There are quite a few products available now to help rugs stay in place.  Some are specifically for carpet, while others are suitable for use on wooden floors.   With wooden flooring being so fashionable, there is a greater demand for non-slip rugs.  According to some forums, there appears to be a mesh, almost rubbery feel rug underlay available, which from all accounts is a very effective solution.

Some rugs for home have an anti-slip backing (such as latex) to minimize movement which can be helpful.  We found a few of the jute rugs such as Natural Herringbone and Natural Twist with this backing on a website where you can buy rugs online called www.nicerug.co.uk

Mocha Large Jute Rug

Jute is a hardwearing yet soft natural material originating from India. It is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from plants in the genus Corchorus, family Tiliaceae. Jute makes an ideal material for rugs for its aesthetic and durable properties.
Mocha is a large floor area rug measuring 1.5 x 2.4m (5 x 8’). For more information check out the Nice Rug website for yourself, there are many other styles of natural rug and modern rugs to view as well.

‘Monster Skin Rug’ is the latest creation of artist/designer Joshua Ben Longo and is quite possibly the coolest floor covering we’ve ever seen. Finished with a combination of brushed woven cashmere and wool, and constructed using polymer clay, this monstrous creation would become the talking point of any room.

The website (http://www.longoland.com) describes itself as a multidisciplinary funhouse lead by Joshua; who after graduating in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute decided the world of traditional product design was too restrictive for the fantastical visions he had.

Longoland is a menagerie of the bizarre. Wing back chairs are covered in scaly, woolen monster pelt. Half dog, half armadillo critters sneer from behind rows of snaggly teeth. And then there are those monster rugs. It’s Dr. Seuss with a laudanum chaser. Their work could be best explained as fabric manipulation. There is a lot of attention to detail on these stuffed creatures that bristle with faux fur.

If you were looking for something distinctly less frightening to adorn your bedroom floor then nice rug offer tamer jute and sisal rugs. Although not quite as unique, at least no monsters were harmed!

UK based rug seller Nice Rug counters this propensity by offering a range of rugs made largely from absolutely natural and totally renewable materials. Jute and Sisal offer the endurance of comparable man-made products, but these rugs are also friendlier on the feet, easier on the eye, and light on the buyer’s conscience.

You don’t have to compromise on style either. With a selection of designs that use natural Jute and Sisal to create very different textures, weaves and colours, you are more than likely to find a rug that will compliment your interior design scheme, be it modern or traditional.

In both instances the materials Nice Rug use are from renewable sources. The production of these materials helps safeguard the local environment. Jute for instance is the most environment-friendly fibre starting from the seed to expired fibre, as the expired fibres can be recycled more than once.
