Chindi rugs are sought after by amateur and professional designers alike for their earthy, boho flavor. Handwoven in India of 100% organic cotton fibers, the Delonn Collection takes a new twist on the classic braided pattern. Cream stripes pair equally well with gray, navy, and beige to create an all-natural neutral that goes with everything. Made from 100% Cotton, this handmade rug should be treated more carefully than machine-made rugs due to the artisanal nature in which they are created. Remove any stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth or sponge. Avoid using water as that might damage and discolor the natural fibers, instead, for tougher stains use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. For dry debris take the rug outdoors and give it a good shake. Rotate for even wear.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Should I use a rug pad with this handmade cotton rug?
Based on our expertise with handwoven textiles, we highly recommend using a rug pad. A quality pad provides necessary grip to prevent the rug from sliding on hard surfaces and adds an extra layer of cushioning that protects both the rug’s weave and your flooring. Additionally, a pad helps the rug retain its shape over time, extending the life of the organic cotton fibers.
What are the benefits of choosing a handmade cotton chindi rug?
This rug is handwoven in India from 100% organic cotton fibers, offering a unique, artisanal texture that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. Known as "chindi" rugs, these pieces are highly valued by designers for their earthy, boho-chic aesthetic. Because they are handmade, each rug possesses a slightly distinct character, making it a one-of-a-kind foundation for your living space.
How should I clean and maintain this rug to ensure its longevity?
Because of its artisanal, handwoven nature, this rug requires more gentle care than synthetic alternatives. Our expert recommendations include blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge—avoiding water is critical as moisture can damage or discolor natural cotton fibers. For deeper cleaning or tougher stains, use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. To maintain a fresh appearance, periodically take the rug outdoors for a vigorous shake to remove debris and rotate it regularly to ensure even wear.
Is a 7'10" x 10' rug the right size for a standard living room?
A 7'10" x 10' rug is an ideal "room-size" rug that anchors larger seating areas effectively. To avoid the "floating rug" look, we recommend positioning the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the fibers. For a balanced, professionally designed feel, aim to follow the "18-inch rule," leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.
Does the striped pattern and gray-cream palette work well with specific decor styles?
Yes, the neutral gray and cream tones are exceptionally versatile, making this rug a perfect fit for coastal, casual, or boho-inspired interiors. The cream stripes are designed to pair seamlessly with other common furniture colors like navy, beige, or charcoal. This "all-natural neutral" approach allows the rug to provide a textured backdrop that complements vibrant accents without overwhelming the room's color scheme.
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas in a coastal home?
While 100% organic cotton is breathable and well-suited for the airy feel of coastal environments, its artisanal construction means it should be handled with care in very high-traffic zones. In humid climates, it is particularly important to follow the "no-water" cleaning rule to prevent moisture from being trapped in the natural fibers. For the best results in busy households, we recommend using this rug in spaces where its soft, organic feel can be enjoyed while following a consistent rotation schedule to manage foot traffic.
