As we were developing the rug, the passionate manager of one of our supply factories came up with an idea – that women in the village of Karupannya, in Northern Bangladesh, should weave the rugs. He wanted to make everyday life for people in the village better by giving women jobs and a stable income. And since this region in Bangladesh is known for good textile craftsmanship, it was a perfect match.

Love this rugMarie-ClaireThese rugs are so versatile and can be used anywhere. And they look great.

Perfect for what I wantedDorothyVery happy with this purchase. Soft underfoot in a bedroom. Looks much better in my room than in the shop . Very pleased with this purchase.
All rounderSarahHave always loved these, very useful to have around. Nice weight and thickness
Fantastic matKristieI love this mat. Looks & feels amazing. Super practical & ls beautiful. Overall fantastic.
Useful in so many waysJoanneAlways pick up several of these doormat sized mats. We rotate them frequently as we have hardwood floors and they are used by our dogs as a hot weather mat to lie on (we position them in cooler parts of the house and in front of the AC). We use them as bath mats, and in front of the kitchen sink to protect the floors. Love that they’re all unique and that they are made from fabric remnants.
Perfect little rugFionaGoes nicely in the kitchen. Easy to shake out. Hopefully can wash when it gets really dirty.
Perfect for the jobBirolNeeded something small for bathroom floor. Perfect for cold mornings so you don't have to step on cold tiles.
Great Value for MoneyJuliaI have four of these rugs. Three were purchased years ago. They have been washed many times, and they stay flat and still look nice. For the price, these rugs are great value. You can even coordinate them with other Ikea textiles (if you buy in store) by seeing what textile off-cuts are included in the rag rug.
RugsJayneIt may look simple, but it a wonderful addition to any doorway.
LovelyPaulineVery nice floor mat, which we use in the kitchen. Soft on the feet and looks very colorful. Only part i do not like are the tassels which I'm thinking of removing. They get caught in the vacuum.
Overall ver handy carpertMorganA great small and well priced carpet. It would be great if it could come in block colours
Love this matMandygreat mat, very happy
Big surpriseWinnyI need this kind of mat, bit longer and wider. Perfect size it is! However, I only purchased one of it because I'm worried it will pill - from the appearance it's worrying. Surprisingly it is fine and does the job!
Unique, functional and sustainable small rug for my little girl’s roomAi ShinI really dislike buying anything brand new, but was comfortable buying this rug as each one is unique and crafted from cotton fabric scraps. I chose one with lilac tones as that is my daughter’s favourite colour. In my case, it does not require the extra underlay, as it does not slip around on my daughter’s carpet. Due to its small size and cotton construction, it can also be machine-washed, which is important to me. I would be happy to purchase more of these rugs for my home, should the need arise, as the excellent price of $7 permits this, and the colours, although varied, are all quite neutral and do not look out of place in any room. One of my fave purchases from IKEA.

Accessories for TÅNUM
SustainabilityPeople and planet
People and communities
Handmade with a purpose
Each TÅNUM rug starts out as fabric scraps from our bed linen production. The scraps are repurposed by skilled craftspeople who weave the bits and pieces into unique rugs. By choosing a TÅNUM rug, you are bringing a one-of-a-kind piece into your home, crafted with nature’s resources in mind.
Story
A rug that makes a difference
TÅNUM rug is a good example of how we bring together two of our passions – sustainability and creating a better everyday life. It’s made of leftover fabric from our bedlinen production and each rug is handwoven by skilled craftspeople at responsibly organised weaving centers. No two rugs are alike so TÅNUM adds a unique touch to any home, but more importantly, it’s a rug that can mean a brighter future for those who weave it.
The inspiration for these rugs comes from traditional Swedish handicraft, where leftover fabric scraps are woven into rag rugs – a smart and responsible use of resources. The idea for TÅNUM originated from a young design student named Erik Bertell. He reimagined the rag rug in a modern way and showed that you could create contemporary and unique rugs using only reused textiles.
A stable income for women
Not the easy way, but the right way
The easiest way to produce the rugs would have been to make new fabrics instead of shipping leftover pieces to the weavers – but that wouldn’t be the IKEA way. “We like to keep things simple, but also to make products in a more sustainable way. The supplier and the rug team at the IKEA office in New Delhi worked together to make it happen,” says Rasmus Jönsson, who works with TÅNUM.
Better conditions for more people
Having people in Karupannya weave the rugs became a part of our initiative called Made by People: Handmade rugs. It’s a long-term IKEA project that establishes weaving centres close to villages. By bringing weavers together, the production process and the working environment can be monitored and improved. This creates better conditions for the weavers, their families and ultimately the rug industry throughout the region. We’re also helping to develop a new loom that enables weavers to have a more ergonomic working position and requires less muscle power to operate. “The best part is that we can offer functional and beautiful rugs for thousands of homes by using leftover materials, and at the same time create jobs for women in Bangladesh. It's good for both people and the planet," says Rasmus.
Material
What is cotton?
Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.
