If you’re like most people, you’ve been hearing a lot about sustainable products. To get an idea of what area rugs made from these natural textiles have to offer eco-conscious consumers, here’s a quick look at some natural rug products.
Sisal rugs: Sisal is a long fiber that comes from the spiky, sword-like leaves of the agave plant. Sisal fibers are spun into a textured yarn. The long-wearing property of sisal makes it an ideal material for carpet and area rugs. It’s also naturally sound absorbing, anti-static and flame resistant.
Seagrass rugs: A resilient tall plant that comes from wetlands, the non-porous fibers of seagrass create a naturally smooth texture. Seagrass products have a sweet hay-like scent which lessens over time.
Mountain grass rugs: Found up in the high slopes of the Pacific Rim, mountain grass reeds offer a natural, wood-like texture.
Jute rugs: Jute is a plant fiber that has been used all through India for centuries to make strong yarns and fabrics.
Bamboo rugs: This environmentally friendly fiber produces a strong, beautiful flooring material. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the earth.
Wool: Used for many centuries to create soft yarns to keep us warm and dry, wool naturally removes contaminants from the air and controls indoor humidity.
Natural materials create area rugs that are distinctly beautiful. Now that you know how they are made, you’ll want to see just how attractive these accent rugs can be.
