| 2. Traditional living rooms. Natural fiber rugs can add a touch of modern simplicity to a traditional room in cream, white and beige. There's a casual elegance and timeless feel to the mix of cream upholstery, a jute rug, and a chandelier. Private Comment

| Beige, black and white. Monochrome with a bit of drama. Here a natural fiber rug anchors the room and provides a calming backdrop to more ornate pieces like the the tapestry and chandelier. A traditional Oriental rug would completely change the look of this room and would cause it to feel heavier or more serious. The natural fiber rug lends a more casual feel. Private Comment

| 3. Modern and eclectic living rooms. This is one of my favorite rooms on Houzz. In this setting with a mix of vintage style upholstered furniture and a whimsical chandelier juxtaposed against traditional architecture, I can't imagine anything other than a natural fiber rug to tie the space together.

| When you have a larger room where two or more rugs might be desired, natural fiber rugs help you mix and layer different weaves, fibers, colors and patterns. Private Comment

| 5. Kitchens. Natural fiber rugs are great for kitchens. They naturally repel dirt and you can take them outside and shake them out. Strangely, I find that having a natural fiber rug underfoot doesn't make me think to take off my shoes and I don't worry about it. I love using them for entrance mats as well as in mudrooms and entryways. Private Comment
