10 Natural Area Rug Finds on Amazon

Choosing a rug–especially a natural texture rug– can be a headache. I know from experience. There are so many options that they all seem to run together. One of my best purchases for our living room was our sisal and I would recommend it a hundred times over. Unfortunately, I think I bought mine on its way out because it seems to be discontinued and impossible to find in a larger size online.  So, in an effort to give you more sources, I scoured Amazon and am sharing the 10 best natural area rugs I found. (I looked through reviews and made sure that most of these are still available in at least an 8×10 or larger.)

• When in doubt, size up. In a living room especially, I would always rather err on the side of too much rug than not enough.
• If you’re considering pattern or no pattern in a natural rug, think about how you plan to use it down the road. Do you love the look of layered rugs? I’d stick with less pattern on a natural rug if I ever thought about layering a busier rug on top at some point.
• Is the natural rug going to go over carpet? I’d go with a flatter weave so it lays better.
• I can’t speak from experience with pets but I have had crawling babies. I would stay away from a harder texture like seagrass and go with something that has a softer blend of materials. (I had this chenille/jute rug when our twins were crawlers. Actually, I’m still using it under a vintage rug now.)
• If you’re worried about stains and dirt, I’d probably go the jute route. It literally shows nothing.

1. Sisal and jute, patterned–This one is actually from the same collection as the sisal I have in our living room now. It has a similar diamond pattern and as of this post date, several 8×10 and 9×13’s are still available.
2. Chunky jute–This is almost a lookalike of the Pottery Barn jute I’ve had for years. Great texture but you will definitely need a rug pad.
3. Woven jute–A good option if you love the texture of jute but want a flatweave, especially for layering over carpet.
4. Seagrass and cotton–Another good option for layering. The cotton should make this a softer blend.
5. Seagrass with a border–Gives you a more tailored look. Lots of border color options.
6. Diamond jute–Another rug similar to my living room one and in the same collection. I like the understated pattern. Looks a little more formal.
7. Sisal with self-edge–I like that this one has a backing. Also very understated and could work with just about any style.
8. Fringe jute–A more casual–and more patterned–look. The weight of this one would probably work better for layering over carpet.
9. Seagrass with border–This one has a low pile and would work well for high-traffic areas.
10. Ivory jute rug–A really pretty neutral shade if you want the look of a natural rug without gold/tan tones.
