Many readers have asked for a regular “find of the week,” and our first pick is a small treasure we recently added to the third bedroom: a cozy jute rug sourced from the clearance section at The Company Store. The Newport Stripe Jute Rug caught our eye for its simple, charming stripes and an irresistible price—half off—making it an easy choice for the space. It complements the room beautifully, especially next to the even more textured water hyacinth ottoman.
The rug we chose is a 4×6-foot size and cost just $43 at the time we purchased it. Beyond the attractive price, one of the main things we love about this rug is the use of natural fibers. Unlike many mass-produced area rugs that rely on adhesives, chemical finishes, and synthetic dyes, this jute rug uses 100% natural materials, which means less concern about off-gassing—an important consideration for a room that will eventually become a nursery. Choosing natural, low-emission furnishings makes it easier to maintain healthier indoor air and creates a more comfortable, welcoming environment for everyone.
For anyone considering a jute rug, here are a few practical reasons we recommend the style: jute’s texture adds visual warmth and tactile interest, it layers well with other woven or natural elements, and it tends to hide light wear and telltale marks better than smoother, synthetic surfaces. In our small bedroom, the striped pattern provides just enough contrast to define the floor area while still keeping the overall palette calm. The material pairs especially well with woven ottomans, wicker pieces, and linens, allowing the room to feel cohesive and intentionally curated.
The Company Store has become a go-to source for bedding and home accents, and for anyone who hasn’t explored their selection recently, it’s worth another look. While I once assumed their pieces skewed pricey, I’ve found that sales and clearance often yield excellent values. This jute rug is a perfect example: a classic, natural piece with strong visual appeal and a budget-friendly tag.
We plan to continue featuring weekly finds that balance design, quality, and affordability. Not all of these picks will necessarily come from our own home, but each will reflect a focus on items that elevate a room without breaking the bank. Our aim is to highlight accessible pieces that offer real design impact—little upgrades that make a room feel pulled together, comfortable, and thoughtfully styled.
If you decide to bring one of our weekly finds into your home, we’d love to see how you use it. Please consider sharing a photo or two of the item in your space; seeing these pieces in different homes always sparks new ideas and demonstrates how versatile a single purchase can be. We’ll keep hunting for stylish, sensible steals and reporting back with concise picks that are easy to shop for and even easier to love.
