This New Rug Trend Is Affordable, Stylish, and Easy to Incorporate into Any Decor Style
When designers and DIYers alike find a furnishing that’s sophisticated, complements a number of aesthetics, and is extremely durable, they become fans for life. From all of my reporting and scouting on home decor over the past few years, I can tell you with total confidence that that’s exactly how the design world at large feels about natural fiber rugs made of jute and sisal.
Designers love traditional solid-colored jute or sisal rug and use them all the time in their own homes and for client projects. But I’ve been noticing a rise in patterned jute and sisal pieces — starting with the Ballard Designs rug that Louisville-based designers Journey + Jacobs used in their Small/Cool 2021 “Moody Musings” trend room — and I have to say, these kinds of pieces have definitely captured my attention a few times since then. You get all the practical pros of jute and sisal rugs but with the added bonus of extra color and pattern for a little more visual interest. So the next time you’re shopping for a classic, natural fiber rug, consider something with a bit of flair. You can’t go wrong with any of the eight pieces below.
