Natural Fiber Rugs & Carpet

Natural fibers are derived from renewable sources such as grasses, plants, and wool. These fibers are harvested and transformed into materials that can be crafted or woven into a myriad of products, including rugs and carpet.

Our collection features natural fiber rugs and carpet made from sisal, seagrass, jute, coir, abaca, and wool. Prized for their distinctive textures, timeless appeal, and versatility, these materials remain favorites among homeowners and designers alike.

Learn more about each fiber's characteristics, including durability, sustainability, and ideal applications, by exploring our individual collection pages:

• Sisal: Made from the agave plant, sisal is prized for its exceptional durability, sophisticated woven patterns, and rich variety of textures. 

• Jute: Known for its softness underfoot, jute brings warmth, earthy tones, and richly textured weaves to any space. 

• Coir: The toughest of the natural plant fibers, coir comes from coconut husks and is distinguished by its coarse texture and deep golden hue. Exceptionally hard-wearing, it is ideal for durable rugs and carpet tiles.

• Seagrass: Seagrass rugs and carpets feature smooth, non-porous fibers that naturally resist staining while creating a clean, textured look.

• Wool: A wool area rug or wool carpet installed wall-to-wall brings warmth, comfort, and natural beauty to any space. Wool is renewable, durable, and timeless.

• Abaca: Prized for its subtle luster and refined texture, abaca brings an understated elegance and richness to luxury woven rugs.

Do you entertain often?

A wool dining room rug is a great choice, or go for a synthetic custom rug for added stain resistance and easier maintenance.

Do you prioritize natural, non-toxic materials?

Wool is generally the softest natural fiber for rugs and carpet, offering warmth and comfort underfoot. Other natural fibers offer varying degrees of softness depending on their construction and weave.

• Wool: Naturally soft and resilient, with textures ranging from smooth, tight weaves to thicker, more cushioned constructions.

• Jute: Offers a softer feel than many plant fibers, with textures ranging from fine to rustic.

• Seagrass A sleek, slightly waxy surface with a firmer feel than wool or jute.

• Sisal: Generally coarser underfoot, although chunkier weaves such as Munich and Berlin offer a gentler feel and soften over time.

• Sisal and wool blends: Combine the durability and texture of sisal with the added comfort of wool.

Natural fiber rugs grace the spaces of many different kinds of living situations and design styles. Discover the right weave for your dream interior with our curated collections and these inspired ideas:

• The gorgeous Abaca from Limited Edition makes a sensational statement in an urban industrial loft or an elegant penthouse apartment.

• Seagrass rugs are a standard in homes with coastal glamour, cottage or traditional interiors. Calypso Seagrass is a beautiful foundation for any room.

• A tiger-eye construction as seen in Dragon Grass or Monoblet creates a rug with a generous texture that melds well with modern farmhouse, contemporary, or scandi design.

• Chevron and herringbone carpet bring a vintage charm to contemporary spaces, recalling the elegant parquet wood floors of grand hotels and mid-century houses.

Natural fiber rugs and carpets require regular maintenance, but routine care is relatively straightforward. We recommend regular vacuuming to remove dirt and dust from the rug fibers, a no-shoes policy, and walk-off mats at entrances. Spills and accidents should be addressed promptly, as staining can happen quickly.

For added protection, some natural fiber rugs and carpets can be treated with a spray-on sealant to help reduce staining. Check the product's care recommendations before applying any treatment. You'll find care and maintenance guidelines under the Care tab on each product page.

For easier maintenance and added stain resistance, explore our SisalPLUS family or sisal-look options from SynSisal, Rols, and our synthetic sisal rug collection. These options offer a range of textures and patterns with the appearance of natural sisal.

Sisal and coir are among the toughest natural plant fibers, making them excellent materials for high-traffic rugs and carpet. Wool and seagrass also offer excellent durability, although performance varies by weave and construction.

Sisal, coir, and seagrass are well suited to busy entryways, hallways, living rooms, and other gathering spaces. Our Contract Coir Tiles and Contract Coir combine coir and sisal for contract-grade use in retail and office environments.

For added stain resistance, our SisalPLUS collection offers classic sisal textures in a range of tonal colorways, with contract-grade options.
