Collection: Living Room

The living room is where the rug has the most work to do. Living room rugs in Australia need to anchor furniture, define space, and withstand the daily demands of the busiest room in the home.

The larger jute rugs gathered here are the ones best suited to lounges and open-plan living, each handwoven from a hardwearing natural fibre. Because Zebra Home is Melbourne-designed and owned, the range is sized and styled for the way Australians live.

Getting the size right in a living room

A living room rug should be generous enough to sit under the front legs of your sofa and armchairs, which pulls the seating into a single, cohesive zone. For most lounges, that means a Large (240 x 300cm) or Extra Large (300 x 400cm) rug, both of which feature throughout this collection.

If you are unsure how a given size will sit in your room, comparing dimensions across the natural jute rugs for Australian homes range is a good way to picture the fit before you buy.

Natural texture that lives well

Jute brings an earthy, grounded quality that suits the relaxed Australian interior, and it is durable enough to take the traffic a living room dishes out. For a softer feel underfoot in a space where people lounge, and children play, wool-and-jute blend rugs add warmth without sacrificing the natural-fibre look.

Layering and styling

A large natural rug is the perfect base for layering. Add a textured throw, timber furniture, and woven baskets, and the room comes together with very little effort. To extend the look into adjoining hallways and entries, the jute and striped hallway runner rugs keep the flooring consistent across the open-plan zone.
