Just like the classic white T-shirt of the fashion world, jute is simple but so chic. Pair with just about anything and you've got yourself a curated look that looks much more expensive than it is. You can pick up one for cheap and replace it when needed or invest in the best quality one and keep it for pretty much the rest of your life.
Jute rugs have literally been around forever (well, almost). They really are one of the biggest rug trends RN, though at this rate, they're pretty much a timeless staple. Most popular with the vanilla girl aesthetic and Scandi lovers who go wild for anything neutral (and eco), you'll see these jute rugs all over the feeds of interior IG girls — the kind with white homes you could only dream of.
Made from a renewable plant fiber known for its strength and durability, jute rugs are practically perfect in every single way. Seriously: Check out how many sizes and shapes you can get one in.

The cutest jute rug

Sizes: 3 options
If you thought jute rugs are simply neutral ONLY, then forget what you heard. There are plenty of colorful jute rugs to add a pop of pink home decor (or whatever other color) to your place.
Is jute a good material for a rug?
Short answer: yes! Jute is super durable, making it a great option for just about any home. Designed for high-traffic areas, they won't wear down quickly and are easy to clean. Made of soft fibers, they're pretty comfy to walk on, too. However, because it's not cozy or shaggy like other rugs, it'll work well for outdoor spaces.
