For irresistible texture and superior strength, look no further than sisal carpet. Plant-based and organic, sisal carpet is created from the tough fibres of an agave plant. Native to South America, sisal grows quickly in poor conditions without the need for chemical fertilisers, making it a highly renewable resource. A desert dweller by nature, it can be cultivated with little water, further boosting its sustainability credentials.Â
In terms of aesthetics, sisal carpet is suggestive of its southern background, evoking a sense of the exotic with a rich tapestry of rustic texture. Ideal for bringing balance to blank walls and accenting neutral schemes, sisal weaves offer a level of structural visual interest you won’t find in a traditional carpet.Â
Robust fibres are woven together in a variety of different ways for unchallenged durability, ideal for the heavily weathered areas of your home such as the hallways and stairs. Herringbone styles marry the natural appeal of sisal with a heritage finish, while boucle brings a timelessly versatile look. You’ll also find more intricate and unusual designs from brightly coloured wefts to a tropical tiger’s eye weave, with something for every design style.Â
