The use of jute has a deep association with Indian textiles, dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and is used to make a variety of household items, including rugs and carpets. Cultivated from the bast of the jute plant, there are certain variations of the “golden fibre," like white jute, tossa jute, burlap and hessian. There is mention of jute in the ancient book Ain-e-Akbari from the end of the 15th century. In the book, it is mentioned how jute clothing was worn by poor people in India and used for mainly simple and humble things. On the other hand, Sisal is extracted from the sisal plant native to Mexico and Spain and is a strong and coarse fibre widely used for making rope, twine, paper, hats and different types of upholstery.
Even though both jute rugs and sisal rugs have been there, more or less since the beginning of civilisation, their historical context has always been that of a humble item, and it is much less talked about. During the 1970s, jute and sisal rugs were quite popular for defining the nomadic, gipsy and “hippie” aesthetic styles, which were quite iconic at the time. Recently, the versatile charisma of the natural fibre textile has gained much traction in the rug industry as a sustainable item.
Jute and sisal are two different materials; however, in the rug industry, they fall into similar categories since their characteristics are quite identical. While the main difference between jute and sisal is that they are harvested from different species of plants, sisal is even tougher and courser than jute, and jute is smoother and softer than sisal. Rugshop’s jute and sisal rugs collection features a wide range of styles, shapes, themes and artisan elements. Below are some of the most popular selections from our catalogue:
Think of earthy and nature-inspired concepts with subtle, muted colour schemes and high resilience suitable for outdoor environments. These are some of the vital characteristics that define the aesthetic type and functionality of jute and sisal carpets. Several notable interior designers have utilised the rustic and down-to-earth aspect of these floor coverings to create casual, homely spaces. While mostly used in casual and informal spaces and quite typical for placing in gardens, porches and decks, natural fibre rugs are now making their way into formal settings such as offices, meeting rooms, business hotels and formal dining setups. Below are some of the most successful design and decor ideas for living spaces that can specifically work wonders when you use a natural fibre rug.

Measure the total area of your porch, yard or deck, then subtract space for walkways and furniture. That's the common way to pick a rug size for an outdoor area. If you still can't decide, you can connect with us and ask for expert advice on picking the right size. If you're unsure which size to choose, you can view our rug size guide or get in touch with us for advice.
It depends on the material, amount of usage and amount of exposure to rain, sunlight, and other outdoor conditions. Synthetic rugs tend to be more of a utilitarian choice for exposed areas, while natural-fibre rugs like jute and sisal are better for covered areas. You can also make a rug last longer by keeping it clean and allowing it to dry properly.
Yes. An outdoor rug is an easy way to make a patio, balcony, or decking area feel more finished and comfortable. It can also add colour and pattern to an otherwise plain outdoor area. However, with Ireland’s often rainy weather, it is important to choose a rug made for outdoor use and allow it to dry out when it gets wet.
For an exposed patio or decking area, synthetic rugs such as polypropylene and polyester are practical options. They are generally easy to clean and cope well with occasional exposure to moisture. If your outdoor area is covered, you have more choice, including natural-fibre rugs such as jute and sisal. Think about how much rain the area receives before choosing the material.
Yes, we have a wide stock of outdoor washable rugs for sale in Ireland, including some made from nylon and polyester. Every rug comes with its own cleaning method, so please be sure to check the care instructions before washing. Some can be machine washed, whilst some are best hand washed or rinsed outdoors.
Not always, but a nice outdoor rug pad can help keep your rug in place, especially on slick surfaces. If you are going to use a pad outside, make sure it is a pad meant for outdoor use and will not hold water under the rug. Do not use absorbent underlays in areas that are exposed to a lot of rain, as these will stay wet for longer periods.
Polypropylene is a popular choice for outdoor rugs in Ireland, as it is moisture-resistant, easy to clean and dries relatively quickly after rain. Other synthetic materials, like recycled PET, can also be good options, depending on the construction of the rug. Jute and sisal are more absorbent natural fibres, so they are better suited to covered patios, porches, and other sheltered areas during wetter months.
Your outdoor and indoor rugs don't have to match exactly. Instead, look for colours, patterns or textures that work well together. For example, you could pick out one colour from your indoor rug and use it in the outdoor rug, or choose two designs with a similar style. This creates a more connected look as you move from the entrance into the outdoor area.
Outdoor rugs do not have a single price; they have a range of prices. The price is determined by the size, material, design and construction. If you are looking for smaller options for compact areas or bigger rugs for patios, decking and outdoor seating areas, you will find them at Rugshop. Knowing your budget will help you choose the right size and material without going over budget.
Start with where you plan to use it. An uncovered patio that gets a lot of rain will need a different type of rug from a sheltered porch. Think about the material, size, amount of foot traffic and how easy the rug will be to clean. For outdoor spaces in Ireland, choosing a rug that handles moisture well and can dry properly after rain is particularly important.
