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.
How do I clean a natural fiber rug without causing permanent damage?
Because natural fibers like jute can be sensitive to moisture, our care guide emphasizes a "dry-first" approach. You should blot any liquid stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. Avoid using water, as it can discolor or damage the organic jute fibers. For tougher spots, we recommend using a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. To remove dry debris, simply take the rug outdoors for a thorough shake.
Do I need to use a rug pad with a hand-braided rug on hardwood or tile floors?
We highly recommend pairing a hand-braided rug with a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides essential grip to prevent the rug from sliding on smooth surfaces, which is a key safety consideration for high-traffic entryways or hallways. Additionally, a rug pad acts as a protective buffer, preventing the natural fibers from rubbing against your flooring and extending the overall lifespan of the rug.
Are hand-braided rugs made of jute and cotton durable enough for high-traffic areas?
Yes, this rug is specifically designed to balance durability with an organic aesthetic. It is hand-braided in India using a blend of cotton and jute—often referred to as the "Golden Fiber" for its natural strength and resilience. This artisanal construction makes the rug a sturdy choice for daily use, while the integrated cotton fibers ensure the surface remains soft underfoot.
Is a light pink rug a practical choice for a nursery or a child's playroom?
This rug is an excellent option for a nursery or playroom due to its handmade, soft-texture blend of natural fibers. The light pink tone provides a calming, stylish base for a child’s room. Because it is hand-braided rather than machine-made, it offers a unique, artisanal feel that is gentle for floor play. For even wear in active spaces, we recommend rotating the rug periodically.
What is the best way to determine if a 5x8 area rug will fit my living room or bedroom layout?
A 5'1" x 8' rug is a versatile size for defining specific zones. In a smaller living room, it is ideal for grounding a coffee table and the front legs of your seating. For a bedroom, our design expertise suggests placing a rug of this scale under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to create a soft, balanced landing area. To ensure a professional look, we recommend following the "18-inch rule," leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and your walls.
Are natural jute rugs soft enough for barefoot comfort?
While pure jute can sometimes feel coarse, this specific collection is hand-braided with a combination of jute and cotton fibers to ensure it is as soft as it is durable. This blend provides the organic, casual look of a natural fiber rug with an improved tactile feel, making it comfortable for walking barefoot in residential living spaces.
