Everley Beige 5' x 8' Rug

Because jute is a highly absorbent natural fiber, moisture is its primary enemy. To maintain this rug, we recommend vacuuming frequently to prevent dirt from settling into the hand-knotted weave. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry white cloth; never rub or steam clean jute, as excess water can lead to staining or fiber degradation.

Yes, jute is one of the most durable natural fibers available, making this rug an excellent choice for high-traffic zones like entryways, hallways, or busy living rooms. Its hand-knotted construction further enhances its resilience, allowing it to withstand the daily wear and tear of an active household while maintaining its structured, casual look.

While the earthy aesthetic of jute is perfect for coastal decor, the fibers are naturally porous and can absorb moisture from the air. In humid environments, it is important to place the rug in a well-ventilated room. Avoiding damp areas like bathrooms or basements will help prevent the rug from holding onto moisture, which ensures the fibers remain strong and free of musty odors.

Jute has a distinct, chunky texture that provides a firm and organic feel underfoot. While it is celebrated for its durability and eco-friendly appeal, it is coarser than a plush wool or synthetic rug. For bedrooms or playrooms where children spend time on the floor, many of our stylists recommend layering this rug under a smaller, softer accent rug to combine the beautiful natural base with added comfort.

This 5' x 8' rug is a versatile mid-size option. In a living room, it works best when placed under the coffee table with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the edges to anchor the space. If you are placing it in a bedroom with a queen bed, a 5' x 8' is ideal for the lower two-thirds of the bed; however, for a more expansive look that covers both sides of the bed, you may want to consider the 6' x 9' or 8' x 10' variations of the Everley collection.

It is normal for new natural fiber rugs to undergo some initial shedding, often referred to as "sprouting." This is a characteristic of the 100% jute material and is not a sign of a defect. Regular vacuuming—ideally with the beater bar turned off or set to a high-pile setting—will significantly reduce shedding over the first few weeks of use.
