Natural Fibre Rugs Are Durable and Beautiful

Natural fibre rugs are rugs woven from material derived from plants. Jute is the most well-known of these materials, but sisal, seagrass and hemp are also commonly used to create natural fibre rugs. Each of these materials has unique characteristics and benefits, but they are all highly durable, making them perfect for high-traffic areas. Natural fibres like jute and hemp are also fast-growing, renewable resources, making rugs made from these materials a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. While natural fibre rugs will work well in many areas of the home, they should not be used outside, so you'll want to look to other materials for doormats and outdoor rugs.

The Details

Natural fibre rugs are readily available in muted, neutral tones that complement their organic feel, but you can also find bolder solid-coloured rugs as well as patterned rugs made from natural fibres. Many of the natural rug options in the Pottery Barn Canada collection are made of 100% natural, plant-based fibres, but you'll also find some that are woven of a combination of natural fibres and wool or chenille, which provides a slightly different look and feel. Here are just a few of the natural fibre rugs available at Pottery Barn Canada:

• Border Round Jute Rug - Made of 100% jute, this beautiful and durable rug is braided and stitched by hand. Subtle variations in texture and colour add visual interest to this round rug, which is available in two sizes.
• Nayomi Hand Loomed Natural Fibre Rug - Made of a blend of jute and cotton, this handwoven rug is a perfect cozy layer for your space. The Nayomi's simple diamond and stripe design works well with a variety of aesthetics.
• Danton Striped Jute Rug - Available in two colours and six sizes, this handwoven rug features bold, sophisticated stripes on a light background. Casual yet polished, this natural rug is beautiful on its own but can easily be layered.
• Chunky Looped Sweater Wool/Jute Rug - By blending wool with jute, the artisans who hand weave these rugs are able to create a rug with the soft, chunky texture of your favorite cozy sweater. The neutral tones and inviting texture of this looped rug will add warmth to any room in your home.
• Haven Braided Round Jute Rug - Available as a 6' or 8' round, this 100% jute rug is wound and stitched by hand into a classic spiral. Thanks to its lower loft and understated design, the ebony or indigo Haven is perfect for layering atop another rug.
