How do I apply the "18-inch rule" when placing a 5' x 7'6" rug?
The 18-inch rule is a professional decorating tip that suggests leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of your rug and the walls to create a balanced and intentional look. A 5' x 7'6" rug is a versatile size that is ideal for anchoring a small seating arrangement, placing under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, or defining a home office area.
What are the benefits of choosing a wool rug for my home?
This rug is hand-crafted in India using 100% New Zealand wool, a material renowned for its natural resilience, exceptional softness, and long-term durability. Because wool is a natural fiber, it offers a dense, plush texture underfoot that maintains its shape better than many synthetic alternatives, making it a premium and high-quality foundation for your living space.
Is this rug suitable for a busy household with pets and children?
Yes, this rug is specifically designed for high-traffic areas and active homes. Its dense wool construction is naturally durable and can withstand the wear and tear of daily life. Additionally, it features a cotton backing that helps prevent sliding and shifting, providing a more stable surface for children and pets to move across safely.
Does a plaid pattern work well in modern or contemporary interiors?
While plaid is a signature of rustic design, the dark gray and white color palette of this rug allows it to bridge the gap between classic and contemporary styles. The bold, elegant pattern acts as a grounded anchor that can add warmth and texture to a modern room, balancing the clean lines of contemporary furniture with a timeless, sophisticated print.
My new rug is shedding; is this normal?
Yes, some shedding is a natural and expected characteristic of high-quality wool rugs. It is simply excess fibers from the dense pile working their way out. Based on our expertise with this material, we recommend regular vacuuming to manage this process, and you will find that the shedding dissipates over time as the rug settles into your home.
How should I clean and maintain a wool rug?
To preserve the integrity of the New Zealand wool fibers, our care guide recommends regular vacuuming and immediate spot cleaning for the best results. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing. To prevent damage to the hand-crafted construction and cotton backing, this rug should never be placed in a washing machine.
