Safavieh Natura Rug vs Safavieh Brentwood Rug

Buy the Natura if you want a handmade wool rug with a soft, textured feel and a neutral solid color that hides traffic wear. Buy the Brentwood if you need stain resistance and easy cleaning in a busy room, or want a patterned blue-gray abstract look. The Natura scores higher with owners (4.7 vs 4.4) and is the more durable, longer-lived piece, but its loop pile and wool care are less forgiving. The Brentwood is the practical pick for kids, pets and spills.

• Choose the Natura if you want a hand-woven wool runner in a quiet solid beige for a hallway, bedside or narrow space.
• Choose the Brentwood if you want a stain-resistant, easy-care synthetic rug with an abstract blue-gray pattern for a high-traffic room.
