While larger rugs are often used to anchor living and dining spaces, smaller rugs, runners and mats bring warmth and texture to the spaces in between. From hallways and stair landings to beside the bed and cosy reading nooks, they're ideal for adding comfort underfoot while complementing the scale of smaller spaces.

Our handcrafted jute mats, runners and smaller rugs are designed for these everyday areas. Below, we're sharing some of our favourite ways to style them, on selecting the right style and size for different spaces.

Bedsides

For guest rooms and more compact bedrooms, a runner or smaller rug alongside the bed is often all that's needed to bring warmth and softness underfoot, creating a comfortable place to step each morning.

Reading Nooks & Home Offices

A smaller rug is an easy way to create a dedicated reading nook or home office that's both comfortable and inviting. Placed beneath an armchair or desk, it introduces natural texture while helping bring the space together.

Bathrooms

Ideal for powder rooms and bathroom vanities, a jute mat introduces natural texture while making hard flooring feel warmer underfoot. We recommend placing jute rugs in dry areas away from regular water exposure.

Entryways

Whether your front door opens into a hallway, foyer or living space, a handcrafted jute mat, runner or smaller rug helps define the transition into your home while protecting flooring in one of its busiest areas.

Kitchens & Laundries

Placed in front of the sink, kitchen island or laundry bench, a runner or mat provides comfort where you spend time standing. It's a simple way to soften hardworking spaces while introducing natural texture.

Hallways

From hallways and stair landings to the spaces that connect your home, mats, runners and smaller rugs soften high-traffic areas while helping create a natural sense of flow from one room to the next.

Choosing the Right Size

The right rug should complement the proportions of the space rather than dominate it.

• Jute Mats work beautifully in entryways, bathrooms, laundries and beside the bed.
• Runners are ideal for hallways, kitchens and other long, narrow spaces.
• Smaller round and rectangular rugs suit compact living areas, bedrooms, home offices, reading nooks and children’s rooms and nurseries where a full-sized rug isn't required.

Looking for a Different Shape or Size?

Many of our handcrafted jute rugs can be custom made to suit your space. Whether you need a specific size for a hallway or bedroom, or a rug for an unusually shaped room, we'd be happy to help create one that's just right for your home.
