Suitability

Natural fiber area rugs can be used in most areas of the home. We recommend a common sense approach to placement of natural fiber rugs.

  • Infants may not enjoy crawling on the rough surface of plant fibers such as sisal.
  • In homes with small children, our wool blends and indoor/outdoor products are a good mix of design, durability, and stain resistance.
  • Stairs may become slick when natural fibers such as sisal, seagrass or jute are applied. We do not recommend these products for stair runners.
  • If numerous spills occur at your kitchen table, you may want to reconsider this as a suitable location for a natural fiber rug.
  • Bathrooms may not be suitable locations due to moisture.
  • For enclosed porches or sunrooms that are not climate controlled, we recommend our indoor/outdoor products.
  • In high traffic areas, use a more durable natural fiber such as sisal, seagrass, or wool.
  • Pile height should be taken into consideration for door clearance, entryways and foot traffic.
  • Be mindful of construction and pattern when planning spaces. For example moving chairs in a dining area.
  • Big rooms need big rugs! We offer up to 16’4″ wide materials.
