8 Ways to Add a Calm, Causal Feel to Any Space With Jute Rugs

A jute rug can add an earthy, comfortable touch to just about any space, indoor or out. The unique, woven texture of a soft jute rug feels light on your feet during summer and adds warmth during colder months. But jute, like other natural-fiber rugs, sheds and frays over time and requires a significant amount of work to maintain.

If you love the calming look of jute but don’t have the time or energy to keep it clean, that’s where our Re-Jute™  rugs come in. Machine-washable, smooth to the touch, and shed-resistant, our jute-like rugs will elevate your décor in any living space, from your bedroom to patio. Read on to learn more.

1. In the Entry

First impressions speak volumes, not just for people but also for homes. Elevate your entryway with a jute rug. The woven texture and golden color can keep up with heavy foot traffic while adding a hint of warmth and sophistication. The linear shape and floral design featured on this jute runner will welcome guests while subtly directing them into the heart of your home.   

2. In the Dining Room

Jute is naturally beautiful on its own, but is stunning when teamed with a bold pattern like diamonds. This one pairs beautifully with the retro-inspired table and chairs and minimalist space, giving this dining room a statement-making focal point. 

3. In the Kitchen

If you have a galley-style kitchen, a jute runner rug is the perfect fit, adding style to the space while visually elongating it. Plus, our Re-Jute™  rugs are water-resistant and can withstand messes. So next time you are baking and accidentally drop some flour, don’t worry about it getting stuck between your rug’s woven fibers. Simply throw it into the washing machine and move on with your day! 

4. In the Reading Nook

A jute rug with a simple geometric border can add a tasteful accent to the small space without overwhelming it. The natural toned version seen here ups the cozy factor while adding a hint of style to this charming little boho corner.  

5. In the Living Room

When it comes to decorating with earthy, natural hues, a jute area rug can be a great foundation piece for your home. Take this bold checkered style, for example. The color palette ties the living room’s decor together, while the eye-catching pattern adds visual interest.

6. In the Bedroom

The bedroom is the perfect space to add a serene vibe courtesy of a large jute rug. Opt for one with a southwestern-inspired pattern to complement a boho or desert aesthetic. Pair it with neutral, textured linens and throw pillows plus lots of greenery to complete the look. 

7. In the Sunroom

If you live in a region where sunrooms are common, you’ll want to decorate it with furniture and accent pieces designed to withstand the elements. Our anti-fade Re-Jute™  rugs can tolerate exposure to sunlight without losing their vivid hues and soft texture. For a simple yet stylish accent, try a jute rug in a solid, natural tone like the one seen here. It adds comfort to the space and works well with the patterned tile floor. Complete the look with neutral-colored furniture and pillows for a California-cool aesthetic. 

8. Outdoors / On the Patio

Our Re-Jute™  rugs look just as great outdoors as they do indoors. And they’re durable enough to handle it. Opt for a colored jute rug, like the cool blue one seen on this charming porch, to add both texture and style. When paired with white and blue pillows and natural wood tones, it gives off a lovely coastal vibe, no matter how close the ocean is.
