I love a good natural fiber rug. There is something so welcoming about a seagrass, jute or sisal rug that gives a home the look of casual elegance. I am also a believer that a natural fiber rug can go in any house. There are so many weaves, patterns, colors, and textures, that these types of rugs are incredibly versatile. To give you some ideas of how you could use a natural fiber rug in your home, I’ve listed out some different applications.

One of my favorite ways to use a natural fiber rug is layered underneath a vintage rug. In this application, you would want to use a low pile rug with a simple weave. This is a great solution for someone who has a rug that they love, but it is too small for their space. Placing it on top of a sisal or seagrass rug will help with the scale in your room and ground your space.

In a Bedroom or Living Space I love a thicker woven jute rug. You can get pure jute, or a natural fiber blended with wool or cotton, softening its appearance and touch. Something braided or chunky feels cozy and warm, inviting you into a relaxing space.

In a Dining Room I think that a patterned natural fiber rug adds a lot of interest, without being overpowering. A diamond, mermaid, or basketweave pattern can be sophisticated but also inviting, exactly as a Dining Room should feel!

I also love natural fiber rugs with a little color. Whether it be blue threads running through, varying tones of neutrals, or a crisp colored edging, color is a great way to tie in existing textiles used throughout the space. To give you a little more inspiration, I’ve gathered some of my favorite natural fiber rugs on the market. With such affordable options, a natural fiber rug can be a quick and easy way to add another layer of depth to your room.
