When in doubt, a jute rug is always a winner. The minimalist homeowner's go-to, the golden fiber of jute is the perfect underfoot accompaniment to a neutral scheme.
Bringing warmth, texture and a feeling of nature to a space, the best rugs work under your coffee table to zone the space and look beautiful when layered in a bedroom for a cozy, textured effect. Jute does all of these things, brining together furniture that in different color and styles, making it the perfect living room rug choice.
Round Jute Rugs
Price: $68.98
Size: 5' x 5'
This round area rug is an absolute steal from Walmart. Handwoven in jute, it would work under a round coffee table, or layered with two other rugs to form a textured feel underfoot.
Jute Runners
Price: $336.75
Was: $449
Size: 2'6" x 9'
The Cali natural fiber area rug is handwoven in braids of natural jute. The borders are serged for a nicely finished look and to avoid it from fraying.
Price: $69.70
Was: $82
Size: 2.6' x 6.6'
This 100 percent jute rug is available in two different lengths and has been specially crafted for hallways or narrow rooms. I like the idea of placing it at the foot of the bed as a stylish bedside rug.
Price: $119.62
Size: 2'3" x 16'
Help to connect different rooms in the home with this jute runner, available in a variety of lengths. It's handmade, stain resistant, and will sit well in an entryway.
Colored Jute Rugs
Price: $240
Was: $320
Size: 3.9' x 5.7'
This terracotta-tinged jute rug is 100 percent jute and an artisanal creation, meaning every rug is different. I also like the fringed tassels for a bit of extra texture.
Price: $47.98
Was: $120
Size: 3' x 5'
This is a bargain buy and is available in a selection of interesting colors. The brighter tones are a little garish, but I like the pink which could serve as a bold pop in a neutral color scheme in a nursery.
Rectangular Jute Rugs
Price: $388
Size: 3' x 5'
This might be my favorite jute rug of them all as you can really see the texture, definition and craftsmanship which makes it so beautiful. It has a slight geometric pattern too which is oh so subtle.

Why are jute rugs the perfect minimalist piece of decor?
John Pawson's home in Oxfordshire, UK
Even an ultra-minimalist who wants as little decor as possible in their home can't deny the impact of a rug. Helping to zone space, create a focal point, a rug is really a fantastic decorative tool.
Minimalists looking for rugs that fit their aesthetic and work as a tool at the same time should look no further than a jute rug. From leading architect and renowned minimalist John Pawson (above) to London design firm, Studio Nune, to the soothing colors used by Danish studio Norm Architects, all the most popular minimalist designers have completed one design or another with the addition of a simple jute rug.
Jute rugs have long been fashionable, favored for their natural look and working to soften just about every room in the home. They are made from jute plants, grown in Asia, but a lot of their appeal comes from the budget friendly price point you can find them at.
Armadillo has just launched its latest rug collection, Mojave, made with an Indo Nepali hand-knotted Tibetan weave and inspired by ephemeral desert landscapes. Mojave is available in three soothing tones - Natural, Cashew and Laurel. They are all beautiful, if on the pricey side. Meanwhile, if you're looking for more interesting patterns, A Rum Fellow have worked on jute combinations which mean you get the natural look with a touch of pattern and interest, instead of the standard flat weave. On the more budget friendly end of the scale, the likes of La Redoute and even Wayfair are always a great shout.
