The Best Natural Area Rugs for High Traffic Areas

 

Sisal Area Rugs

Sisal fibers are stiff and strong, and when woven into a sisal area rug the end result is a natural rug that is very durable and can withstand plenty of foot traffic. Depending on the weave and pile, some sisal area rugs are more durable and stain-resistant than others.

For example, our Milano Sisal is our most stain and water-resistant sisal area rug. Before being woven into the rug, each fiber is treated for stains, creating a natural rug that’s both strong and stylish. In addition to Milano Sisal, any sisal area rug that has a thin pile is also a great option for high-traffic areas like hallways, entryways, or even kitchens. In fact, sisal area rugs are often recommended for use in hospitality spaces like restaurants, bars, lobbies, and hotel guest rooms because they can take a beating without losing their integrity.

Seagrass Area Rugs

Seagrass area rugs are known for their long-lasting durability. While their reed-like material, these rugs are one of the most stain-resistant natural area rugs you can find. Given their durable nature, many homeowners place seagrass rugs in their front entryway or in other high-traffic areas in their homes. Their undyed, natural tones give them a unique look and are a great match for any interior design style.

The Best Natural Area Rugs for Medium Traffic Areas

 

Jute Area Rugs

In contrast to sisal fibers, jute is much softer and therefore not as durable. That being said, jute is still a strong fiber and was once the go-to material for ropes on naval ships. But when it comes to your home’s floors, natural jute area rugs are best placed in areas with light traffic where your bare feet can enjoy the soft weave of the rug. Bedrooms or family rooms are a great fit, for example. Adding a colorful binding is a great way to make a jute area rug pop and add to the overall look and feel of the room.

100% Wool Area Rugs

Wool area rugs are extremely soft and comfortable, making them the perfect area rug for bedrooms and other low-traffic areas in your home. While they’re not as durable as other natural-fiber options, wool fibers still have special properties that help them last for years to come. For example, wool area rugs still retain a natural lanolin coating that wicks away moisture and protects the rug’s fibers from stains or messes.

Our wool area rugs are made from 100% natural wool fibers and harvested from the sheep to ensure that they don’t suffer from heat exhaustion during the summer. They’re sustainable and eco-friendly options for your home, and each rug is handwoven and available in custom shapes and sizes to perfectly fit your needs.

What Are the Benefits Natural Area Rugs?

Sustainability

Each natural area rug we offer is made from 100% natural fibers that are sustainably and ethically sourced. These fibers are renewable and biodegradable as well, meaning you can feel good about using these environmentally friendly floor coverings in your home versus that of a synthetic, man-made fiber area rug. In addition to being food for the environment, harvesting these fibers helps support the local economy in areas like Tanzania, the Pacific Rim, Bangladesh, and more.

With so many textures, patterns, fibers, and colors to choose from, natural fiber area rugs are diverse in look and feel. Regardless of the room or design style you’re trying to find a rug for, there’s a perfect natural area rug that will fit both your functional and design needs. Think size might be an issue? Think again. All of our natural area rugs come in both standard and custom sizes. We can even make our rugs into custom shapes to ensure that the rug you purchase is the perfect fit for your space.
