Jute Rugs

Adding a bit of nature into your home isn’t as annoying as decking out your kitchen in that tiresome rooster motif. Instead, why not test out a jute rug on your floor? Naturally, jute is one of the most environmentally sound materials (pun intended). Jute fibers are harvested mostly in the jungle regions of China and India and are ideal for rugs, clothing, rope and other fabrics. They are also extremely resilient and durable, which means your rug can face the most destructive behavior without falling apart. Additionally, jute is surprisingly affordable compared to other rugs, which means you get more rug for your moola. With a consistently neutral palette and interweaving construction, jute rugs are an excellently subtle and eco-friendly way of decorating an interior in a refined yet casual manner. Plus, there are no barnyard animals involved.
