If you haven’t gotten caught up with the increasing trend of abaca rugs, then today you will.  Ideal for coastal design, we can see this natural-fiber rug in urban homes as well as in country homes nowadays.  Abaca also called Musa, or Manila Hemp comes from an inedible banana plant that grows in the Philippines.  The very versatile plant can be used for everything from plates to paper to roofing.  The fibers of this plant are super durable and strong, making them thicker, but also softer than sisal, making them super cozy and elegant as well.
