Bellton Blue 7'6 x 9'6 Rug

In a living room, a rug of this scale is designed to anchor your primary seating area. We recommend placing the rug so the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it, which visually unifies the furniture. To ensure the room feels spacious and balanced, aim to leave about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and the walls of the room.

Not at all. Shedding is a natural and expected characteristic of high-quality, 100% wool rugs and is actually a hallmark of the natural fibers used. Because this rug is hand-tufted in India, initial shedding is simply excess fibers from the construction process working their way out. This is a temporary stage that will dissipate over time with regular, gentle vacuuming.

Wool is a highly effective material for varied environments. It is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, helping it manage indoor humidity better than most synthetic alternatives. For those with allergies, wool is an excellent choice as it naturally traps dust and common allergens within its fibers until they can be vacuumed away, and it possesses inherent antimicrobial properties that resist the growth of mold and bacteria.

Yes, this size is ideal for a queen bed. Based on our sizing expertise, a rug with these dimensions should be positioned under the lower two-thirds of the bed so it extends approximately 18 to 24 inches on both sides and at the foot. This placement ensures a soft, warm landing area for your feet while creating a balanced, professional look in the bedroom.

The transitional style of this rug is designed to bridge the gap between traditional comfort and modern sophistication. The blue and ivory geometric pattern provides a clean, structured look that can modernize a room with traditional furniture or add a touch of "New England charm" to a contemporary space. This versatility makes it an ideal foundation for rooms that mix different design eras.

To preserve the integrity of the wool, our care guide recommends immediate blotting with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible—never rub, as this can fray the fibers. For remaining stains, lightly apply a mixture of mild detergent and cool water, then blot gently. It is important to avoid washing machines or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the natural lanolin from the wool that provides its built-in stain resistance.

This rug is specifically engineered for durability. It features a looped construction, which provides superior strength and resilience against crushing compared to cut-pile rugs. Additionally, wool is a naturally elastic fiber that "springs back" after being stepped on, making it an excellent choice for busy households or high-traffic zones where long-term performance is essential.
