Carim Blue 10' x 14' Rug

While wool is a natural, breathable fiber that helps regulate room temperature, it is also naturally absorbent. In very humid coastal climates, we recommend using this rug in a climate-controlled room to maintain its integrity. To ensure longevity in such environments, pairing the rug with a high-quality rug pad is a hallmark of professional maintenance; it provides essential airflow underneath and prevents moisture from becoming trapped between the rug and your flooring.

An oversized 10' x 14' rug like this one is the ideal foundation for grand spaces or open-concept rooms. To anchor your seating area effectively, our design experts suggest placing at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug. For a truly high-end look in a spacious room, this "mansion size" allows for all furniture legs to rest comfortably on the rug, creating a cohesive and defined zone that prevents a "floating furniture" look.

This rug is handmade using New Zealand wool, which is globally recognized for its exceptional purity, strength, and softness. Unlike synthetic fibers, wool is naturally resilient and has a unique "crimp" that allows it to spring back after being compressed, making it highly resistant to the permanent matting often seen in high-traffic areas. Its natural lanolin coating also provides a built-in layer of light stain resistance, making it as practical as it is luxurious.

Yes, a low-pile wool rug is an excellent choice for pet owners and those sensitive to allergens. The dense, hand-knotted construction of this rug keeps pet hair and dust on the surface where they can be easily removed, rather than trapping them deep within the fibers. Additionally, the tight weave of a handmade rug is much more resistant to snags from pet claws compared to looped or high-pile shag styles.

A hand-knotted rug is a masterpiece of age-old artistry, with each individual knot tied by an expert artisan. This labor-intensive technique results in superior durability and a unique character that machine-made replicas cannot replicate. Because the pile is tied directly to the foundation, these rugs are built to last for generations. The low-pile height of this specific rug also makes it easier to clean and maintain than thicker, machine-tufted alternatives.

To maintain the elegance of the fringe, our care guide recommends avoiding the use of a vacuum's beater bar directly on the ends, as it can catch and tear the fibers. Instead, use the hand-tool attachment to gently remove dust from the fringe. If the fringe becomes tangled, it can be carefully straightened with a wide-tooth comb. For the main body of the rug, regular vacuuming and immediate blotting of spills with cool water and a mild detergent will help preserve the artistry of the hand-knotted wool.
