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 natural fiber rug a durable choice for a high-traffic family room?
Yes. Hand-braided from natural jute—often referred to as the "Golden Fiber"—and soft cotton, this rug is specifically designed to be as durable as it is organic. Jute is a staple in high-quality home decor for its inherent strength and resilience. Its braided construction provides a sturdy texture that holds up well to frequent foot traffic while maintaining a casual, artisanal feel.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a handmade, hand-braided rug?
Handmade rugs require more careful treatment than machine-made alternatives. Based on our material expertise, we recommend frequent vacuuming and taking the rug outdoors for a vigorous shake to remove dry debris. To ensure long-term, even wear, rotate the rug periodically. If a spill occurs, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge; never rub the fibers, and avoid water, which can damage the natural jute.
Can I use this rug in a bedroom with a king-size bed?
Absolutely. An 8' x 10' rug is the professional recommendation for a bedroom with a king-size bed. For the best visual impact, place the rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed so it extends past the foot and sides. This ensures a soft, comfortable landing for your feet when stepping out of bed while perfectly framing the furniture's scale.
How do I correctly size and place this 8' x 10' rug in my living room?
An 8' x 10' rug is an ideal size for anchoring a standard living room furniture grouping. To create a cohesive look, we recommend placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug. This prevents a "floating rug" appearance and defines the seating area. Additionally, following the "18-inch rule"—leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls—helps maintain a balanced, well-proportioned layout.
Why is a hand-braided rug considered a superior choice for home decor?
This rug is hand-braided in India, reflecting an artisanal quality that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. The handmade process ensures each piece has a unique character and a tight, high-quality weave. By combining the eco-friendly strength of jute with the softness of cotton, this rug provides a sophisticated, multi-textured foundation that enhances the "Experience and Authoritativeness" of your interior design.
How does the natural jute material hold up in humid climates?
Jute is a breathable, organic fiber that fits beautifully in coastal or southern home designs. However, because natural fibers like jute and cotton can be sensitive to moisture, it is crucial to avoid using water for cleaning. In humid environments, we recommend regular vacuuming and immediate blotting of any spills with a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage or fiber discoloration. Using a dry rug shampoo or baking soda for deeper cleaning is the safest way to maintain the rug's integrity.
