Arcton Rose Gold 8' x 10' Rug

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that is highly effective at managing moisture compared to most synthetic alternatives. However, in high-humidity or coastal environments, it is important to maintain adequate airflow to prevent the natural fibers from holding excess moisture. We recommend regular vacuuming and occasionally rotating the rug to ensure even exposure to light and air, which helps preserve the integrity of the wool.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that serves as a strong foundation for a room. In a living room, it is large enough to anchor your seating area so that the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest comfortably on the rug. To achieve a professional, balanced look, we suggest following the "18-inch rule," which involves leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls to create a polished frame for the space.

Yes. This rug is hand-crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, which is naturally one of the most resilient fibers for home decor. Wool's inherent elasticity allows it to "spring back" after being stepped on, making it exceptionally durable for busy living spaces. Its dense, plush pile also acts as a natural sound-dampener, making it an excellent choice for reducing echo in urban apartments or open-concept homes.

Absolutely. This rug is specifically designed for high-traffic areas and active households. Wool contains natural lanolin, which provides a light, protective barrier that helps prevent spills from soaking immediately into the core fiber. Furthermore, the bold plaid pattern is effective at masking everyday wear. For best results, spot clean spills immediately with a mild detergent and cool water; do not place the rug in a washing machine.

While the integrated cotton backing on this rug helps prevent some sliding and shifting, we generally recommend using a quality rug pad on hard surfaces like hardwood or tile. A pad provides essential grip to keep the rug securely in place, adds an extra layer of plush cushioning, and protects your flooring from the friction of the rug’s underside in busy areas.

Some shedding is a normal characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is actually a sign of the natural fibers within. We recommend light vacuuming—ideally without a beater bar—during the first few months to manage loose fibers. Based on our material expertise, this shedding is common and will dissipate over time as the rug settles into your space with regular use.
