At Jute, we create grounded, beautifully comfortable spaces
We craft one of a kind, welcoming spaces- rooted in wellness. Mindful layering, a connection to nature and artisanal techniques together create clean air quality without sacrificing aesthetics. Our design methods involve emphasizing natural light, incorporating natural materials and layering one-of-a-kind pieces to create elevated environments grounded in nature.
In projects ranging from Carmel seaside escapes to San Francisco family homes to Sonoma County wineries, we aim for an approachable feel, fusing the character and sustainability of antique furnishings with the understanding of how people inhabit a space. Specializing in new builds and remodels, every aspect is carefully considered to create a healthy atmosphere that’s breathable, comfortable, and functional. The result: customized, harmonious spaces tailored to fit your lifestyle and optimized for your well-being.
