Sisal rugs, like this herringbone weave, offer myriad benefits: Woven from cactus fibers, they're highly durable, water-resistant, and stain-resistant, making them perfect for high-traffic areas, and they're great for absorbing sound. Rich in texture, they offer endless versatility: Use them alone to add warmth and texture to a space or layer them with antique rugs for an exotic look. A rug pad is recommended to keep this securely in place.
