"Natural materials are patient and adaptable, while they speak of time and transience." Jonas Bjerre-Poulson, Livingetc

"My favorite is wool..because its long-lasting natural fibers are durable and forgiving of stains." - Clara Song, Interior Collab.
"Natural fiber rugs are popular in residential settings because they are incredibly durable while also being smart, chic and timeless." - Ariel Okin, Mansion Global
"Finding a one-of-a-kind handmade rug, as opposed to one that is mass-produced, brings incomparable value and authenticity to an interior." - Kati Curtis, Kati Kurtis Design
"Pure jute, wool and linen have inherent life and warmth, and feel instantly and subconsciously grounding." Jodie Fried, The Interiors Addict
"The best rug options for living rooms with dogs and cats are made from durable, easy-clean materials like wool, natural fibers or even recycled PET...If they're made from synthetic fibers, they're far less forgiving." Lexie Saine, Livingetc.
