Jute is a coarse, matt natural fibre, yet in a circle it looks surprisingly soft. A round jute rug takes the edge off rooms full of straight lines. All 26 designs here are woven by hand, nearly all from 100 % jute. The rest are 80 % jute and 20 % cotton.
A round jute rug under the dining table
Measure the table first. Then add about 60 cm all round for the chairs. A table 80 cm across therefore needs Ø 200 cm, which happens to be one of the three diameters with the widest choice, next to Ø 60 and Ø 120 cm. Go for a flatter weave here. With a short pile, chairs slide over it easily.
In the living room
In front of the sofa the thicker version is fine, because nobody drags a chair across it. A large round jute rug of Ø 250 or 300 cm takes sofa and armchairs completely, although the choice at those sizes is small. Ø 160 cm comes in 13 jute designs. Compare it with a 160cm round rug in other materials, or browse our rugs for the living room for more formats.
By the armchair and the front door
A small round jute rug of Ø 60 or 80 cm marks the spot in front of an armchair, beside the bed or just inside the front door. Natural shades lead. Mostly beige and light brown. For stronger accents there are single pieces in blue, orange or grey, and you can pick a white or a round black jute rug for contrast.
Beige almost disappears on light oak. On dark tiles the same circle becomes the focal point.
When another shape fits better
In a narrow room an oval rug often works better than a circle. A square rug sits neatly in an alcove, and clear floor plans suit a rectangle rug. Jute belongs indoors, though. For the patio or balcony, look at a round outdoor rug made for the job.
Frequently asked questions
Is the sisal-look version made of sisal?
No. Despite the look, it is 80 % jute and 20 % cotton.
Can jute get wet?
Better not. Jute soaks up moisture and can end up with marks or ripples, so blot any spill dry straight away.
Is there a 100 cm version?
Yes, but only a couple. If that does not suit, look at Ø 90 cm or Ø 120 cm, which come up far more often.
