This 'Quiet Pattern' Jute Rug Is in All My Favorite Rooms Right Now — And I Just Found a Version for Less Than £200

Image of a beige living room with a stone fireplace in the center of the main wall. There are two modern, brown accent chairs on either side of the fireplace and a checkerboard, jute rug. One wall is open to an outdoor space and there is an ochre yellow curtain pulled to the side.

As someone who has been searching for a new rug ever since moving into my new rental a few months ago, I know exactly what a difference they make to a space (because mine is seriously lacking it right now). Whether fluffy wool or tight-woven jute, a bit of texture on the floor is that finishing touch that ties the room together.

But the reason so many of us struggle to find a style we like is because it needs to be something that is interesting enough to complement the space, but not so much so that it overpowers it. The best tip I've learned since being on the Livingetc team? When in doubt, go for natural materials. And in this case, go for John Lewis' Diamond Jute Rug.
