What is jute?

Jute is a natural, renewable plant fibre from the Corchorus plant. All our jute rugs are hand-woven from natural fibres, offering earthy elegance and an organic feel. These natural rugs are not only visually appealing but also good for the environment.

How to look after a jute rug?

Jute rugs are easy to maintain, requiring just regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning. Avoid using excessive amounts of water as it can cause discolouration or mould. If you have a spill, blot the area with a dry cloth to draw out as much moisture as possible. By following proper maintenance and care, you can enjoy your jute rug for years to come!

Are jute rugs safe for children and pets?

Jute rugs are an excellent choice for households with kids or pets. Natural jute fibres are eco-friendly and free from any harmful toxins. They'll be comfortable under your little one's feet or hands, with the inherent comfort of the natural texture.

How do I avoid shedding or curling?

Jute rugs shed over time, but this can minimised by using a strong suction vacuum cleaner to get rid of any loose fibres and prevent shedding.

Fix curling by dampening the curled corner with a cloth and leaving it overnight.

Are jute rugs good for high-traffic areas?

Jute rugs are a practical choice for busy living areas. The natural texture provides the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and durability.

The jute material is robust and durable enough for the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

• A large jute rug is perfect for high-traffic areas like living and dining rooms.
• A jute runner is ideal for a busy hallway where people are constantly coming and going.
• A small jute mat can be placed by the front door to serve as a welcome.

Can jute rugs be placed outside?

Jute rugs make a perfect addition to covered outdoor areas such as porches, patios and decks. Centre your garden furniture around one of our natural jute rugs to create an organic, earthy atmosphere. However, jute rugs are sensitive to moisture and should be kept dry.

When too wet, they can become mouldy and the moisture causes natural oils in the jute to stain the rug a darker brown. If you're placing your jute rug outside, ensure you keep it out of direct sunlight and rain!

A jute rug is an incredibly versatile addition to your home.

With its natural beauty and comforting texture, it can be styled in a variety of ways to complement your home decor and living spaces.

Pick the perfect jute rug

First and foremost, find the ideal jute rug for your space! Jute carpets and rugs come in a range of styles, from classic natural hues to contemporary designs and vibrant colours. Think about the size of the room and the intended purpose of the rug. Will it be a focal point in an open-plan space, at the back door to catch dirt and debris or a calming addition to your tranquil bedroom? By choosing the right jute rug, you can achieve the style and aesthetic you want in your home.

Round jute rugs create a focal point

Round jute rugs are a popular choice for adding a touch of natural elegance to a room. Perhaps you want a defined seating area? Placing coffee tables, sofas and armchairs on top of a round jute rug can separate that space, creating a focal sophisticated point. Round rugs also soften a space, lessening the appearance of angles and edges and creating a more cohesive space overall.

Natural jute rugs are ideal for soothing interiors

Natural fibre jute rugs are a great choice for those looking add a touch of organic warmth to their home. The neutral colour palette of jute rugs creates a calming or inviting atmosphere, perfect for living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.

Play with textures

If you want a more lively and dynamic space, you can layer a large jute rug with other materials, vibrant colours or patterns. Inject personality into your home by introducing different textiles and tones.

Complement your home decor

Do you have rectangular furniture? Arched features? Or an eclectic ensemble of shapes and sizes?

Make sure your jute carpet or rug complements your existing decor. Mirroring your furniture with your rug is a good place to start. A square table on a round jute rug may be jarring, so enhance the symmetry of your space with rugs to match your pieces.

Perfect the vibe

A jute rug can be the finishing touch to any room. Pull together your neutral living space with a natural jute rug. Perfect your coastal haven or bohemian retreat with a rattan rug. Or add a contrasting tone to your eclectic home with vibrant patterns or bold colours.
