The Top 4 Reasons People Opt for Handmade Natural Fiber vs. Synthetic Machine-made Rugs
If you've read the message on our homepage at www.naturalrugco.com, you'll know that we're a small business with a strong belief that style and sustainability go hand-in-hand, and that a rug is much more than something you walk on.
As the message says, not only does a natural fiber rug ground your space, it infuses it with color, pattern, texture, and most importantly, your unique personality.
In a world where there are many synthetic machine-made rugs to choose from, we, like our customers, strongly prefer handmade natural fiber rugs instead. Here are the main reasons why.
❤️ Craftsmanship
Handmade natural fiber area rugs are skillfully artisan-crafted, making each one truly one-of-a kind.
Synthetic mass-produced rugs, on the other hand, are uniform in appearance and lack the character and uniqueness of handmade natural fiber options.
🍃 Eco-friendliness
The fibers used to create handmade natural fiber are rugs are sustainably-sourced, biodegradable and renewable, making them an eco-friendly choice.
Synthetic machine-made rugs are made with petroleum-based materials that are not biodegradable.
🍎 Health Impact
Handmade natural fiber rugs have low or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and they are non-toxic, mite and mold-resistant, making them a healthy choice for your space.
Synthetic machine-made rugs may introduce potential VOCs and allergens into your space, and often synthetic rug production uses formaldehyde which can cause respiratory issues and skin irritation.
⭐️ Aesthetic Appeal
Handmade natural fiber area rugs are rich in texture and add organic warmth and artisanal charm to your space.
Synthetic machine-made rugs have a consistently smooth finish and are more appealing to consumers who value consistency over character.
