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.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this rug suitable for a home in a humid coastal climate?
While the turquoise color and braided texture are perfect for a coastal aesthetic, natural fiber rugs like jute and cotton are sensitive to high moisture levels. In very humid environments or rooms prone to dampness, like an enclosed sunroom, ensure the space is well-ventilated. Excessive moisture can cause natural fibers to soften or develop a musty scent, so keeping the rug in a dry, climate-controlled environment will best preserve its organic beauty and longevity.
What is the recommended method for cleaning spills on a hand-braided jute and cotton rug?
Because natural fibers like jute are highly absorbent, our care guidelines strictly recommend a water-free cleaning approach to prevent permanent discoloration or damage. You should blot any liquid stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. For more stubborn messes, use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda rather than water-based cleaners. To remove dry debris, we suggest taking the rug outdoors for a thorough shake.
Is a natural fiber rug durable enough for high-traffic areas?
This rug is hand-braided from a blend of cotton and jute, often called the "Golden Fiber" for its organic strength. While natural fibers are celebrated for their exceptional durability, this specific blend is crafted to be as soft as it is sturdy. This makes it a reliable foundation for busy areas like living rooms or entryways, providing a resilient surface that maintains its integrity under regular foot traffic.
How do I determine if this 9' x 12' rug is the right size for my living room?
A 9' x 12' rug is an "estate size," designed to ground large rooms or open-concept spaces. To ensure a balanced look, we recommend the "18-inch rule," where you leave roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls. In a living room of this scale, the rug is large enough to ensure the front legs of all your seating—or even the entire furniture grouping—rest comfortably on the rug, which helps anchor the room and prevents a "floating" furniture effect.
Can I use this coastal-style rug in a room with a king-sized bed?
Yes, a 9' x 12' rug is the ideal size for a master suite. Based on our design expertise, this size should be positioned under the lower two-thirds of a king bed, allowing the turquoise braided texture to peek out from the sides and foot of the bed. This creates a soft, organic landing for your feet while complementing the relaxed, breezy aesthetic of coastal or transitional bedroom decor.
How do I maintain the shape and appearance of a handmade braided rug over time?
To ensure your rug wears evenly, you should rotate it periodically, especially if one side receives more direct sunlight or foot traffic than the other. Because this is a handmade, artisanal piece, it should be treated with more care than a machine-made rug. Avoid using a vacuum with a high-power beater bar, as it can pull at the hand-braided fibers; instead, use a suction-only setting or a handheld attachment to keep the weave intact.
