Living up to its nickname as the as the Golden Fiber, jute is a staple in organic home decor. Hand-braided in India from natural jute and cotton fibers, our Braided Jute Collection features a variety of patterns and neutral colors that make these rugs the perfect base for any room's design. As soft as they are durable, these rugs are the perfect organic accent to any room's design. Handmade rugs should be treated more carefully than machine-made rugs due to the artisanal nature in which they are created. Remove any stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth or sponge. Avoid using water as that might damage and discolor the natural fibers, instead, for tougher stains use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. For dry debris take the rug outdoors and give it a good shake. Rotate for even wear.

What is the best way to position a 9' x 12' rug in a large room?
A rug of this scale is designed to define and ground a large space. For a cohesive living room layout, our design guidelines suggest selecting a rug large enough so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug. In a dining room, a 9' x 12' rug is typically ideal for a large table, ensuring that chairs remain on the rug even when they are pulled out for seating.
How should I clean this rug if it gets stained?
Because natural fibers like jute are highly absorbent, you should avoid using water, as moisture can lead to discoloration or fiber damage. Our expert care recommendations suggest blotting any spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. For everyday debris, simply take the rug outdoors for a thorough shake to maintain its artisanal braided texture.
Is a hand-braided rug durable enough for high-traffic areas like a living room?
While the natural jute fibers are exceptionally resilient, handmade rugs are artisanal in nature and should be treated with more care than machine-made alternatives. To ensure longevity in busier areas, we recommend rotating the rug periodically to promote even wear. Its substantial 9' x 12'2 footprint makes it an excellent choice for anchoring large furniture groupings while providing a durable, organic base.
Why is jute a preferred material for organic home decor?
Jute is often referred to as the "Golden Fiber" because of its natural luster, strength, and eco-friendly properties. In this rug, jute provides a durable, organic foundation that is hand-braided with cotton to balance the fiber's natural toughness with a softer underfoot feel. This combination makes it a versatile choice for those seeking a sustainable and textured accent.
Can a jute and cotton rug be used in humid or coastal environments?
This rug's coastal style and breathable natural fibers make it a perfect fit for breezy, seaside-inspired interiors. However, because jute and cotton are organic materials, they are sensitive to moisture. In humid climates, it is best to keep the rug in a well-ventilated, dry indoor space to prevent the fibers from absorbing excess ambient moisture, which helps maintain the rug’s structural integrity and color.
How does the texture of a jute-cotton blend compare to a standard synthetic rug?
Unlike synthetic rugs, this hand-braided blend offers a rich, multi-dimensional texture that only natural fibers can provide. The inclusion of cotton ensures the rug is soft enough for living areas and bedrooms, while the braided jute adds a rustic, organic feel. This artisanal construction creates a unique, non-uniform surface that adds character and warmth to the home.
