Botanica Striped Rug - 180 (L) x 180 (W) cm

Woven from thick, heavy-duty cotton and designed in natural tones with striking green stripes, this beautiful mat creates a vibrant and calming focal point in any early years environment. Beneath its surface, a thick, non-slip backing keeps it secure on hard floors - making it ideal for play zones, circle time, or cosy reading corners.

This generously sized 180cm x 180cm square rug is crafted from 100% natural jute, blending strength with softness to suit a variety of early learning configurations. It's a visually striking piece that sparks sensory exploration while helping define safe, welcoming spaces for children to learn and connect.

Educational Benefits:

• Boosts Sensory Engagement - With its rich texture and vibrant stripes, this rug encourages children to explore with sight and touch-supporting early sensory development and curiosity.
• Facilitates Collaborative Play - The spacious square design makes it ideal for small group activities, fostering teamwork, communication, and social-emotional learning in a comfortable shared setting.
• Enhances Environmental Aesthetics - The natural colour palette combined with green accents adds brightness and calm, creating a nurturing atmosphere that supports children's emotional wellbeing and focus.
• Supports Flexible Learning Zones - Whether used for guided sessions, quiet reflection, or independent play, this rug helps define zones that suit different learning styles and needs throughout the day.

Key Considerations When Purchasing:

• Size and Shape: At 180cm x 180cm, this square mat offers excellent versatility for both small and large room layouts.
• Non-Slip Safety: Designed for hard floors, the anti-slip backing enhances safety. Note that some natural cracking of the backing may occur due to the wide weave-this is cosmetic only and does not affect grip or use.
• Natural Materials: Made from 100% jute, this rug offers durability and sustainability. Its thick cotton weave adds both visual and tactile appeal.
• Maintenance Needs: Like many natural fibre rugs, this one does not include a stain protection treatment. We recommend applying a proprietary stain guard before use and updating it regularly.

Care Instructions:

• To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Botanica Striped Rug:
• Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may cause dye to run.
• Always test for colourfastness before widespread cleaning.
• Use a dry powder cleaning method, vacuum gently (no rotating head), and blot spills - never scrub.
• Avoid outdoor use and direct sunlight to maintain colour vibrancy.
• Roll for storage; do not fold, as creases can damage the weave.

Perfect for early learning centres, childcare rooms, and primary classrooms, this rug is a versatile piece that defines space, invites interaction, and creates a visually engaging environment where children feel safe and inspired to learn.
