Lulu & Georgia Harriette Jute Rug

The Harriette from Lulu & Georgia is a standout jute rug from its fibers to its overall durability. We love that it’s handmade, woven from ultra-strong jute ropes to create a final product that features artisanal-level quality. The undyed fibers are a golden straw-like hue, which makes the rug’s color endlessly versatile for use in a variety of rooms and across aesthetics.

“In its natural color, jute is a beautiful neutral choice,” says designer Annie Kersey of Purple Cherry Architects. “The material is very easy to layer, so jute rugs are often used as a base to a layered rug concept.” From dining rooms and living rooms to bedrooms and entryways, the design works in every room and complements virtually any decor scheme. 

This particular jute rug sits 0.5 inches tall, which provides a nicely thick texture that feels high-quality in hand and under foot. Available in six sizes, we love that you can opt to purchase it in a small mat or an oversized area rug (or even choose multiple sizes if you want to use it in multiple rooms!)

Another detail we love about this jute rug is it doesn’t have any backing. This makes it easy to flip over if one side becomes permanently stained or discolored with wear. Like most jute area rugs, this one may shed slightly. However, regular vacuuming of the jute rug will minimize the effect, and you can always clip loose fibers with scissors.

Ruggable Border Braid Re-Jute Rug

“​​I love a jute rug for outdoors,” says Decorist interior designer Elise Payne. “But, a natural material would be better suited for a covered area, as it isn’t quite as mildew-resistant as a synthetic rug.” With this in mind, we recommend the Ruggable Border Braid Re-Jute Rug for outdoor use. 

When we tested this indoor/outdoor jute rug, we were impressed with its smooth, soft texture underfoot. Made from recycled polyester and polyurethane, synthetic jute like this can be a bit prickly, but that wasn’t the case at all. We also liked that, thanks to the included rug pad, it was cushioned enough to protect our bare feet from rocks and other objects when used outside.

Because this Ruggable Re-Jute rug is made with synthetic fibers instead of natural, you won’t have to worry about any shedding or fraying. We also love that it’s machine-washable; when we popped this rug into the wash, it came out looking like new.

Over the course of three months of at-home testing, we were also impressed with the rug’s overall durability. In addition to holding onto its fibers, keeping its original shape post-wash, and handling traffic like a pro, we loved that it was virtually indestructible for pets. The low pile prevented even cat claws from getting into the fibers and making any noticeable changes to the texture or appearance.

Nuloom Rigo Jute Area Rug

Orig. $269$91 at Amazon$55 at WalmartOrig. $832$24 at Target

If you’re looking for a rug that’ll fit your space perfectly, check out the handmade nuLOOM Rigo. This value-packed rug comes in a whopping 40 sizes and various shapes, including rectangular, oval, round, and square. It’s even available in a small doormat or a long runner rug. 

In our testing, we were particularly pleased by this jute rug’s durability. We placed it right inside our front door, where it received a ton of foot traffic over the course of six months. To our surprise, it remained completely stain-free—and that’s after we dragged in all kinds of dirt, debris, and mud. After everything we put this rug through, it wound up looking like it was still brand-new.

When it comes to color choices, you can opt for a non-dyed option, which will have natural variances in color, or for navy, black, or off-white. Our only concern with this rug? We were hesitant to vacuum it while testing, since we think the high suction of a typical vacuum would likely pull up the fibers and cause damage. However, we had no trouble simply brushing or shaking dirt off.

World Market Natural Basket Weave Jute Area Rug

$200 at World Market

World Market’s take on the jute rug is this visually pleasing and endlessly versatile basket-weave design. It features a warm, neutral hue of natural jute. The basket weave creates a textured surface that adds dimension to any space.

Available in seven different sizes, you can purchase this product as either a runner or an area rug. Considering the versatility and timeless look, we think it’s an exceptionally value-packed pick. Although World Market recommends that this rug is only professionally cleaned, we don’t suspect that this rug will require much upkeep in general.

Serena & Lily Diamond Jute Rug

Serena & Lily might be your best bet if you’re particularly interested in a high-end design and luxurious texture. Since the fibers are bleached, the surface is notably soft underfoot. However, it may need more consistent maintenance to uphold its quality compared to other options, with regular vacuuming and spot treatment as needed.

As the name suggests, this hand-braided rug features a diamond pattern for added dimension, while the off-white hue lends to a sophisticated beachy vibe. It comes in six sizes ranging from a narrow runner to an oversized 12 x 18-foot rectangle. This product is definitely a splurge, but you can count on long-lasting quality.

Revival Hart Jute Rug

If you’re looking for a jute rug that’ll add warmth and eye-catching texture to your space, Revival’s Hart Rug is a great choice. This area rug comes in 12 sizes, plus custom dimensions measuring up to 16 feet long. We like that it’s “low shed”—other jute rugs might be labeled “no-shed,” but during our real-world testing we found that it lost virtually no fibers. 

This area rug is handmade from unbleached jute and is loomed into an ultra-strong flatweave design. The surface is easy to clean with a vacuum, and you can flip it over in the event of a permanent stain. We had no trouble getting dirt and even baby spit-up out of the rug’s fibers; it spot-cleaned nicely, leaving no stains behind with nothing but a cloth. 

Jute fibers are known for slight color variance, but Revival sorts them by shade to create a more streamlined look. We did find that the corners curl up slightly, but you can remedy the issue with corner grippers or rug tape. Overall, we really liked the way this jute pick held up to medium foot traffic, including everything from crawling infants to pets and their claws.

Rugs USA Louie Diamond Checkerboard Jute Area Rug

$170 at Wayfair$343 at Rugsusa.com

Although jute may be known for its natural color, it doesn’t have to be boring—just check out the Natural Louie Diamond Checkerboard Jute Area Rug from Rugs USA. This design-forward rug features a checkerboard pattern that’s sure to add visual interest to any room.

Available in eight sizes and two different colorways, there are plenty of options to suit your space. The rug’s texture might be a bit rougher than some other jute rugs, but we think its unique design makes it well worth the price for those looking to invest in a patterned rug for their space.

Our editors have also praised Rugs USA for the retailer’s affordability, customer service, and catalog size. However, some respondents have noted some inconsistency in terms of product quality, so we definitely recommend checking the product reviews before making a purchase.

Rugs USA Jute Braided Area Rug

$57 at Rugsusa.com

We also like this braided design from Rugs USA. The braiding offers a boho design style, but it pairs effortlessly with rustic, modern, farmhouse, and beachy design schemes alike.

This area rug comes in 35 sizes and five shapes, including rectangular, round, oval, square, and runner. You can also choose from four colors, including un-dyed, off-white, black, and navy. While it’s relatively thin (0.25 inches tall), the easy-to-clean design is durable and even pet-friendly.

Joss & Main Striped Jute Area Rug

$369 at WayfairView on Jossandmain.com

This striped rug from Joss & Main is hand-loomed from a blend of jute and sisal. Like jute, sisal is a renewable, sustainable plant fiber, though it’s not quite as soft.1 Since it doesn’t have a backing, you can flip it over in the event of permanent discoloration.

Still, placing a rug pad underneath will prevent shifting while offering a little more softness underfoot. Though it only comes in one color, the dual-toned white and gray palette is perfectly neutral and versatile enough to work in various spaces.

This rug is available on Wayfair, which ended up being a surprise standout in our rug retailer survey. Our editors were very impressed by the quality of the rugs, especially considering the low price tags.

Pottery Barn Chunky Wool/Jute Rug

$119 at Pottery Barn

We were impressed by the feel of Pottery Barn’s Chunky Wool/Jute Rug from the moment we first touched it. This high-quality woven rug looks and feels luxurious, and unlike many jute rugs, it’s wonderfully soft. That’s thanks to its 60 percent jute and 40 percent wool fibers, which makes it softer, more insulating, and even flame-resistant compared to others on our list.3

Thanks to that blend of jute and wool fibers, we also experienced less shedding when we put this rug to the test. It was a great indoor addition, though we’d suggest placing it somewhere it won’t wind up covered in food (we tried it under a dining table, which isn’t the best placement since its weave is so thick and tricky to vacuum.) 

We also like that this handmade, slightly fluffy rug is available in seven sizes and four colors, including natural (which is undyed), black, gray, and a gray-ivory combo. 

Just keep in mind that this rug isn’t a great fit for high-traffic areas. We found it was one of the most difficult to clean; unlike easy-care options like Ruggable’s Border Braid Re-Jute Rug that can be tossed in the wash, Pottery Barn’s rug stains pretty easily. That being said, when it comes to styling and softness, this jute pick is hard to beat.

Rugs USA Blue Anna Scalloped Jute Area Rug

$359 at Rugsusa.com

With a unique design that doesn’t detract from the natural beauty of woven jute, the Blue Anna Scalloped Jute Area Rug is truly one of the most stylish picks on the market. It has scalloped edges, adding movement and shaping your space. The rug even features a charming pop of color along the border that we love.

This hand-braided jute rug is both pet-friendly and suitable for high-traffic areas. So whether you want to upgrade your living space with a rectangular area rug or add some visual appeal to your entryway with the runner size, we think the Blue Anna Scalloped Jute Rug is a great pick. Just note that some shoppers reported a strong odor upon arrival, which went away in time.

Hearth & Hand Bleached Jute Fringe Rug

$35 at Target

Sometimes, small details can make all the difference. This gorgeous jute rug from Hearth & Hand and Magnolia Home features knotted tassels along the hem, which provides a subtle textural contrast that we love. We think it adds a fun flair while not being overly distracting.

Because this rug is bleached, it has a lighter and slightly cooler-toned hue compared to other options on this list. If your decor isn’t warm, undyed jute may feel out of place, making this a great option to consider. Additionally, this product is an accent rug, not an area rug, which makes it suitable for smaller rooms. Just note that there are only two sizes available.
