Artitz Black 3'6 x 5'6 Rug

To maintain the beauty of this natural fiber blend, we recommend regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, as this protects the delicate hand-loomed loops. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Our expert care guidelines suggest using cool water and a very mild detergent for spot cleaning, being careful not to over-saturate the fibers, as viscose is particularly sensitive to moisture.

Because this rug is crafted with high-quality natural wool, some minor shedding is expected, especially during the first few months of use. This is a hallmark of genuine wool fibers and not a defect. Regular vacuuming will significantly reduce shedding over time, leaving you with a resilient, soft surface that naturally resists crushing and wear.

The hand-loom weave used in this rug is a traditional artisanal technique that results in a distinct, high-quality texture that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. This construction method allows for the unique loop-and-pile variations and the "casual-cool" striated appearance, ensuring that each piece has a handcrafted, bespoke feel while remaining durable for everyday use.

This rug exemplifies contemporary design through its focus on texture and subtle visual depth rather than busy patterns. It features a sophisticated loop-and-pile texture and a natural abrash finish, which creates a fashion-forward, striated look. This minimalist yet tactile approach allows the rug to ground a modern room without overwhelming other decor elements.

A 3'6" x 5'6" rug is an ideal choice for smaller, defined areas. It works exceptionally well in home offices, narrow entryways, or as a cozy accent at the foot of a bed. For larger living rooms or dining areas, we recommend exploring our larger variations of this same design—such as the 7'6" x 9'6" or 8'6" x 11'6"—to ensure the front legs of your furniture can rest comfortably on the rug, properly anchoring the room.

A solid black rug like this one provides a bold, sophisticated foundation that can make a room feel more grounded and intimate. While lighter rugs can brighten a space, a darker contemporary rug adds warmth and striking contrast, especially when paired with lighter-colored seating or natural wood furniture. It is also an excellent choice for disguising minor foot traffic in active households.
