet Collection, 100% polypropylene with a jute look, fringe tassels, made in Egypt, rated for indoor and outdoor use. Three sizes: 80 x 150cm, 160 x 230cm and 200 x 290cm.

Buying guide
A wide border needs to stay visible to do its job, so size the rug so that furniture sits on the plain centre and the border remains clear. In a living room that usually means going one size larger than feels necessary. The calm centre also makes this a good choice under a dining table, where a busy all-over pattern shows every crumb. Vacuum on a low setting, comb the fringes, rotate twice a year, and use a pad on hard floors. Outdoors, keep it sheltered and dry it fully after rain.
How it compares
Against an all-over tribal rug, this keeps the middle calm so furniture sits well on it. Against a plain rug, the border supplies genuine character. For a room where the rug should be the focal point, the Isla patterns lead more strongly.
