Straw Rug: From East to West

Here in Brazil, we are accustomed to linking straw rugs with coastal environments. But it used to be different.

Straw rugs originate from Japan and were originally called tatami.

This type of rug, also widely found in Buddhist temples, was initially made from a rectangular mattress and filled with rice straw.

Today, however, straw rugs have many new versions made from various types of natural straw such as reed or even synthetic straw that can be handcrafted or produced on a large production line.

The function of the straw rug has also changed over time. Previously used for martial arts, meditation and as a support during meals, today's straw rugs are designed to decorate spaces with charm and beauty regardless of their function.

One Rug, Many Styles

As you already know, straw rugs are not only suitable for coastal decoration. This type of rug can be incorporated into various interior styles.

It all depends on how you place other elements and especially colors next to them.

Starting with that, we couldn't help but mention that straw rugs look stunning in eastern design. In this case, low furniture almost at floor level, bamboo and neutral tones complete the scene.

If you prefer modern furniture in a minimalist style, you can choose additional comfort with a straw rug and add some variety to the monotony of your environment.

More eccentric choices go for boho aesthetics, investing in earthy tones and natural elements together with straw rugs.

There is also room for classic styles next to straw rugs. In this case, the advice is to combine this element with neutral and light colors such as white and beige shades, as well as noble materials like wood.
