How a Jute Living Room Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A jute living room rug can highlight your other decor by complementing their color palette, style, and tone. Whenever you’re designing a room, it’s important to look at these connecting factors, because when you tie your room together stylistically and thematically, it creates a cohesive space where each element has a chance to shine as a larger piece of the puzzle. 

Decorating With a Jute Living Room Rug

When you think of jute living room rugs, perhaps you only think of tan woven rugs. While that is an option for jute rugs, there’s so much more to them than just that! These rugs come in all sorts of different patterns, colors, and styles. Not only that, but there are so many options for pile height and plushness to make sure that this rug is both stylish and comfortable. So no matter what style or function you’re looking for, there’s sure to be a jute living room area rug out there that’s perfect for you. 

Choosing Which Jute Living Room Rug is Right for You

As you begin your shopping process, consider these key areas for your rug. 

Position: First, determine how you want to set up your room’s layout and how the rug will fit into that. There are many options, so take these ideas as guidelines to get you started. 

Living Room Accent: If you’re trying to set up a small social corner or reading nook, use a small jute rug to establish that area. 

Small Living Rooms: 5x8 and 6x9 jute living room rugs are often the right size to line up with a small sofa/loveseat and other seats when your room is smaller. You can have the rug float in front of the furniture or sit under their front two legs. 

Medium/Large Living Rooms: When it comes to living rooms that are medium to large, use an 8x10 jute living room rug with your main seating area. With a rug of this size, you’ll likely have the front legs on the rug, and you may have the rug go further beneath the seats. 

Large Living Rooms: In bigger rooms, the rug can go all the way under the furniture or even extend out from the ends of the seats. Try a 9x12, 10x14, or 12x15 rug depending on your room’s size. 

Shape/Size: Once you know your ideal layout, you should measure things out to make sure you order the right size. Plus, jute living room area rugs are available in many different shapes, from the standard options of round and rectangular all the way to oval, square, or other shapes. Be intentional with which shape works best in your ideal layout and room’s footprint to maximize the space. 

Pattern: Next up, you should decide what sort of pattern or design you want in your living room rug. Some will just highlight different textures, but others will use patterns associated with different styles. Choose a pattern that fits the style and tone of your space by choosing a rug with similar motifs and texture to your other decor and furnishings. 

Color: Color is a key aspect in determining a rug’s style. While tan jute rugs are a solid option in many styles, you’ll find that jute rugs are available in many colors, like the neutral tones of black, white, and grey. Even other colors such as blue, green, and red are available. Once again, look at your existing decor and your overarching style to find a color palette that fits and strikes the proper tone.
