Sisal Rugs & Carpet

Sisal is a natural fiber that is produced from the long leaves of the Agave Sisalana cactus plant. Grown in arid environments, sisal’s tough fibers are ideal for many hard-wearing products like twines, ropes, and rugs. Sisal floor coverings are remarkably versatile and extremely durable, enabling us to produce rugs and carpets in a range of shades and styles.

Sisal's exceptionally strong fibers stand up well in high-traffic areas like living rooms, family rooms, offices, and hallways. Sisal rugs bring rich texture and understated elegance to these spaces, while their neutral color palette provides a versatile foundation for a range of interior styles.

Sisal carpet and rug prices vary by weave, construction, and amount of material needed. Wall-to-wall broadloom is priced by the square yard, while custom sisal rugs are priced by the square foot, with additional costs for finishing options.

At Curran, wall-to-wall sisal carpet ranges from approximately $74 to $321 per square yard, with options from simple, understated weaves to more intricate patterns and textures. These prices reflect carpet material only. Installation, underlayment, and other project requirements affect the final cost.

Browse our sisal collection to compare weaves and pricing. Each product page displays starting prices for area rugs and per-square-yard pricing for wall-to-wall carpet. Once you've selected a weave, use our online Rug Builder to experiment with sizes and finishing options and calculate the price of your custom sisal rug or broadloom carpet.

Sisal is a renewable, biodegradable plant fiber traditionally cultivated without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. These qualities make natural sisal a clean, sustainable flooring option.

However, many sisal rugs use chemical adhesives to secure the backing to the pile and/or have a latex backing. If you are looking for a 100% chemical-free option, our EarthSISAL™ is backed with a recycled natural fleece backing via a mechanical needle-punch process. No adhesive, no chemicals.

With a sisal rug, your first line of defense is to vacuum regularly. Vacuuming removes dirt and dust before they become embedded in the fibers. Entry mats and a no-shoes policy also help minimize tracked-in dirt.

Natural sisal is sensitive to moisture, so avoid placing it in kitchens, laundry rooms, or other areas prone to spills. A suitable protective treatment may help slow liquid absorption but will not make sisal waterproof.

Each weave includes maintenance instructions under its Care tab. For additional guidance, visit our Care Guides page.

If ease of maintenance is a priority, consider our stain-resistant sisal collection, or explore SynSisal for a durable, synthetic sisal alternative.

Sisal is highly absorbent and can act as a natural humidifier in dry climates, but it does not fare well outdoors or in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or mudrooms where contact with water is a risk.

Many people love the look of a natural sisal area rug in a kitchen , where its warmth and texture balance hard surfaces and appliances. If you choose sisal for your kitchen, a suitable spray-on sealant can help slow liquid absorption, though it will not make the rug waterproof.

For easier maintenance, our stain-resistant sisals and synthetic, sisal-look SynSisal are both dependable options.

Sisal works beautifully as either a focal point or a subtle foundation. Its robust texture, range of hues, and variety of structures make it one of the most versatile materials in interior design.

Timeless Foundations

• Bouclé sisal (like Madrid or Oslo) is a classic and offers a sophisticated foundation that suits traditional, bohemian, transitional, coastal or minimalist styles.

• Basketweave sisal rugs like Halifax or Kent add texture and charm to any space, from dining rooms to hallway runners.

• Herringbone & Chevron: The zig-zag pattern of Porto adds energy underfoot, while stain-resistant Vashon offers a classic herringbone design.

Add Color

• If you love to thread color throughout your design style, a sisal rug finished with colorful serged edges is the perfect match. See our Color Splash sisal for colorful border options.

• Use sisal as a base layer and add vintage rugs in colorful patterns on top.

Flexible for Any Layout

• A custom-crafted sisal rug adds an elegant and versatile design element to your space.

• For a traditional wall-to-wall installation, sisal creates a seamless, neutral base. We carry extra-wide sisals for extra large rugs or installations.
