J is for Jute Rugs

Area rugs make a space feel cozy and comfortable, and I’ve found that the most durable material for a rug is jute. Similar to sisal rugs, jute is a natural fiber that is spun into long threads and woven into a rug. The natural colors of jute are stone, khaki, and tan, so jute rugs are a great way to bring a space together without adding a clashing color (it also adds great texture to the look of your room).

My favorite place to find rugs is overstock.com. Remember, no matter how much you order, your shipping costs are only $2.95 for your entire order. I love this rug with its beige border and tightly woven design. This one is also great!

The Importance of Texture

 

Is your room feeling ho hum? I have a great way for you to add some spice to your room’s decor without breaking the bank! Repeat after me: Texture.

Adding texture to your decor can add an important visual and tactile element to your room.

 

A wooden coffee table with rough-hewn edges that sits on the smooth surface of a chenille rug are just a few examples of textures working together to make a room unique!

 

Whenever I’m choosing an item to decorate a home, I always check to see if I like the way it feels.

 

This sounds weird, but I think it’s important! From lamp shades to rugs and pillows to curtains, you should like the way something feels as well as the way it looks.

Since it’s summer, I’m really loving seersucker, seagrass, and jute, which are all textures that remind me of being at the beach. I’m thinking preppy seersucker pillows, seagrass wallpaper, and a jute (which is a cousin to sisal) area rug.
