White Jute Rugs

Brighten up with White Jute Rugs

If you want a white jute rug in your home, you’re in for a treat. These beautiful area rugs will make a statement in your home and last for generations.

Why a White Jute Rug?

Jute is a natural plant fiber that is tan, and it must be bleached to achieve a white color. As such, you won’t find a white jute rug in just anybody’s home. These beauties are somewhat uncommon, which is why they stand out so well when used in a home’s décor.

A white jute area rug might be layered with a flat weave rug on top of it, or it might sit on top of a sisal rug to play with texture. Whatever your plans, you can rest assured that it’ll create a natural, calming background for your room.

The following ideas are just some of many ways you might use a white jute area rug:

• A white round jute rug in a dining room, beneath a round table, to accent the home’s nautical/chic décor.
• A black and white jute rug in a large living room, adding playful neutrality and dramatic lines, naturally drawing people in.
• A white jute rug 9x12 in a large living room, layered on top of a sisal rug for more cushion. The jute is softer than sisal, making the room more comfortable and welcoming to guests.

A Closer Look at White Jute Rugs

White jute rugs brighten a room naturally, without being too harsh on the eyes or too refined for more relaxed décor styles. An interior decorator might use them in a room that has plenty of colors and lacks grounding neutrality to bring it all together.

In Feng Shui and color psychology, white is associated with cleanliness, calmness, freshness and purity to name a few. When you pair these associations with the natural jute fiber, it softens the edges and can create a clean and grounding space.

Is a White Jute Rug Right for Me?

If you’re wondering if a white jute rug will go with your décor, the answer is yes. You can completely change a room with a single white jute area rug without having to adjust any other elements.

However, if you have a lifestyle that brings lots of dirt, moisture, stains, spills, and soil into the home, you might want to go with a different rug. White tends to be more challenging to clean, and jute fibers can't withstand heavy scrubbing or washing.

Because jute fibers are fragile when cleaned, the white color will be difficult to maintain in a high-traffic area. These rugs are best used in low-traffic zones that don’t receive much walking or dirt.

Assuming your lifestyle can accommodate a white jute rug, you’ll just need to measure your room and use the following chart to determine what size of rug you need:

• Room: 5’ x 7’ – Rug: 3’ x 5’
• Room: 7’ x 10’ – Rug: 5’ x 8’
• Room: 10’ x 12’ – Rug: 8’ x 10’
• Room: 11’ x 14’ – Rug: 9’ x 12’
• Room: 14’ x 17’ – Rug: 12’ x 15’

Choosing the Perfect White Jute Area Rug

Once you have your size in mind, use the filters to narrow your search to rugs that will fit in your space. From there, it’s all about which white jute rug you like the most. Don’t forget to add a quality pad to prevent slipping while adding cushion to your floor.
