Jute Rugs

In this day and age, it’s nice to know that there are people who choose to go green. An environment-friendly home design is not hard to achieve with the variety of materials to choose from. But if you’re worried as to whether going green will mean you will be limited to earth colors and nature tones, then it’s time you take a look at home decors from natural fibres such as jute rugs.

Jute, called as the golden fibre, is a type of vegetable fibre that has the characteristic of being long, soft, and shiny. Once spun, you get coarse and strong threads. Jute is basically a leafy reed-like plant. This plant grows up to three meters in height, usually from four to six months. It is one of the cheapest natural fibres and is widely cultivated and used in India. Jute fibres were first used to make sackcloth and hessian or also known as a burlap. Later on, jute fibres have been used to create handicraft items, home accents, home decor, home furnishing, fabric, curtains, carpets, rugs, bags, rope, twine, as well as paper.

Jute, as a home décor, creates an accent to any room. Jute rugs, in particular, are not only an environment-friendly home design but are also stylish and durable. You can have varying colors as well as thickness which means that you are surely not limited to browns, greens or whites.

When selecting a jute rug, you need to choose a shape as well as a weave. The border, used for binding, can be optional. Several materials are used for the weave such as mountain grass, seagrass, sisal, and wool.

A round jute rug is an excellent accent to your home décor and home design. But where you should put them must be considered. Since jute rugs are made from natural fibres, they are not advised to be placed in areas which are high in moisture or where they can get wet. This means they are not suitable outdoors since they might be exposed to harsh weather conditions. 

Jute rugs are ideal to be placed in areas of your home that have low or medium traffic. When cleaning jute rugs, it is best not to use chemical substances since this can cause the color to fade. But nevertheless, jute rugs are an ideal choice for an environment-friendly home design.

Going green and natural in your home design is not hard to come by. All you need are the right home accents and knowing how they should be cared for. So if you want to give back to the earth, go green and natural. And start with home decors made from natural fibres such as jute rugs. They’re environment-friendly, durable, and stylish.
