What makes jute rugs durable and environmentally friendly?
The rustic look, durability, and eco-friendly appeal of jute.
Second only to wool as the most-used natural fiber for rug making, jute is derived from the jute plant—making it a sustainable material—and has a rustic, organic appearance. Today, it’s often blended or paired with other fibers, diversifying its appearance and use in rug making.
Jute is durable, versatile, and has eco-friendly properties. It can be spun into coarse, strong threads or refined into finer threads for more delicate applications. It is biodegradable, delivering a low environmental impact and stands up to years of use.
These rugs add texture and warmth underfoot, complementing a variety of styles with their earthy appearance. You can shop all jute and jute blend rugs here and learn more about rug materials and weave in our rug guide here.
