Bellton Blue 5' x 7'6 Rug

A wool rug is one of the best investments for urban living due to its natural acoustic properties. The dense, hand-tufted wool fibers act as a powerful sound insulator, helping to dampen echoes within your home and reduce noise transfer to neighbors below. Beyond its style, it serves a functional purpose in creating a quieter, more serene living environment.

Since this rug is crafted from 100% natural wool, some shedding is common during the first few months as loose fibers work their way to the surface; this is a hallmark of authentic wool and will dissipate with regular care. Our experts recommend vacuuming frequently without a beater bar and using a gentle suction setting to preserve the hand-tufted loops. For spills, immediately blot with a clean cloth and a mild detergent mixed with cool water, as wool fibers are naturally resilient but should never be placed in a washing machine.

While wool is prized for its durability, it is a highly absorbent natural fiber. In humid climates, it can retain moisture from the air, so we recommend using a high-quality rug pad to allow for proper airflow underneath the rug. This helps prevent moisture buildup and protects both the rug’s backing and your flooring. If you live in a particularly damp area, ensuring the room is well-ventilated will keep the wool fibers dry and maintain the rug's transitional charm for years to reach.

Absolutely. The combination of a high-contrast ivory background and a structured geometric pattern helps to draw the eye across the floor, creating the illusion of more square footage. Based on our design principles, lighter-toned rugs like this one reflect more ambient light, which can brighten a dim room and make an apartment or smaller bedroom feel more open and airy.

Yes, this rug is specifically engineered for durability using a hand-tufted, looped construction. Wool is a premium natural fiber known for its "memory," meaning it resists crushing and retains its shape even under the weight of furniture or frequent foot traffic. The strength of the looped pile makes it an excellent choice for a busy family room or a central hallway where longevity is a priority.

For a rug of this size, the most effective layout is to use it as an anchor for your central seating area. In a standard living room, we recommend placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug to create a unified look and prevent the "floating rug" effect. This size is particularly well-suited for smaller seating arrangements or for defining a specific zone within a larger open-concept space.
