When it comes to Natural Flooring options, Sisal Rugs have always held a special place in my heart. As a design consultant at The Natural Rug Company, I've seen first-hand how these incredible plant-based fibres can transform a space, bringing both durability and style to any room.
Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through our Collection of Sisal Weaves. I want to highlight some of the ways that a Weave can dramatically change the look of a space, helping you find the perfect pattern for every corner of your home. By the end of this article, you'll have a great foundation of inspiration to draw from. Next time you have to choose a rug weave you'll know exactly where to start.
The key elements to consider, when weighing up your Sisal Weave decision are:
Texture - Organic texture abounds in all Sisal weaves, but it is most prevalent in the patterns that mix high and low areas.
Depth - The thicker and more luxurious the depth, the more visual interest is added to any interior scheme.
Colour - No matter what Sisal you select, there will be a range of colour options. Colour might move from calming beige and honey tones through to more unique and bespoke blues and blacks.
Pattern - With every weave having a signature pattern, this combines together all the other elements into a symphony of style.
All of these elements are present in all of our Natural Sisal offerings. It is the level of each that provides endless versitility.
At The Natural Rug Company, we've curated a diverse collection of Sisal weaves, each designed to cater to different aesthetic preferences and practical needs. Let's explore how these various weaves can enhance different spaces in your home, shall we?
Rooms Covered
Sisal Hallway Runners - Making the Perfect Entrance
Your entrance hall sets the tone for your entire home, so why not make it spectacular and add subtle design choices to invite the eye inside?
Grand Herringbone
Our Grand Herringbone is a personal favourite for entryways. Its classic chevron pattern never fails to provide a homely yet heritage ambience. The gentle zig-zag pattern works wonders to enhance and elongate your space, making even the smallest porch feel grand. Your guests will be greeted with a Runner that guides them inside, their eyes being drawn up in the direction of the chevron patterning.
Panama New Champagne
If you're after something with a touch of luxury, our Panama New Champagne is a perfect choice. Its warm wheat tones are interlocked for an Earth-inspired finish that doesn't compromise on design and innovation. It's incredibly robust, perfect for welcoming countless guests without losing its charm.
Why not match the accented threads in the weave to the accents existing in the Entrance Hall scheme? The blacks and browns are universally suitable, whilst the unexpected red might be just the ticket to dazzle.
Ogee
For those who appreciate architectural interest, our Ogee weave is a showstopper. Named after the ornate, S-shaped arches popular during the Venetian Gothic period, this pattern brings strength in its structure and softness in its lines. It's a conversation starter that's as durable as it is decorative. I always think of the Victorian tiles in grand homes, this is a great way of getting that style - without ripping up your existing tiles.
Sisal Rugs for Living Rooms & Sitting Rooms
The living room is where we spend most of our time, so it's crucial to get the flooring right. Why not treat your room to thicker and more luxurious designs?
Divine
For a cosy, rustic feel, I often recommend Divine. Its chunky texture cultivates a rural atmosphere that works beautifully in both country cottages and urban apartments alike. It's like bringing a piece of the countryside indoors - perfect for creating a soothing retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The looped threads have some spring in them that really makes walking on this flooring a cosy experience.
Grand Oriental
If you're after understated elegance, Grand Oriental is a fantastic choice. Much like a textured tile or rich leather sofa, this design brings style in the form of tactile substance. It's a favourite among seasoned designers who understand that a harmonious space is all about balance of texture. The patterning is neat and still visually intriguing.
Harmony Boucle
For those who aren't afraid of a bit of colour, Harmony Boucle is a game-changer. Dyed Sisal has really caught up in recent years. It is for people who love natural, but have a flair for the more bespoke and personalised of designs. It brings an electrifying energy to your space without compromising on that robust organic texture we love in sisal. It's an instant classic, suitable for both modern and period properties.
What Sisal Rug Is Best for Dining Rooms?
The dining room calls for something special - a weave that can withstand spills while still looking sophisticated.
Herringbone
Herringbone weave is a timeless example of style and substance. This elegant chevron design brings centuries-old interior inspiration with modern tones and textures. There's something decidedly upscale about a Herringbone pattern, used in suits and as well as other fabrics for centuries, making it perfect for creating a refined dining atmosphere. Match the rug pattern to run with the length of the table above it, to really make the most of the visual impact.
Small Boucle Classics
For a warm, inviting dining space, Small Boucle Classics is a winner. Available in Ginger and Bronze tones, it brings a hint of spicy warmth to your room. Perfect for family dinners and elegant soirées alike, these warm tones area perfect for the times of day when the most important meals occur. Long shadows of early evening and bright mornings will highlight its texture marvellously.
Studies & Offices - Which Sisal Weave Is Best?
Your workspace deserves a floor that inspires creativity and focus. When I'm writing an article, it always helps to have a visual tool to focus my mind. Where some people might use a familiar painting, I much prefer looking down at the Rug in my study. Like looking into a campfire, the intricate patterns energise my mind and keep me focused without being distracting.
Oriental
One of my personal favourites, our Oriental weave, is perfect for a study. Its tiger-eye design transports you to faraway lands, adding an element of exotic beauty to your workspace. It's a delightful blend of luxury and practicality.
Malawi
Named after the small African nation with the largest of hearts, Malawi creates a warm depth of texture with room-brightening highlights. Its natural palette provides a pleasing balance, perfect for a busy office area, soothing the senses and creating the perfect environment for concentration and creativity.
Natural Sisal Staircase Runners - Is Sisal Good for Stairs and Landings?
Stairs and landings see a lot of traffic, so durability is key here. I always consider these areas of the home quite liminal spaces. With that in mind, these weaves are calm, low depth and the most hard-wearing of the range.
Big Boucle Accents
Big Boucle Accents is a real investment piece, offering the perfect marriage of performance and style. Available in a range of colourways, it allows you the flexibly to fit this practical choice to your induvial style. Its looped sisal yarn creates a luxurious feel underfoot, while its durability makes it perfect for these high-traffic areas for many many years.
Small Boucle Accents
If you prefer a more subtle texture, Small Boucle Accents is an excellent choice with a smaller, tighter weave. It's stylish and sustainable, the hallmark of a conscious home. This flooring leaves no footprints or tell-tale signals of heavy use, perfect for busy staircases and landings. There is also a large range of colour options to keep your style top priority.
Sisal Flooring in Guest Rooms & Bedrooms - Is Sisal Suitable for Bedrooms?
Your bedroom should be a haven of tranquillity, and the right sisal weave can help create that calming atmosphere. Whether you opt for Runners down either side of your four poster, or for a single large statement Rug to signpost the sleeping area.... these two weaves are the stuff of dreams.
Harmony Herringbone
For those who like a bit of pattern in their bedroom, Harmony Herringbone offers a unique range of hues with unending natural elegance. It's perfect for creating an enchanting equilibrium in your personal space. Point the pattern along the length of the bed and you have given yourself a healthy subconscious reminder to yourself to get moving each morning and to return smoothly when the day is done. Good habits make for happy people.
Small Boucle 'C'
Small Boucle 'C' excels in subtle effortlessness. With a pale neutral shade and rich, inviting texture it fosters an aura of natural warmth and lived-in sophistication. It's the perfect foundation for creating your own sleep sanctuary. Particularly suited in large formats, it is sure to compliment any interior style.
Sisal Mats for Utility Rooms, Pantries and Boot Rooms
These hardworking spaces need flooring that can stand up to the challenge. You're not just walking in this area, but often carrying heavy items. In boot rooms especially, you want something that is hard-wearing and easy to upkeep.
Big Boucle Classics
Big Boucle Classics is perfect for those places where ordinary carpet just won't do. It's resilient, with all the strength and durability you can expect from a natural floor covering. Low depth to reduce snagging, a common issue with other flooring choices, this pattern will keep its form with ease.
Panama New Champagne
Once again, Panama New Champagne proves its versatility. Its robust construction makes it perfect for these heavy-use areas, while its warm, welcoming beige works perfectly alongside elements of stone and rustic wood often found in utility and boot rooms.
Will a Large Sisal Rug Work in Conservatories & Sunrooms?
These light-filled spaces call for Rugs and Runners that bridge the gap between indoors and out. These rooms are the best spaces for adding a Large Natural Sisal Rug. The beathability of Sisal makes it a great choice for keeping a sunroom cool in Summer and warm in Winter.
Malawi
Malawi's natural palette provides a pleasing balance to any space, making it ideal for conservatories. It pairs perfectly with other neutral hues and pops of earthy colour, providing an airy, organic ambience that complements the outdoor views. Choosing a lighter shade will limit the effects of bright sunshine.
Divine
Divine is another excellent choice for sunrooms and conservatories. Its chunky texture and rustic weave create a refreshing feeling of real nature, perfect for bridging your indoor and outdoor spaces. Thick and luxurious, it is a breath of fresh air underfoot.
