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.

Natural carpets are a stylish and excellent choice in floor covering. Besides being made 100% of natural material, they are high quality, environmentally friendly, and economical.

Natural carpets are currently in high fashion, an excellent accent piece for any room. Some of the types of natural rugs are jute, bamboo, and seagrass; two of the most common natural rugs are Sisal and wool.

Sisal rugs are among the most popular organic rugs today, and why is that? There is an exotic element to these all-natural, handcrafted rugs. The texture of a Sisal rug is highly appealing. Extracts from the agave plant are the materials used to create the long, durable fibers in a hand-woven Sisal rug. The strength of a Sisal rug exceeds that of many other natural rugs fibers such as jute, hemp, and flax. An un-dyed look is common in a Sisal rug, but subtle colors are also used without altering the natural appeal of the rug.

Sisal rugs look great on any surface but especially on tile, wood, and stone flooring. They are ideal for high-traffic areas. These rugs absorb sound, are flame-retardant, naturally anti-static, and dirt-repellant. Nature provides a lovely variation in both color and fiber thickness that combine to ensure that each Sisal rug is unique.

Wool is a versatile material that can easily be died and manipulated into different textures. For instance, a wool rug can be thick and tightly woven, making it tough to damage and somewhat like an air purifier because it traps air pollutants. Wool rugs are incredibly durable and easy to clean, ideal for any high-traffic area in the home. Dense wool floor coverings can soften the sound of footprints, reducing the noise level in a room.

There are so many different types of beautiful, natural rugs offered on the Natural Area Rugs website. Find the perfect rug for your home today.
