Can I use a natural rug in high-traffic areas?
Handwoven from strong natural fibres, natural rugs are resilient to wear and tear. They are a great option for high-traffic areas and busy households. Jute rugs are tightly-woven from coarse, robust fibres. Wool rugs are resilient with fibres that naturally bounce back.
Do natural floor rugs keep their shape?
Natural rugs have exceptional texture retention. Their high durability helps them keep their structure and shape. Wool fibres are spring shaped, making them harder to grind down. This means wool rugs maintain their pristine appearance far longer than synthetic rugs.
What colour natural rugs work best in small spaces?
Make your room feel airy and spacious with a light-coloured rug. Neutral tones like warm creams and soft greys will bounce light around the room, stopping it from feeling cramped or compact. All have an organic feel and subtle radiance.
Are natural rugs safe for children and pets?
Absolutely! Natural fibres, like wool and jute, are safe for children and pets. They're non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Wool rugs naturally repel dirt and liquids, so you won't have to worry as much about stains or mould. Jute rugs are robust. They can handle the pitter-patter of tiny feet and the playful scamper of paws.
How do I deal with my rug shedding?
You can conquer rug shedding by:
- Vacuuming weekly.
- Gently brushing before vacuuming to loosen fibres.
- Airing out your rug regularly.
Be patient — shedding usually decreases over time. For persistent shedding, consider professional cleaning.
Jute Rugs
Made from the jute plant, which produces golden and silky fibres, natural jute rugs are known for their earthy feel. They add rich texture to a space and are versatile enough to blend with a variety of interior styles. Jute rugs are among the most eco-friendly rug options as they are hand-woven from natural plant fibres. Their relatively low cost makes them a great budget-friendly option for those not wanting to break the bank on a natural fibre rug. But, the material does not like getting damp, so a jute rug might not be the best choice for a bathroom!
Wool Rugs

Alongside a remarkable ability to absorb moisture and excellent insulation properties, they are finished to perfection with much love and care.
