Choosing a Natural Rug or Carpet
Sisal
Sisal is hardwearing, anti-static, dyes very well and its smoother pile male it appear more sophisticated than other natural floorcoverings. Sisal carpet lends itself to use on stairs, wall-to-wall installations, and for mats where its texture works well with borders. It is probably the best natural fiber to us in bedrooms. Sisal rugs or Sisal carpet are usually the most expensive natural floor covering.
Sisal is woven into a variety of simple patterns, which can look subtle or strongly textured, depending on the weight of the yarn. Unlike other natural floor covering, sisal rugs can be dyed in strands, before being spun, so the woven floor covering can be solid-colored or multicolored. Different colors can also be spun into a single yarn to give the finished product a subtly colored, metallic quality. It is possible to paint sisal carpet quite successfully; borders and allover patterns can be applied either before or after the material is installed. It is a durable yet gentle material, which can be used for most situations.
