Affordable 'Quiet Pattern' Jute Rug Making a Grand Appearance in Various Rooms - Now Discover a Budget-Friendly Option Under £200
In the realm of home decor, it's common to struggle with finding the perfect rug, especially when moving into a fresh space. The impact a rug can have on a room, from transforming a blank canvas into a cozy haven, is undeniable, but finding a style that complements the space without being overpowering seems to be a recurring challenge.
Fear not my friends, for I have uncovered a gem: the John Lewis Diamond Jute Rug. This rug—now turning heads left, right, and center on social media—is such a dream, it'll make you forget all about your search woes.
Why, you ask? Well, our very own editor, Hugh Metcalf, a man of impeccable taste I might add, owns this very rug. According to Hugh, this rug's claim to fame lies in its 'quiet pattern design, giving a sophisticated twist to a style that sometimes feels a little juvenile.'
And remember, minimalists have always been ardent followers of jute rugs. The natural material adds warmth, texture, and creates a serene ambiance to any space, all without adding too much color. This masterpiece from John Lewis sports a subtle checkerboard pattern woven into its golden texture, adding visual interest without becoming a distraction. It's a beautiful dance between subtle elegance and practicality.
Price: £175 / £300Size: L180 x W120cm / L240 x W170cm
The light dances off the woven pattern, making it more pronounced from certain angles. As if that wasn't already enough to sway you, they've got you covered with various sizes, including a runner that would look drop-dead gorgeous in a kitchen or entryway. Speaking of runners, don't forget to pair your fab new rug with an underlay like this one to prevent it from slipping underfoot.
So why is this beast a top choice in my book? Most of the attention this style is receiving revolves around that clever checkerboard weave. According to Hugh, the pattern isn't fixed in one place—it's an optical illusion of sorts, more prominent when viewed from afar than when you're standing on it. Fancy, huh?
Regardless of the style of your room, this rug would fit right in. From moody living rooms, contemporary bedrooms, or even the centerpiece of a modern living room, finding a room where this rug wouldn't work would be nigh on impossible.
Still undecided on whether this jute beauty is the one for you? Let me introduce you to a few other styles that have caught my eye:
For The Mood Maker

Who doesn't love a darker hue? This Arushi jute rug from Rowen and Wren comes with a slightly steeper price tag, but its darker color would pair beautifully in moodier living rooms while still maintaining that organic feel.
The Playful One

If you're looking for something more wallet-friendly, this La Redoute variation of the jute checkerboard rug is a classic choice. The pattern is a blend of classic checkerboard and a classic weave, ideal for those who enjoys a subtle mix.
For The Off-White Lover
