Callabee Off-White 8' x 10' Rug

Based on our expertise with natural textiles, we recommend vacuuming this rug regularly using suction only—**without a beater bar**. The rotating brushes on standard vacuums can be too aggressive for hand-tufted wool, causing the fibers to pull or "fuzz" over time. For spills, always blot immediately with a dry, clean cloth rather than rubbing to preserve the rug’s geometric pattern and texture.

Wool is a naturally resilient fiber that is ideal for busy households. Because natural wool contains lanolin, it offers a built-in layer of protection against stains and spills. Its high-density pile also helps the rug maintain its shape and "spring back" under heavy furniture or consistent foot traffic more effectively than many synthetic alternatives.

Yes, an 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that serves as a foundation for most large rooms. In a living room, it is ideal for grounding a seating arrangement, typically fitting with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the rug to anchor the space. In a bedroom, this size fits perfectly under the lower two-thirds of a King or Queen bed, providing a soft, insulated landing on both sides of the mattress.

Absolutely. Using a light-colored rug in shades of off-white reflects more ambient light, which helps a space feel brighter and more expansive. The large-scale geometric pattern also guides the eye across the floor, creating an illusion of depth and "contemporary flair" that is particularly effective in urban apartments or smaller modern living areas.

Wool is a breathable, organic material that naturally wicks moisture, making it a comfortable choice for various environments. In humid or coastal areas, wool’s natural properties help it stay comfortable underfoot without feeling "sticky." However, we recommend ensuring the room remains well-ventilated to maintain the rug's longevity. Additionally, the density of a hand-tufted rug provides excellent sound dampening, a significant functional benefit for homes with hard-surface flooring or open-concept layouts.

Shedding is a natural and temporary characteristic of high-quality hand-tufted wool rugs. It typically occurs for the first few months as loose fibers from the construction process work their way to the surface. This is not a defect but rather a hallmark of the natural material; regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting will significantly reduce shedding over time.
