Jute carpet and rug price in Bangladesh 2026: what each size costs

How much does a jute rug cost in Bangladesh?

In October 2026, a 3x5 ft jute rug cost ৳1,790 to ৳5,485, a 4x6 ft rug ৳2,850 to ৳8,995, and a 5x7 or 5x8 ft rug ৳5,950 to ৳12,995. Jute door mats cost ৳340 to ৳750. For most drawing rooms the best value is a plain, flat-woven 4x6 ft rug at ৳120 to ৳190 a square foot. Pay hand-braided prices, roughly double, only for a rug you want people to notice.

Jute rug and carpet prices by size (October 2026)

These are the prices you would have paid on the websites of 13 Bangladeshi sellers between 29 and 31 October 2026, about 60 listings in all. Most showed a sale price next to a crossed-out "regular" one. Only one seller listed a 6x9 ft jute rug, so for a large room, ask a maker to weave your size to order.

How much is a jute door mat (পাটের পাপোশ)?

Between ৳340 and ৳750 for a handmade jute door mat of about 15x24 to 20x30 inches. Two makers listed a 17x25 in and an 18x28 in mat at ৳450 each. A larger 2.5 ft jute floor mat cost ৳1,060 on BSCIC's online market, plus ৳160 for delivery.

A door mat is the best way to try jute. It's cheap, coarse enough to scrape shoes clean, and it gets wet and dirty by design, so replace it once it frays rather than trying to wash it.

Why can two 4x6 ft jute rugs cost ৳2,850 and ৳8,995?

Mostly because of how they're made, and by whom.

• Flat-woven or hand-braided. Flat-woven jute rugs, woven on a loom, cost about ৳120 to ৳190 per square foot. Beni Boonon's hand-braided rugs, where jute is plaited into a long braid and stitched into shape, cost about ৳250 to ৳375 per square foot. Simpler braided rounds from other sellers cost much less, about ৳95 to ৳140, so the maker matters as much as the method.
• Pattern and colour. A patterned or dyed rug costs more than a plain natural one. At Beni Boonon, a plain braided 5x7 ft rectangle cost ৳8,995 and a patterned one ৳12,995.
• Blends. Aarong sold a 3x5 ft wool-and-jute carpet for ৳4,088. Wool-jute and cotton-jute blends feel softer than pure jute.
• Shape. Ovals and rounds often cost less than rectangles of a similar size, because they use less material.
• Sale prices. Compare what you'd actually pay, not the crossed-out price.

To compare any two rugs, divide the price by the area in square feet. A 4x6 ft rug is 24 square feet, so ৳4,800 works out to ৳200 a square foot.

Where can you buy a jute rug in Dhaka?

Mostly online, from small Bangladeshi makers who deliver across the country.

• Maker brands: Beni Boonon (hand-braided, patterned), Baah (also sold through Rokomari), Artisan Bangla, Boyon Bitan, Aljut and Jutex.
• Craft brands: Aarong for wool-jute blends, plus Kaaruj and BeshiDeshi.
• Government channel: BSCIC's online market, where small producers list directly.

Buy from a maker brand when the size matters, because several weave to order. Before you pay, ask three things: the exact size in feet, whether it's pure jute or a blend, and the delivery charge. A large rug is heavy, and some couriers charge by weight.

Are jute rugs good? Pros and cons

Good for dry rooms, bad for wet ones.

Pros:

• Cheap per square foot, especially flat-woven jute.
• Strong and hard-wearing in rooms with normal foot traffic.
• Natural and biodegradable, and made in Bangladesh.
• Cool and dry underfoot, which suits a drawing room or bedroom in summer.

Cons:

• Water stains it. Jute rugs shouldn't get wet: water releases oils that turn the fibre brown.
• Damp brings mould. Moisture and warmth make jute prone to mould and mildew.
• It sheds, especially when new.
• It's coarse. Jute feels rougher than cotton or wool, so it's not the softest choice for sitting on the floor.
• Claws and spills. Jute traps odours, soaks up accidents and frays under pet claws.

Some sellers describe jute as mould-resistant. Rug-care specialists such as Curran say the opposite, so plan for damp.

Are jute rugs good with children and pets?

With care. Jute is firm and doesn't slip much on a rug pad, so it works in a play corner, but its texture is rougher on skin than cotton. With a dog or cat, jute isn't ideal: it absorbs accidents and frays under claws. Choose a flat-woven rug you can afford to replace, or a cotton-jute blend.

Where should you put a jute rug in a Bangladeshi home?

Somewhere that stays dry, all year.

• Good places: the drawing room, a bedroom, under the bed's foot end, or under a dining table on a dry floor.
• Places to avoid: bathrooms, kitchens near the sink, balconies that catch rain, and under potted plants.
• On tiles: use a rug pad. It stops slipping and lets air reach the underside.
• In the monsoon: lift and air the rug on a dry day, and never lay it on a floor that was just mopped.

How do you clean a jute rug?

Dry, as far as possible.

• Vacuum regularly with strong suction but without a beater bar.
• Shake small rugs outside to remove grit.
• Blot spills at once with a dry cloth. Don't rub.
• Use as little water as possible on a stain, then dry the spot fast with a fan.
• Never soak, shampoo or steam-clean a jute rug.

What is a jute carpet?

A carpet or rug woven or braided from jute, the coarse, strong, golden-brown plant fibre Bangladeshis call the golden fibre, sonali ansh. It's biodegradable and needs no synthetic material.

Bangladesh grew about 1.51 million of the world's 2.97 million tonnes of jute fibre in 2021-22 (FAO, preliminary), about half, and in fiscal 2025-26 exported about $884 million of jute and jute goods. Jute carpet was once one of the three main products of Bangladesh's jute mills, alongside hessian and sacking, but it lost ground to cheaper synthetic carpets. Today most jute rugs here come from small workshops and artisans, which is why the price range is so wide.
