Soft Jute Rugs: A Cozy Addition To Your Timeless Home Décor
It has been awhile, friends! As our home and life settles into a pace where
there's less renovating and decorating going on, I've been inclined to post
less. But, I do want to share with you when there's a project worthy of
sharing. Sound good?
We made some changes to our dining room recently. From the soft jute rug to the vintage mirror to the new trim paint (serendipitously called Jute AF-80 by Benjamin Moore), these updates have infused our dining room with the charm and warmth it was missing. Let's talk a bit more about that jute rug as I feel natural fibre rugs are something you can use in almost any space.

Soft Jute Rugs
Are you a fan of classic home décor that combines timeless elegance with
modern comfort? Then you'll love soft jute rugs which I think are a
must-have for any stylish home.
Let's start with the basics. Jute rugs are woven from natural fibres
derived from the jute plant, making them eco-friendly and sustainable.
They're known to be highly durabile and bring a warm, inviting appearance
that adds a touch of organic charm to any room.
Softness + jute seem like an unlikely mix, but let me tell you, there are
many pretty and soft jute rugs out there! Now, why is softness such a
crucial factor when choosing a rug? When you value both style and comfort,
the importance of a soft rug cannot be overstated. Softness not only
enhances the tactile experience but also adds to a cozy atmosphere that
makes your home feel like a haven.
Why Choose A Jute Rug
Years ago, when it came to selecting the perfect rug for our dining
room, I selected a wool rug in a basic tone-on-tone blue pattern. I
loved the plushness of the rug. It was perfect for lingering family
meals around the dining table during the holidays. It added an elegance
and coziness.
But, it was boring. Predictable. Safe.
This room, with its cheery botanical wallpaper, demanded a rug that was
light but textural. Stylish and happy. A soft jute rug would bring the
mix of beauty and playfulness I was seeking.
There are many compelling reasons why you should choose natural jute rugs
but here's what put them at the top of my list:
- They offer texture and warmth, making them perfect for cozying up in any room
- They are also crafted from eco-friendly and sustainable materials and make for a guilt-free option that doesn't compromise on style or quality
- Their versatility allows them to seamlessly blend into various décor styles
- Finally, their durability and longevity ensure that your investment lasts, maintaining beauty and functionality over time.
I have a jute chenille rug that we've
used in various spaces in our home
and it still looks timeless and new. Natural rugs will last you for years
to come.

Factors Influencing Softness in Jute Rugs
The softness of jute rugs is influenced by several key factors. Firstly,
the quality of jute fibres plays a significant role, with higher-quality
fibres yielding softer rugs that feel luxurious to the touch.
Secondly, different weaving techniques can impact softness, with certain
methods creating tighter weaves that enhance the rug's softness and
durability.
Additionally, mixing jute with other materials can add softness. Our
rug, the Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Judy rug in Natural/Ivory
features a blend of jute and cotton. This mix softens the rug and makes
it feel plusher and more comfortable underfoot.
Lastly, the use of backing materials can affect softness, with quality
backing providing additional cushioning and support for a softer overall
feel. Considering these factors when selecting a jute rug ensures you
choose one that not only looks beautiful but also feels exceptionally
soft and inviting in your home.
Tips for Maintaining Softness in Jute Rugs
To preserve the softness and beauty of your jute rug, follow these
essential tips:
- Regular vacuuming and cleaning are crucial to remove dirt and debris that can cause the fibres to become rough over time
- Avoiding moisture and humidity helps prevent mold and mildew growth, which can compromise the rug's softness and lead to stains
- Using rug pads underneath your jute rug not only adds cushioning for comfort but also protects it from wear and tear, maintaining its soft texture.
- Consider professional cleaning and maintenance periodically to deep clean and rejuvenate your jute rug, ensuring it stays soft and luxurious for years to come.
This particular rug has a nice thickness but it does slip around on
our dining room floor. I'll be adding a
rug pad
underneath to prevent that and to prolong the life of the rug.
Where to Buy Soft Jute Rugs
It's easy to see that soft jute rugs offer a ton of benefits that make
them a fantastic choice for enhancing your home's comfort and style.
Whether you're looking for a cozy accent or a practical yet stylish
floor covering, natural jute rugs deliver on both fronts.
