Aldina Gray 8' x 10' Rug

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that works beautifully in larger bedrooms. For a queen-sized bed, this rug provides a generous 30-inch border on either side, creating a soft landing for your feet. For a king-sized bed, it should be positioned under the lower two-thirds of the bed to ensure it peeks out from the sides and foot, anchoring the sleeping area and balancing the room’s proportions.

To preserve the vibrant gray and ivory tones, our care guide recommends immediate action for spills: blot (do not rub) the area with a clean, dry cloth to soak up moisture. If needed, use a small amount of mild detergent and cool water for spot cleaning. Because this is a machine-made wool piece, we recommend a professional cleaning every 1-2 years to deep-clean the fibers and maintain the rug's longevity.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient and durable natural fibers available, making this rug an excellent choice for busy areas. Wool fibers possess a natural elasticity that allows them to "spring back" after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, maintaining the rug's plush texture and integrity over time. Additionally, wool contains a light natural coating of lanolin, which provides a built-in level of soil and stain resistance.

Wool is a unique, "breathable" fiber that naturally helps regulate a room's environment. In drier climates, wool can actually help manage humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture vapor. While it is naturally mold and mildew resistant, it is best suited for indoor, climate-controlled environments. Its classic floral pattern and neutral gray palette make it a "transitional" staple that can easily adapt as your local decor trends evolve.

Shedding is a normal characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and typically subsides after several months. Based on our material expertise, we recommend vacuuming this rug regularly—at least twice a week—using a vacuum without a beater bar or with the bar set to the highest carpet setting. This helps remove loose fibers without damaging the yarn's structure.

This rug is an ideal solution for urban living. The dense wool construction provides excellent natural sound insulation, helping to dampen noise between floors. For apartment dwellers, we recommend pairing this rectangular rug with a quality rug pad; this not only prevents the rug from slipping on hardwood but also adds an extra layer of cushioning and protects the floor's finish.
