Awena Red 8' Round Rug

To preserve the rich red and rustic earth tones of this piece, our care guide recommends vacuuming regularly to prevent dirt from settling into the foundation. For spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can damage the wool fibers. For deeper spot cleaning, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with cool water. Because wool is a natural fiber, it is best to avoid harsh chemicals and professional steam cleaning unless specifically recommended by a wool specialist.

Shedding is a natural and temporary characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs. It is simply the release of loose fibers that occurred during the hand-weaving and crafting process. For the first few months, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting (avoiding a beater bar) to manage this "break-in" period. As the fibers settle with use, the shedding will significantly diminish.

Yes, round rugs are a strategic design choice for smaller spaces or urban floor plans. By softening the hard, linear edges of walls and rectangular furniture, a circular rug breaks up the boxy feel of a room and draws the eye outward. This creates a more organic sense of flow and can make a compact floor area appear more expansive and open.

This rug is hand-crafted from blended wool, a natural fiber celebrated for its exceptional durability and elastic "spring-back" properties. Wool fibers are naturally resilient to heavy foot traffic, helping the rug maintain its pile and character over time. The handmade construction ensures a level of density and quality that typically outlasts synthetic alternatives in the busiest parts of your home.

A wool rug is an excellent choice for active households. Wool contains natural lanolin, which provides an inherent level of stain resistance by preventing liquids from immediately penetrating the fibers. Furthermore, the durability of handmade wool is resistant to snags from pet claws, and the soft, hypoallergenic nature of the material provides a comfortable, safe surface for children to play on.

For a balanced and functional layout, our design experts recommend selecting a rug that extends 24 to 30 inches beyond the edge of your table. This 8' round rug is ideally suited for round dining tables ranging from 42 to 54 inches in diameter. This ensures that chair legs remain securely on the rug even when pulled out for seating, preventing caught edges and protecting your flooring.
