Scalloped Jute Rugs Are Having a Moment — I've Just Found the Best One Right Now With $50 Off

Since the summer is rapidly approaching, I'm keen on finding home decor that can freshen up my space and prepare me for the best season of the year. Of course, there are certain design elements that make a home feel more 'summer-oriented' — two of which are scallop trim and jute fabric. So when I saw this rug from Walmart that combined those two quintessentially summer details, I knew I had hit the jackpot.

From the subtle weave of the jute fabric to the white rectangular borders and undulating perimeter, this rug just oozes summertime style — and is somewhat reminiscent of the well-loved coastal grandmother trend. Now, you might think scallop edge is kind of a controversial and overly beach-themed trimming. And trust me, I hear you. "Scallops, once regarded as the pinnacle of playful decor, are earning a bad wrap — drawing comparisons to chevron and other hyper-millennial design sensibilities," Livingetc's Style Editor Julia Demer tells me. Scallop trim certainly isn't the most sought-after interior design trend at the moment.

However, Julia assures me that with the right styling, scallop trim can be a stunning addition to your home decor, and this scallop-trimmed jute rug is the perfect example of that. To nail the look, "keep the surrounding furniture sleek, contemporary, or better yet, organic — and avoid that manufactured kitsch we’ve grown tired of," Julia says. "An asymmetrical, raw-look wooden coffee table, for instance, echoes the movement of the rug’s scalloped edges without feeling overly contrived.”

With that in mind, I present to you Walmart's version of the scallop-trimmed jute rug that's tasteful, fresh, and inviting — the perfect rug to elevate your home decor for the summer season ahead.

As an added bonus, this rug is a Walmart bestseller, and has some pretty rave reviews. Consider this the rug you need to add some interest in your home this summer, through both texture and style.

Of course, looking at this scallop-trimmed jute rug sent me down a rabbit hole to find more styles that make the trim look chic and elegant. So below, take a look at three more options from Walmart that nail the summer style so tastefully. And remember, the best rugs shouldn't be a basic piece of filler decor. They should add something to your home, whether that be a fun texture or an alluring design. As for these scallop jute rugs, well, they'll do both.

While these rugs can be stylish additions to your home decor, the material can make them a hassle to clean. Read on to discover how to clean jute rugs to keep your home looking fresh, elegant, and dirt free.
