Ahnika Red 3' x 5' Rug

Like most high-quality wool floor coverings, rugs in this collection may experience some initial shedding. This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers and is not a defect. Based on our expertise with this material, we recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting or a high pile height adjustment. This helps manage the shedding over time without compromising the integrity of the hand-crafted fibers.

To protect the vibrant red dyes and geometric patterns of the wool blend, our care guide recommends blotting—never rubbing—spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with cool water. It is important to avoid hot water or harsh chemicals, as these can damage natural wool fibers and cause the colors to fade or bleed.

This rug is handmade by master craftsmen, a hallmark of superior construction that ensures unique character and long-term durability. Unlike mass-produced machine-made alternatives, the hand-crafted nature and use of a soft wool blend provide a rich tactile appeal and a resilient structure. These rugs are specifically designed to offer a balance of "timeless character" and everyday durability.

While inspired by traditional Native American art, the clean lines of this geometric pattern allow the rug to transition beautifully into modern or transitional decors. The rich red tones can serve as a vibrant focal point in a neutral-colored room. To create a cohesive look, try pairing the rug with sleek metal accents or modern furniture; the "tactile appeal" of the wool adds a layer of warmth and sophistication to even the most contemporary spaces.

A 3' x 5' rug is a highly versatile "accent" size, making it an ideal choice for compact living spaces like urban apartments or condos. Its rectangle shape fits perfectly in narrow entryways, beside a bed for a soft landing, or under a desk in a home office. This size allows you to introduce a bold Southwestern aesthetic and define a specific zone without overwhelming a smaller room's floor plan.

Wool is a naturally resilient material, making it an excellent choice for households with pets. The dense, handmade weave of this rug helps prevent pet hair from weaving deep into the fibers, which simplifies cleanup with a vacuum. Additionally, wool's natural elasticity allows it to bounce back from the pressure of foot traffic and paws, ensuring it maintains its shape and "luxurious comfort" even in active areas of the home.
