Everley Navy 5' x 8' Rug

Because jute fibers are highly absorbent, moisture is the primary concern for maintenance. Based on our expert care recommendations, you should blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to lift the liquid before it soaks in. Avoid using water, steam cleaners, or wet shampoos, as excessive moisture can cause staining, fiber shrinkage, or mildew.

Jute is widely recognized as the softest of the natural plant fibers, offering a much gentler texture than sisal or seagrass. This rug is hand-knotted from 100% jute, providing a chunky, organic feel that is comfortable for casual living spaces, though it still retains the characteristic "earthy" touch typical of natural materials.

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile mid-size option ideal for grounding specific zones. It is a popular choice for home offices, nurseries, or placed under a queen-sized bed so the texture is felt when stepping onto the floor. In a living room, this size works perfectly centered under a coffee table to anchor a seating arrangement in smaller apartments or cozy dens.

The solid navy shade provides a deep, sophisticated foundation that hides light debris better than ivory tones, making it practical for active households. The fringed ends add a touch of casual, artisanal character that complements bohemian, coastal, or transitional decor styles, providing visual interest without the busyness of a heavy pattern.

While the natural aesthetic of jute is perfect for coastal decor, the material is prone to absorbing ambient moisture from the air. In high-humidity environments, such as beachfront properties or southern coastal regions, we recommend placing this rug in well-ventilated rooms and avoiding damp areas like basements or laundry rooms to prevent the development of musty odors.

To maintain the integrity of the hand-knotted weave and the fringed edges, we recommend vacuuming frequently using a suction-only setting or a handheld attachment. Avoid using a beater bar or power brush, as these can agitate the fibers and cause excessive shedding or fraying. Initial shedding is a natural characteristic of jute and will typically decrease over time with regular, gentle vacuuming.
