Meet Durable, Neutral Texture | Natural Fiber Rug Round-Up

Our go-to solution for high traffic areas? Natural fiber rugs. Their durability and style make them perfect to throw in an entryway or family room. Check out how we and some of our favorite designers use natural fiber rugs in all kinds of spaces! (And check out our new natural fiber rugs while you’re at it!)

Simple Styles

While jute rugs are our rug of choice for layering, they are a great option to ground a space on their own, too! They bring warm, natural texture to the room + a neutral palette that lends itself to be paired with countless color stories.

Heidi Callier Design used a richly textured natural fiber rug to anchor this room. This living room features so many different patterns and textures, making the neutral colored rug the perfect thing to pull them all together while delivering a warm base for the room. You can see more gorgeous details of this home in our blog post here!

Layered Looks

For truly breathtaking layering, pick a natural fiber rug as base. They add depth and texture to your space, giving you the freedom to put any type of pattern on top! You can layer it with a bright green pattern like we did in our Modern Tudor Project, or you can layer it like Bria Hammel with a neutral, cream-toned rug in her Shady Beach House. It also pairs well with traditional rugs, like the one Haus Love chose in their living room design.

Bring in Texture + Pattern

Just because a rug is made with natural fibers doesn’t mean it has to stick to the predictable jute color story. While we do love that natural hue, there are plenty of patterned natural fiber rugs plus some that feature interesting raised textures. Rebecca Cartwright & Alicia Held Morris used a low-pile striped rug in the bedroom of their Naturally House project to create visual interest.

Whitney & Co. also used a patterned textured rug, but this time in the kitchen of their Cape Cod Reno project. This rug adds the perfect pop of color to the bright, white kitchen. The gold in the rug pulls out the brass hardware and pairs well with their lighter toned wood floors.
