Coir Herringbone Rugs & Runners

Coir Herringbone Rugs & Runners – Natural Strength, Timeless Texture

Introduce grounded, natural texture into your home with Coir Herringbone — a made-to-measure rug or runner crafted from 100% organic coconut fibre. With its classic zigzag weave and earthy golden-brown tones, this design offers a refined balance of rustic character and high-performance durability, ideal for South African homes that demand both practicality and style.

Finished to your exact dimensions and supported by a natural latex backing for added grip, Coir Herringbone is perfectly suited to high-use areas such as entrances, passageways, kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces — anywhere you need a hard-wearing floor covering that still looks considered and design-led.

What Is Coir? A Naturally Resilient Coconut Fibre

Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconuts. This process is rooted in traditional craft: the husks are soaked (retted), then beaten, washed, dried, and spun into strong yarns before being woven into durable flooring textiles.

Unlike synthetic alternatives, coir is:

• Biodegradable and renewable

• Naturally resistant to rot and mould

• Well-suited to humid spaces

• Exceptionally tough and long-lasting

• Free from artificial fibres and harsh chemical coatings

Coir’s natural colour ranges from warm gold to deeper reddish-browns, creating an organic, earthy base that works beautifully with stone, tile, timber, or concrete floors.

Herringbone Weave – Structured, Textural, and Design-Forward

The herringbone weave elevates coir’s raw strength with a timeless geometric pattern that feels both classic and contemporary. The subtle zigzag layout creates visual movement and structure, adding depth to narrow spaces such as hallways and passages while bringing a tailored look to larger areas like kitchens and open-plan interiors.

This weave is especially valued for:

• A more refined appearance than plain weaves

• Added definition and rhythm across the floor

• Texture that naturally hides dirt and wear

• A design that suits rustic, coastal, farmhouse, and modern organic interiors

Made to Measure – Tailored to Your Space

Every Coir Herringbone rug or runner is cut to order, allowing you to achieve a precise fit — whether you are dressing a long passage, shaping a kitchen runner, or creating a custom rug for a busy utility area.

For a more finished look, optional edging can be applied to complement your space and improve longevity. This allows you to match your runner to your interiors or introduce contrast for a more defined border.

Suitable Applications

Thanks to coir’s resilience, latex backing, and moisture tolerance, Coir Herringbone is ideal for:

• Entrance halls and entryways – durable and welcoming

• Hallways and passages – hard-wearing and visually elongating

• Kitchens and sculleries – practical, washable, and robust

• Bathrooms and guest loos – naturally moisture resistant

• Utility rooms and mudrooms – designed to cope with daily use

Coir is a naturally firm fibre, chosen for durability and performance rather than plush softness — making it ideal for functional spaces where longevity matters.

Care & Maintenance – Care Guide

Coir is one of the easiest natural fibres to live with, especially in busy homes.

Care instructions:

• Vacuum regularly to remove surface dust and debris

• Shake out smaller rugs outdoors when needed

• For deeper cleaning, rinse with water and air-dry thoroughly

• Avoid leaving the rug in consistently wet conditions

• Allow the fibre to dry fully after washing to maintain freshness

Thanks to its coarse texture and natural colour variation, coir is excellent at masking everyday dirt, making it a smart option for high-traffic areas.

Natural Variation – A Mark of Authentic Fibre

As with all plant-based floor coverings, Coir Herringbone will show natural character. Slight tonal shifts, texture irregularities, and subtle weave variation are part of what makes coir beautiful — each piece is shaped by nature and finished with a human hand.

These variations are not defects, but the signature of an authentic, natural material.

A Practical, Sustainable Decor Choice

Coir is among the most environmentally responsible fibres available. It is made from a by-product of coconut harvesting, requires minimal processing, and is fully biodegradable at end of life. With its long lifespan and water-washable practicality, Coir Herringbone is a flooring choice that supports both sustainable living and everyday performance.
