Darrel Light Pink 8' X 10' Rug
SKU: 86631910
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 soft enough for bare feet in a living room?
Yes. While pure jute can sometimes be coarse, this rug is hand-braided in India using a blend of natural jute and cotton fibers. Often referred to as the "Golden Fiber," the jute provides a durable, organic foundation, while the integrated cotton fibers add a layer of softness that makes it a comfortable choice for primary living areas or bedrooms.
Should I expect a hand-braided rug to shed?
Minor shedding is a hallmark of handmade rugs crafted from natural fibers and is a result of the artisanal braiding process. This typically subsides over time. To manage shedding, we recommend regular vacuuming and occasionally taking the rug outdoors for a gentle shake to remove trapped dry debris.
Can this rug handle high-traffic areas like an entryway or family room?
This rug is built for durability. The hand-braided construction creates a dense, resilient surface capable of withstanding the daily rigors of high-traffic zones. To maintain the rug’s appearance and ensure even wear across the fibers, we suggest rotating the rug periodically.
How do I clean spills on a natural fiber rug like this one?
Because natural fibers like jute are highly absorbent, our care experts recommend avoiding water, which can lead to warping or permanent discoloration. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. For more persistent stains, use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda to lift the debris without saturating the fibers.
Is a jute rug a good choice for a home in a coastal or humid climate?
This rug's hand-braided texture and light pink tone are perfect for achieving a breezy, coastal aesthetic. However, because natural jute is sensitive to moisture, it is best used in well-ventilated indoor spaces. In particularly humid environments, ensuring the room remains dry will prevent the natural fibers from absorbing moisture, which can otherwise lead to musty odors or mold.
How should I position an 8x10 rug in a standard living room layout?
An 8' x 10' rug is an ideal size for grounding a living room. For a professional, "anchored" look, place the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This configuration defines the seating area and prevents the furniture from appearing as if it is "floating" in the room.
