How to Use Natural Fiber Furnishings

Woven Shades, Area Rugs & Decor

Jute, sisal, seagrass – how are you supposed to choose the right natural fiber furnishings for your home? We’ll make it easy for you.

Jute is a high performance material, great for lots of foot and paw traffic.

Sisal is an incredibly strong plant with the added benefit of rarely (and sometimes never) being sprayed with pesticides. Go green!

Seagrass is durable, affordable, and provides glorious texture to any space.

1. Natural Fiber Area Rug Options

Jute, sisal, and seagrass are all excellent options for your next area rug, hallway runner, or stair treads. If you have pets or young children, jute might be your best option. It can handle water better than seagrass, ironically.

If you are more concerned about aesthetics, seagrass or sisal might be exactly what your space needs. Make sure you measure the space carefully to ensure you get the correctly size rug for your needs. (Remember, the front legs of all furniture need to be on the rug, not outside its perimeter.)

2. Natural Woven Shade Ideas

Natural woven shades add a beachy texture to your interior, and their neutral colors bring earthy calmness. These treatments are ideal for kitchens and home offices and can be layered with sheer or regular drapery panels for a more unique result.

Whether you have a traditional, rustic, historic, or farmhouse style home, you’ll get many compliments on these window coverings.

3. Natural Fiber Accessories and Decor

Baskets, totes, place mats, and artwork are often made of natural fibers. You can incorporate these items into your decor year round – especially if your aesthetic is country, rustic, farmhouse, or traditional.

You can also use these items as seasonal decor, perfect for creating warmth and bringing all the beach or lake living vibes to your home.
