Jute Rugs

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Creating an environmentally friendly space is all the rage these days, and jute rugs are one of the many wonderful choices in natural fibers.  Jute rugs have a brightness and a silky sheen that illuminate and invigorate any area.  The soft feel of the jute rug makes it ideal for bedrooms and sitting rooms.  Because of the organic texture and unique appearance of a natural jute rug, it makes a superb addition to any room.

Jute is not recommended for areas with high moisture levels such as bathrooms or washrooms, however.   It is also best not to steam clean or wet-shampoo a jute rug.  While jute rugs are surprisingly long-wearing, quality floor coverings, they are not suggested for high-traffic areas.  Areas of low to moderate foot traffic are suitable for a jute rug.
Among the oldest known types of flooring, jute rugs are often used as backing to carpets.  Jute grows readily in Bangladesh and India.  It is a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and renewable resource, which makes it perfect for ecological design.  In fact, jute rugs are the perfect starting point for creating an organic setting in the home.  With a jute rug, a natural décor does not mean you have to sacrifice luxury.

Versatility is one of the great features of jute rugs.  They can inspire an earthy ambiance that makes a jute rug the perfect accessory in both Asian-themed rooms and casual modern spaces.

Whether you want to affordably brighten a child’s room with a striped jute rug in a lively color or produce a natural décor anywhere in your home, a jute rug is the ideal choice.

Decorating a Country Cottage

Monday, May 10th, 2010

If you have a cottage in the woods or in the country and you want to decorate it with a country theme, jute rugs may be the perfect choice for you. Jute rugs are soft, all-natural and brownish in color. Using different sizes and types of jute rugs can add an elegant country feel to your getaway home or cottage.

For a living room, use a few different jute rug area rugs to separate the room. Covering a lot of floor with jute rugs can add a sense of cozy and homey feel to your cottage. You can separate the living into two sections buy using one large jute area rug for larger furniture and then create a separate sitting area with a few smaller jute area rugs. Position the smaller furniture in such a way that it blocks it from the other furniture, yet still is inviting for people to sit in.

In the bedroom of the cottage, use a darker colored jute rug to place under the bed. Use one large rug that will be the centerpiece of the room, highlighting the positioning of the bed. Using a large area jute rug will also provide comfort for your feet when you roll out of bed during your vacation. Especially if you’re using your cabin during the winter months, a jute rug can add warmth and comfort in the bedroom.

Jute rugs may also be used in your cabin’s bathroom, kitchen and dinning room to add a touch of class that matches the country feel. Jute rugs are versatile and may be used for various styles and purposes. Create the environment you’ve been looking for in your country cottage with jute rugs.
