Jute Area Rugs

Many modern households love natural things, and jute area rugs fit right in. From organic foods to earth toned furniture, we've got a craving for Mother Nature's imminent sense of style. For the discerning naturalist (or the hip granola-crunching interior designer), jute area rugs are the ideal way to express "earthiness." They’re affordable, attractive, and equally at home in manor, apartment, or dorm.

Jute rugs are classic in design. They're woven as they have been for years. Interweaving creates a neutral, refined look that goes anywhere, providing a sturdy surface with handsome features. Whether you're trying to add a centerpiece to the master bedroom, or sprucing up a picky teen's room, jute is the way to go. Inexpensive and attractive!

Besides being a reliable design element, jute is popular because it's real. Forget synthetics. Jute area rugs allow you to get natural floor coverings in basic tones for a surprisingly affordable price. For people with allergies to man-made materials, jute can also be a lifesaver! Imagine the possibilities, from gift giving to housewarming. Who can resist something that's made with greenery of the earth?

Jute fibers are an all-natural product, taken from the jute plant (a wet-climate green). The fibrous leaves and branches are long and spindly, making them ideal for use in rugs, rope, clothing, fabric, and yarn. Jute is largely plucked from the steamy jungle regions of India, China, and Bangladesh, where the plants thrive. Harvesters gather and prepare the material. Soon, a wide variety of jute products are born!

You may already know jute by its more popular incarnation... burlap! Burlap cloth is made with rough woven jute and has been prized for ages for its near indestructibility. Burlap has always been perfect for all kinds of projects, so it should come as no surprise that jute also makes the ultimate area rug! A little more refinement, a touch of the artistic, and expert processing turns that tough burlap bag into a stylish, sturdy floor rug! You'll wonder why more people don't include jute area rugs in their home decorating.

Contemporary jute area rugs are well-crafted and can be rough, medium, or smooth in texture. Most are made in India and China. They're available in several styles and craft types. As with wool, cotton, silk, and olefin rugs, jute area rugs can be found as hand-knotted or hand-woven creations, ready to take center stage in any room.

Flat woven, handcrafted jute rugs are all the rage, sporting subdued stripe patterns and interwoven strength that's unlike anything you've seen before. Best of all, you can grab a handmade jute rug for a fraction of the cost of other types of handcrafted rugs!

Machine-spun jute area rugs are also available, and their price is even lower than the handcrafted jute rugs. You can decorate any home with an earthy look for a great price. Friends and family are sure to be impressed. And, since jute area rugs only look expensive, your decorating budget will stretch even further!

If you’ve ever considered trying a natural material rug in your home, jute is certainly worthy of your consideration. With a friendly price tag and simple good looks, you really can't go wrong. Let jute bring out your eco-self!
