Broswood Tan 5' x 7'6 Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% premium wool, a natural fiber prized for its exceptional durability and inherent resilience. Wool fibers possess a natural protective coating called lanolin, which acts as a built-in stain repellant, helping to prevent spills from being absorbed immediately into the core. Additionally, the hand-tufted construction provides a dense, plush pile that naturally resists crushing, making it an excellent long-term investment for busy areas of the home.

To maintain the integrity of this hand-tufted rug, our care guidelines strictly recommend vacuuming without a beater bar. High-suction vacuums or rotating brushes can pull at the individual wool fibers and damage the backing over time. For best results, use a suction-only setting or a handheld attachment to gently remove dust and debris without compromising the rug's construction.

A 5' x 7'6" rug is a highly versatile choice for smaller living spaces. In an urban apartment, this scale is ideal for anchoring a seating area where the front legs of a sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug, creating a cohesive "room within a room" feel. In a bedroom, this size fits perfectly under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet on both sides.

Using a quality rug pad is essential for both safety and the longevity of the rug. A pad provides a non-slip foundation that prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, which is particularly important for thinner profiles like this 0.3-inch depth rug. Furthermore, a pad acts as a shock absorber, protecting the hand-tufted backing from friction against the hard floor and extending the life of the wool fibers by reducing wear from foot traffic.

Yes, initial shedding is a hallmark of high-quality, natural wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. Because this rug is hand-tufted in India using premium wool, some loose fibers may work their way to the surface during the first few months of use. Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) will significantly reduce shedding over time as the fibers settle into the construction.

Wool is a breathable, "intelligent" fiber that naturally manages moisture, making it surprisingly well-suited for various climates. In more humid environments, wool's ability to absorb and release moisture helps regulate the feel of the room. However, to ensure the rug remains fresh, we recommend maintaining good airflow in the space and using a quality rug pad to allow the underside to breathe, preventing any moisture from becoming trapped between the rug and the floor.
