There are so many benefits of using raw, eco-friendly flooring mats.
Natural floor rugs are made of many materials, several of which include
Leather, Jute, Hemp, Cotton, Wool, and Bamboo. In addition to the
benefits of better health and cleanliness, incorporating sustainable
materials in your home creates a cosy, organic environment for you and
your family. This, not to mention the fact that natural rugs add
character and vitality to any room, making this carpet types one of the
most popular choices in Australian homes to date.
Many natural rug materials are made from rapidly renewable strands
that come from plants, such as Jute, Bamboo, and Fleece. As it
grows, they can be harvested again and again, causing no harm to the
environment at any stage. Due to the wool rugs being made from raw
materials, there’s no eco-damaging manufacturing involved. Sisal
rugs, extracted from the leaves of the ‘Agave Sisalana’ plant, are
the most popular of the plant materials used for making natural
rugs.
This plant is native to Central America but is now grown worldwide,
especially in Java, East Africa, and Mexico. This is the only
plant-based carpet material; the name has come to be used
generically for all plant-based and organic carpet materials. This
plant material has long, fine strands that allow it to be made into
smooth, textured yarn. Natural Sisal rugs are anti-static, sound
absorbent, flame repellent, and long-lasting, all of which make
these carpets a great option to consider for any home.
Natural Jute Rugs in Australia are made from stem plants, coming
mainly from India and China. This raw material is well-suited for
making durable yarns and fabrics because of its stability and
firmness. Like other plant material such as agave and coir, this
organic ingredient has a nice look when made into carpet, but it can
be coarse and is susceptible to stains. This is just one of the
reasons that organic and synthetic carpet materials might be blended
together to make area mats. Natural Jute rugs are a great choice for
high traffic areas and give a relaxed boho or beachy feel, they are
popular choices for homes that aim to get that on-trend coastal, or
Hamptons look.
Finally, Natural wool rugs are a great choice for those who are
wanting a raw and real look to their home with all the comfort and
softness of a man-made material. This carpet is ideal for the
environmentally conscious as it is harvested from sheep, which makes
it fully sustainable for the environment. Felted wool rugs are made
using unspun fleece material, giving them that very popular soft,
“fluffy” feel. They are hand-loomed most commonly in India and are
produced one mat at a time by select artisans which have been
practising the craft for years, making each piece individual as the
next in size, colour, and overall look. There are many choices of
natural rugs online here at The Rug Lady! Our felted carpets are one
of our best sellers as they work well in most styles and spaces.
They usually also come in organically muted colours that accentuate
surrounding décor, as opposed to colourful, patterned carpets that
work specifically with certain products and home pieces.
Many of the rug lady’s products are made from fleece. Wool rugs are a
popular choice for those wanting a carpet made from raw materials.
