Rugs vary in material and include sisal area rugs, wool area rugs, seagrass area rugs and jute area rugs. Weaves range in smoothness with some accentuating the fiber texture while others tend to hide it. Area rugs made of refined piled jute have a softer feel and a more sophisticated, contemporary style. The seagrass rugs found in the Fiber works emphasize the beautiful natural materials.

A potpourri look can be found in rugs with a blend of different natural fibers. This option portrays a traditional country feel that would warm up the flooring of a kitchen or family room. While neutrals and subtle tones are the norm for natural fiber rugs, one can also find varieties in vibrant colors to match any room accents.

While vegetable-fiber rugs are very durable, they are not indestructible. Like any natural product, they can break down under wear and weathering. So it is suggested to keep the rugs away from moisture and treating them with stain protector to prevent spills and dirt from absorbing into the fibers. For day-to-day maintenance, use a high-suction vacuum cleaner, but don't ever engage the beater bars, as they can tear up the fibers.

Coir rugs are made from coconut husks and are the roughest of the vegetable-fiber rugs. It's best to use them for walk-off mats by your door or on a screened porch. While these are some of the most common vegetable-fiber rugs, you can also find rugs made of hemp, jute, bamboo and even woven paper. And if the natural fibers are too rough for your feet, check out the wool rugs woven to look like sisals.
