Jute Rugs

Jute is a natural fibre that's often used for making rugs and other textiles. The jute plant produces long, soft fibres that are spun into durable threads, similar to how cotton is turned into thread. Jute is a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to other fibres as it doesn't need much water or pesticides to grow. Its toughness makes it the perfect material for rugs that experience heavy foot traffic daily.
Jute rugs are unique in that they have a natural tan colour from being dried under the sun. Plus, they mix well with other materials to create some really unique woven designs. They’re a hard natural fibre that makes them great for high-traffic areas, easy to clean, and stain resistant. It’s also a heavier fibre, much less likely to curl at the edges.
Jute rugs can be used in high-traffic areas, as the jute fibres are naturally durable, eco-friendly, and resilient. However, they may not be as long-lasting as rugs made from synthetic fibres or wool, as the jute fibre can degrade when exposed to natural sunlight. For the best results, consider placing a jute rug in areas with moderate foot traffic and preferably not exposed to intense natural light.
You can use jute rugs outdoors, but be careful not to let them get soaked. If they get too wet, they can get mouldy, and the moisture can cause the natural oils in the jute to come out, staining the rug and making it turn a darker brown. If you keep them out of direct sunlight and rain, though, they should be just fine.
Yes, a rug pad or underway is useful to stop sliding and helps keep the jute rug ends from curling up. It also helps keep the rug in place and prevents accidents or falls. Plus, a non-slip rug underlay can help cushion the rug and extend its lifespan by preventing wear and tear on the rug's underside. Lastly, a rug underlay also helps protect your floors by creating a rubber barrier between the rug's fibres and your floorboards.
What's wonderful about jute rugs is that they're super versatile and can go with pretty much any furniture style you've got. Modern, boho, traditional – you name it, a jute rug will add some warmth and texture to your space. Got a minimalist or modern vibe? Pair a jute rug with neutral-coloured furniture, like white or grey, for a sleek and simple look. If you're more into the boho or eclectic style, a jute rug will look fantastic with colourful and patterned furniture, making your space feel super cosy and inviting. And let's not forget about wooden furniture – coffee tables, chairs, bookshelves, you get the idea. Jute rugs and wood combine like peanut butter and jelly, creating a perfectly harmonious and welcoming atmosphere. Ultimately, jute rugs are a solid choice for any furniture style, making your space look amazing and inviting.

You probably heard the buzz. From “meh” to “wow’ in a heartbeat. A beauty in low maintenance. ’Jute rugs’

Eco-conscious. Style-forward. And budget-aware. 

Jute is a natural fibre. It comes from a plant with long, soft fibres that can be spun into durable threads. Kind of like how cotton turns into thread. These are used for making rugs and textiles.

This is also the same fibre used in making burlap and twine – items revered for their toughness. If it's strong enough to wrap up your veggies and tie your packages, you bet it can handle foot traffic!

It’s super eco-friendly, too.  Needing just a small amount of water and barely any pesticides to grow. This makes it a fantastic, sustainable option compared to other fibres. A guilt-free choice for you as an environmentally-conscious decorator. Own it without any guilt pinging on your eco-conscious heart.  That's right. Passion and fashion without our beloved planet paying the price. Now that’s a decor with conscience.

Jute Rugs are built to withstand the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it's kids, pets, furniture moving, unexpected spills, or a swarm of visitors.  Massive foot traffic. These rugs can take all that stomp - no stress.

Imagine those bustling corridors and entryways that mimic a bustling town square. Many rugs might wave the white flag in defeat, but not these jutes.  Their densely woven fibres are admirable shape-keepers, hardly batting an eye at the flood of footsteps they handle every day.

Low maintenance. Jute rugs are sturdier than they look, easily shrugging off dirt and stains. Got a spill? Jute stays firm under pressure. A swift pass with the vacuum and it's like your mess never happened. And for those "oops" moments, a dab with a damp microfibre towel does the trick. It's cleaned up in easy mode!

The unique, gritty texture of jute provides a sure grip underfoot, holding its ground firm against any slips and slides.

While these rugs love staying sheltered indoors away from the harsh rays of the sun - you can put them to work in covered outdoor areas, such as a patio or veranda.

They are tough rugs but do prefer to avoid full-blown weather showdowns. They favour sheltered outdoor porches or patios rather than an open deck where they're up against all of Mother Nature's hits. Jute rugs don't mind stealing the limelight outdoors, but they prefer a touch of TLC to make sure they stick around longer.

So why give jute rugs a shot? Well.. they go simply aesthetic in just about any setting.

Be it minimalist modern or bohemian chic, these rugs become best buddies with any decor theme. One fantastic example is the luxurious Jute wool rugs. They are crafted from this perfect blend of natural jute and premium wool fibres.  And the texture? Oh, it's a whole other level of unique, appealing, and built to last. They have beautiful, intricate designs that scream versatility. They can jazz up any space you decide to roll them out in!

How about lovely natural colours and a fun, textured feel? Don't settle for the same old square look when an oval jute rug is in town. Whatever your palette or prints, black or white jute oval rugs play along, acting as a chic backdrop that amplifies everything around it. Cosy. Warm. Adding texture to a neutral style.

It's like giving your room a big hug with a shape that's out-of-the-box and on-trend. It softens your space and adds a welcoming environment.

And why let your hallways, kitchen, and entryways look bare and bland if you can tick some organic vibe and a toastie makeover with jute runner rugs. March them down to hallways… let them lounge in your kitchen… or roll them out to welcome guests. Any high-traffic spot will do.

They bring that much-needed organic, rustic charm to your floors. You'll love how flat these rugs are. Firm and nice to walk on.
