One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to update a room is with a beautiful new rug. There are many choices in materials for rugs, but one of our favorite materials for rugs has been and will continue to be is cotton. 

Rugs made of natural cotton are perfect for a causal beach house.  Cotton rugs are made purely from cotton plants and environmentally friendly, thus making them the perfect Beachy Rug.  If  you want a natural fiber rug that is allergen free, instead of synthetic or wool, cotton is a great choice. Cotton is a breathable material and it feels wonderful under your feet.

Cotton Rugs are soft, fluffy and provides warmth.  They are also durable, inexpensive and easy to clean. 

They are often reversible and lay completely flat. 

Beach House Rugs have been made of cotton as a favorite material since our grandmothers used to shake them out on the back porch. 

How to Chose The Best Cotton Rug

Selecting the Best Cotton Rug for your beach house needn't be complicated. Cotton Rugs come in a variety of patterns and colors, so how do you choose the best cotton rug for your room?

Well, first consider the use of the room. If its a higher traffic space, choose a cotton rug that has a lot of pattern and color so that it's more forgiving and doesn't show dirt easily. If it's a bedroom you can usually go with something a little lighter in color.

Next, consider the style of the rug. Most cotton rugs have a beach-casual vibe to them and any will work in any coastal home - simply pick your rug!

We love the cotton rag rug styles because they give the room a relaxed, feeling of nastalgia. A striped cotton rugs give a room a very nautical atmosphere.

Ginghams and smaller patterns tend to offer a more coastal cottage-like vibe, which is perfect for a bungalow by the sea or any room that you want to add that coastal charm of a New England beach house.
