Anio Navy 5' x 7'6 Rug

Wool is a naturally hypoallergenic material and can actually improve indoor air quality. The structure of the wool fiber allows it to trap and hold common dust and allergens, preventing them from circulating in the "breathing zone" of the room. Regular vacuuming then removes these trapped particles from your home entirely. Since this rug is made of 100% New Zealand wool, it provides a natural, sustainable foundation that is ideal for bedrooms and nurseries.

A 5' x 7'6" rug is a highly versatile choice for urban apartments or smaller living spaces. Its dimensions are perfect for anchoring a seating area without making the room feel crowded. We recommend placing it under the coffee table to ground the space; for a balanced look, ensure the front legs of your sofa rest just on the edge of the rug to tie the furniture arrangement together and create a defined "zone" in an open-concept layout.

Yes, this rug is an excellent selection for families and pet owners. Wool is naturally stain-resistant and durable, while the braided, low-pile design (0.5" height) is much less prone to the snagging often caused by pet claws compared to looped or shag styles. Furthermore, the density of the wool makes it easier to vacuum up pet hair and debris, which tends to sit on the surface rather than becoming trapped deep within the fibers.

Some shedding is a perfectly normal characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs when they are first placed in a home. This occurs as loose fibers settle into the weave. Based on our expertise with natural textiles, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly without a beater bar during the first few months. This maintenance will help remove the loose fibers, and the shedding will typically subside as the rug "breaks in."

To preserve the natural beauty of the wool, regular vacuuming is the most important maintenance step. For accidental spills, our care guidelines recommend blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can push the liquid deeper into the fibers. You can spot clean using a mild detergent mixed with cool water. Because wool is a natural fiber, avoid using harsh chemicals or steam cleaners, which can strip the wool of its natural protective oils.

New Zealand wool is renowned for its exceptional strength and natural resilience. The fibers possess a natural, spiral-like crimp that acts like a miniature spring, allowing the rug to "bounce back" even after heavy daily foot traffic or the weight of furniture. This natural elasticity, combined with a dense braided construction, makes this rug a superior long-term investment compared to many synthetic alternatives that can flatten over time.
