Since we love black as an accent color and are using it liberally in our homes, it's no surprise that we independently ended up selecting black-bound sisal rugs from two different merchants, within 24 hours of each other. Erica's is from Home Decorator's Collection, and mine came from Ballard Designs.
Natural fiber rugs like sisal rugs are a designer staple. Made from Agave sisalina, which is found in Africa and Brazil, they add an organic element to every home. Sisal rugs are stronger and more durable than other natural fiber rugs; they are naturally stain resistant and supposed to be a breeze to clean -- all you need to do is vacuum the rug regularly or shake it out to remove any debris that might sneak in there. And, they are much less expensive than other area rug options out there.
