Bodrum Gold 5'6 x 8'6 Rug

Shedding is a natural and expected characteristic of high-quality wool rugs, especially those that are hand-knotted. It is simply the release of small, loose fibers that occurred during the weaving process. This is not a defect and will typically subside after a few months of regular vacuuming. To manage this, we suggest using a vacuum with a brushless suction head to avoid pulling on the fibers.

Hand-knotted rugs, like this one, represent a high standard of craftsmanship and durability. Each knot is tied individually by hand, creating a dense and resilient pile that is far superior to machine-tufted alternatives. This intricate construction method, combined with the use of 100% natural wool, ensures the rug can withstand decades of use while maintaining its structural integrity and beauty.

This rug is an excellent choice for the busiest areas of your home. Wool is naturally one of the most durable fibers used in floor coverings; its inherent elasticity allows the fibers to "spring back" after being stepped on, preventing the rug from looking flat or worn over time. Additionally, the geometric pattern in navy and gold is strategically designed to help mask minor surface dust and wear, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Wool is actually a fantastic choice for allergy sufferers. As a natural fiber, wool acts as a filter by trapping dust, pollen, and other common allergens within its textured surface, preventing them from circulating in the air. Regular vacuuming then removes these particles from your home entirely. Furthermore, wool is naturally resistant to the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, contributing to a cleaner indoor environment.

Wool rugs are highly recommended for pet owners. The natural oils in wool provide a light, built-in resistance to stains, while the dense, hand-knotted pile is much less likely to snag on pet claws compared to looped or shag textures. For those concerned about pet hair, the geometric navy and gold design helps disguise shed fur between regular vacuuming sessions.

To maintain the beauty of your rug, we recommend vacuuming it at least once a week to remove surface dirt before it settles into the base. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture. Because this is a premium hand-knotted piece, our care instructions specify professional cleaning only. This ensures that the delicate wool fibers and rich dyes are treated with the appropriate expertise to prevent shrinking or color bleeding.

At 5'6" x 8'6", this rug is a versatile mid-size option. In a living room, it is ideally sized to sit under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs resting on the edges to anchor the conversation area. For a bedroom, this size works well placed horizontally under the bottom two-thirds of a queen bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet on either side.
