Ahnika Blue 3' x 5' Rug

A handmade rug offers a level of character and structural integrity that mass-produced items cannot replicate. Each piece in this collection is crafted by master craftsmen, resulting in a rich tactile appeal and slight, unique variations that give the rug a "timeless character." Beyond aesthetics, handmade rugs are often more durable because the individual fibers are secured with greater precision, helping the rug retain its shape and beauty over years of use.

Yes. Wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers used in furniture today, known for its ability to "bounce back" after being compressed by foot traffic or furniture. This rug is hand-crafted from a soft blended wool that naturally contains lanolin, a protective coating that makes the fibers inherently soil-resistant. Its dense, handmade construction ensures it remains a durable and long-lasting centerpiece even in high-traffic areas.

Based on our expert care recommendations, you should vacuum your wool rug regularly to remove dust and debris; however, it is important to avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar, as this can agitate and damage the natural fibers. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent mixed with cool water. To preserve the rug's "rich colors" and integrity, we recommend professional cleaning for deep maintenance rather than using harsh chemicals or steam cleaners.

A 3' x 5' rug is a highly versatile size, perfect for adding warmth and definition to smaller transitional spaces. It is ideally scaled for an entryway or foyer to make a strong first impression, or as a bedside accent to provide a soft landing for your feet. In a home office or a "condo-sized" living space, this rug can be used to ground a small reading nook or placed under a coffee table to anchor a compact seating arrangement.

Some initial shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs. This occurs as small, loose fibers work their way to the surface after the weaving process. This is not a defect but rather a sign of the rug's authentic natural material. Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) during the first few months will significantly reduce shedding as the fibers settle into the rug’s foundation.

This rug features a pattern inspired by Native American art and textiles, making it an excellent focal point for rustic, bohemian, or contemporary "Southwestern" decors. The blue, brown, and tan color palette is grounded in earth tones, which pair beautifully with leather sofas, natural wood coffee tables, and terracotta accents. To create a balanced look, we recommend using this bold geometric pattern to contrast against neutral-colored furniture or to complement a room with other natural textures like woven baskets and indoor greenery.
