Jute Round Rugs: Chic Sustainability Made Easy
A rug plays an important role in the overall style and function of a room. Two of the top factors that determine how a rug looks, feels and functions are its shape and material. At Pottery Barn, we carry a selection of jute round rugs that have all been stitched and braided by hand. Available in 6' and 8' diameters, these beautiful rugs are highly versatile and suitable to many different styles, from modern to traditional. Warm, earthy colors and a rich texture make them an excellent choice for any area of your home.
What is Jute?
Grown in the world's tropical regions, jute is a natural fiber that comes from the jute plant. It is sometimes called the "golden fiber" for its golden hue and subtle shine. Because of its strength and durability, jute has a long history of use in a wide range of different textiles. Today, one of the most popular uses of this prized fiber is for natural fiber area rugs.
Benefits of Jute
Among the main reasons for the historical and enduring popularity of jute is its sustainability. Jute is highly renewable and completely biodegradable, making it a go-to option if you are trying to reduce your environmental footprint. As mentioned above, jute is also a naturally durable fiber that stands up well to everyday wear and tear. It doesn't require much maintenance either, and a simple regular vacuuming will easily keep it looking great for a long time to come. Last but certainly not least, jute has a very desirable natural beauty that can help elevate any home design.
Where to Use a Round Jute Rug
With a bit of creativity, you can easily work a jute round rug into just about any room. The neutral tones in the rug will work in most color palettes, and the round shape can help add some visual depth to the space as well. Jute is often used in busy areas because of how well it can stand up to foot traffic. Consider placing it in your foyer and pairing it with a matching console table for an effortlessly put-together look. If you will be positioning heavy furniture on top of your new rug, you can help protect the pile by using rug protectors.
Easy to style and even easier to maintain, jute round rugs from Pottery Barn will make a great addition to your home. Find a rug that suits your needs and enjoy all of the benefits that this sustainable natural fiber provides.
