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.

I love these!MireilleThey remind of the rugs my grandma used to make and lend such a homey feel to my bedroom!
TånumMarilynI use these mats on my stairs; they work well for me.
Love the weight of ThisLara Or flimsy, perfect area rug for my bedroom and the weave and weight are perfect for no curly ends as I slumber over it in the moring
Very nice rugJessI have several of these rugs and just love them. Good quality and lasts long
Pretty and well made.StephaniePretty and well made but flips up and over too easily. I am always having to reposition. I would like it to be heavier, more substantial for use in kitchen.
tanum rugRaymatched well with decor
Scandinavian look.GeraldGreat for our sauna!
Not recommended CliveThe product assembled and ran as pictured. But even with the optional second filter, there was no noticeable difference in air quality in our 12’x12’ bedroom. Rather pointless for a $100 purchase, so I returned it. I suggest checking online reviews for this item.
Good mat for by backSylviaGood mat for by back door.
My cat and I love these!RobinMy cat will sometimes barf on these floor mats, but not to worry! Just throw them into the washing machine and they'll come out as good as new!! My cat also likes to run and jump onto them, which makes him slide down the hall. He has fun doing that. I like that they're sturdy, lightweight, and easy to clean. They also look nice (when they're not being rumpled up by the cat). I'd recommend to anyone who wants a nice looking, decently priced floor mat, that's easy to clean.

Great price when on saleConnieWas looking for something to help my dog not slip and not break the bank. Bought two of these for around my bed. To help it not slide I stuck painters tape underneath on all corners and it worked like a charm. The little tassels are cute too.
Love it.CharmaineLove it.

Handmade with love and care
TÅNUM rugs are made with leftover fabric from our bed linen production. Skilled craftspeople then transform these bits and pieces into unique rugs. And because we’ve approved the factories ourselves, we know that the working conditions are good. So there are a lot of winners when you buy a TÅNUM rug – you, us, the environment and the skilled weavers in Bangladesh.
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 organized 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 centrers 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, fertilizers and water.
