Sustainable, high-quality, made-to-last homewares that don’t cost a fortune? A new homewares brand is offering what sounded too good to be true not long ago: well-made textiles for every room in the house at a reasonable price point.
Urbanara’s timeless, trend-resistant rugs, bedding, towels, blankets, and table linens alike are made from the world’s finest eco-friendly, natural materials (like European linen, pure New Zealand lambswool, and 100 percent organic cotton) and made to last, sure to become heirlooms. The brand works directly with their manufacturers—in Portugal, Turkey, India, and Lithuania—to ensure quality and fair practices, and the direct-to-consumer structure ensures fair prices without the usual added markup, meaning you can invest in textural, high-quality goods without high price tags. The textiles are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, and the brand prioritizes sustainable and eco-friendly materials wherever possible, including in their Urbanara Terra collections, made with conscious processes and with untreated, fast-growing, and recycled PET materials.
Take a look at a few of our favorite textiles for adding organic texture to every room.

Above: Urbanara’s natural, high-quality offerings add a bit of warmth to every room—including the entryway, with a tone-on-tone Naya Jute Rug ($369 for the 5.5 x 7.8 size), made from a mix of jute, hemp, and wool. Above: Among the brand’s blankets and throws is the Anaba Blanket (at the top of the stack, $65). Shown in a combination of two hues—terra cotta and natural white—it’s woven from 100 percent cotton and finished with subtle fringe detailing, then stonewashed for a relaxed look. Above: A bath (or beach) essential: The Filiz Hammam Towel ($35) is handwoven in Turkey and features a classic broad blue and white stripe, among other patterns. Above: New, breathable Manteigas Bedding is made from 100 percent organic cotton; no pesticides or toxic substances are used in the production process. We particularly like the thoughtful small details: mother-of-pearl buttons on the duvet cover closure and neat envelope folds on the pillowcases. It’s available in three colors: white, dark grey-blue, and charcoal ($139 for a full/queen duvet cover and $49 per pillowcase). Above: A stack of the brand’s soft, textural blankets and throws in neutral, warm hues. Above: Among the rug offerings is the Ravi Wool Rug (shown here in grey melange, $589 for the 5.5 x 7.8 size). Each rug is handmade by two expert weavers in India using pure wool from four sheep and takes three to four days to complete. Above: The Filiz Hammam Towel in dark blue and white (center, $35) and the Cesme Hammam Towel in black and white (right, $35) are just two of the 100 percent cotton fringed towels on offer. Above: Urbanara’s neutral, timeless rug add natural texture to any space. We particularly like the Nattika Doormat ($39), woven in a unique combination of leather, jute, and cotton, an ideal accompaniment for the front door.
