Bondway Blue 5' x 8' Rug

A 5' x 8' rug is an excellent choice for smaller living rooms or for defining specific zones within a larger space. In a standard setup, this size works best when placed under a coffee table to anchor the seating area. For a balanced look, our designers recommend placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug or allowing the rug to sit just in front of the furniture to showcase the surrounding floor.

This rug features a sophisticated blend of wool and viscose, combining the best of natural and silk-like fibers. Wool provides exceptional durability, natural stain resistance, and a resilient pile that bounces back after foot traffic. The viscose adds a luxurious silken sheen and a soft hand-feel that beautifully highlights the "cool tones" and abstract pattern, making it a centerpiece for contemporary decor.

Yes, this rug is an ideal solution for urban apartment living. The dense, hand-tufted wool construction acts as a natural sound insulator, helping to dampen echoes and reduce noise transmission between floors. Its rectangular 5' x 8' dimensions are also well-suited for smaller footprints, providing a high-end, contemporary look that adds warmth and quiet to a metropolitan space.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted construction and the wool-viscose fibers, regular vacuuming is essential. Our care guides recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Due to the delicate nature of the viscose and the high-quality wool, professional cleaning is recommended for deep refreshes to ensure the rug maintains its texture and vibrant blue tones over time.

It is common for high-quality wool rugs to experience minor shedding during the first few months of use. This is a natural characteristic of the material as loose fibers work their way out of the pile. To manage this, vacuum the rug regularly without the use of a high-power beater bar. As the fibers settle, the shedding will significantly decrease, leaving you with a durable, long-lasting surface.

We highly recommend using a rug pad with any hand-tufted rug. For a wool and viscose blend, a pad serves two purposes: it prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, and it provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects the backing and your hardwood or tile floors. A high-quality felt-and-rubber pad is the best choice to enhance the soft feel underfoot and extend the life of your investment.
