Looks aside, area rugs help absorb and decrease noise as they soften the step of hardwood and tile flooring. Made in India, this one's handwoven from jute, a natural fiber that is the perfect pick for adding a touch of texture to your ensemble. It features a low 0.55'' pile height and flatweave technique, so it’s ideal for areas with high foot traffic – especially in homes with little ones and four-legged friends running around. To keep this piece safely in place, we recommend using a rug pad.
