Sisal Blend Rugs & Carpet

Weave together alternating strands of sisal and wool or sisal and coir and you have a sisal-blend rug or carpet. Combining two different fibers means greater design flexibility, comfort, and structural integrity. Most of our sisal-blend weaves are a combination of sisal and wool, two fibers that complement each other beautifully in both colorways and fiber attributes.

Our sisal-blend weaves are available for wall-to-wall installation or for creating your own custom area rug.

What Size Rug Do I Need? is a great resource if you are having trouble deciding what size area rug you need.

First, the color and textural contrast created when two or more fibers are woven together opens up all kinds of pattern and design possibilities. The woven pattern is defined and highlighted by the interplay of the different fibers. Sisal-blend weaves provide more variety if you are looking for pattern play or textural depth in your flooring.

Also, indoor comfort is improved with sisal and wool blends. Both wool and sisal fibers are non-toxic, natural fibers that will positively impact indoor air quality. The coziness of wool insulates floors and cushions feet. And the durability of these fibers means a sisal-blend rug or carpet won’t compress with heavy traffic or furniture and will last for years.

Regular vacuuming, a walk-off mat upon entry to your home, and a “no shoes in the house” policy will all help prolong the life of a sisal-blend rug.

The addition of stain-resistant wool helps with the overall maintenance of a sisal blend, but sisal can stain easily so quick attention to spills and stains is still important. For added protection, apply a spray-on sealant that creates a barrier and reduces the rate at which natural sisal absorbs liquid or spills. All of our weaves come with guidelines for care and maintenance that are accessible under the Care tab on each weave page. For more general care guidelines, please visit our Care Guides page.

Sisal and wool are renewable, biodegradable fibers that offer a naturally beautiful alternative to synthetic flooring. At the end of their life cycle, they can return to the earth more naturally than many synthetic materials.

Since the blend of different fibers creates different design options, finding one to match your style will be no problem. Grand, geometric weaves with chain link or diamond patterns, like Cosmos or Stellar, work well with tried and true traditional or modern farmhouse design styles. Elegant, subtle stripes or a herringbone pattern, as seen in our Gillingham weaves, round out transitional decors and ground minimalist spaces. For a Bohemian style, these chunky blends are perfect as a foundation for layering accent rugs.

Natural fiber rugs and carpet are highly absorbent and may not fare well in areas that are likely to get wet, like kitchens, bathrooms or outdoor spaces. If you want the natural fiber look but without the worry of staining, browse our selection of stain-resistant sisals or our exclusive SynSisal® collection of synthetic sisals.
