Thinking about a natural woven rug? Where do you start? Adding a jute rug is one of our favorite coastal decorating essentials!
Choosing to buy a jute rug to complement your seaside inspired home can be a delightful decision for several reasons - here are nine reasons to consider:
1. Natural Beauty
Jute rugs bring a hint of the outdoors into your home with their natural, earthy tones and organic woven textures. They complement a variety of decor styles, from bohemian to coastal to contemporary, adding warmth and a sense of calm to any space.
2. Eco-Friendly
Jute is a sustainable and biodegradable material, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious consumers. It grows quickly without the need for pesticides or fertilizers, reducing its ecological footprint. We especially love jute rugs that are hand woven with PET (recycled plastics) yarn - keeping "garbage" out of our landfills and creating something really beautiful!
3. Durability
Jute fibers are strong and durable, making these rugs a practical option for high-traffic areas. They can withstand the daily wear and tear of busy households, ensuring your investment lasts for years. Perfect for runners in your entry way (with a rug pad underneath to keep them secure!)
4. Comfort
Underfoot, jute rugs, compared to seagrass or sisal fibers, provide a soft, cushioned feel. They are often praised for their comfort, making them perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where you spend a lot of time.
5. Affordability
Compared to other natural fiber rugs like sisal or seagrass, jute rugs are often more affordable. This makes them an attractive option for those looking to enhance their home’s aesthetic without breaking the bank.
6. Versatility
Jute rugs come in a wide range of designs, from simple, solid weaves to intricate patterns. You can even find some very cool designs with borders and nautical stripes! This versatility allows you to find a jute rug that perfectly matches your personal style and home decor.
7. Low Maintenance
Jute rugs are relatively low maintenance. Regular vacuuming (not Dyson vacuums) is usually sufficient to keep them looking clean and fresh. Their natural coloring also helps hide dirt and stains, making them ideal for busy households. (and dog hair!)
8. Hypoallergenic
For those with allergies, jute rugs can be a great choice. They don't trap dust and allergens as easily as synthetic rugs, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
The understated elegance of jute rugs ensures they never go out of style. Their timeless appeal means you won’t need to replace them frequently to keep up with changing trends. Another option to consider is using your jute rug as a layer underneath, while changing out a top layered rug with the seasons or a room color change!
In essence, a jute rug transcends a mere floor covering; it infuses your home with a touch of nature, stands as a testament to sustainable living, and elegantly enhances both the beauty and comfort of your decorated space.
We love woven jute rugs for a sophisticated, yet chic classic coastal home look and think you will love them too!
