Delstead Smoke Gray 9'10 x 11' Rug

To preserve the integrity of the wool fibers, we recommend regular vacuuming without a beater bar to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot—never rub—immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a small amount of cool water if necessary. Because this is a high-quality natural fiber piece, our care guidelines recommend professional cleaning periodically to deep-clean the fibers and keep the smoke gray tones looking vibrant.

The smoke gray palette and traditional Oriental design offer incredible styling versatility. For a serene, transitional look, pair this rug with cream, beige, or light blue upholstery. If you prefer a more dramatic or traditional aesthetic, it serves as a beautiful anchor for rich espresso or mahogany wood furniture. The cool gray tones also allow it to blend seamlessly into modern spaces featuring metallic accents or monochromatic gray leather.

Minor shedding is a natural and expected characteristic of 100% wool rugs, especially during the first few months of use. This is simply the result of loose fibers making their way to the surface and is not a sign of a defect. Regular vacuuming will significantly reduce this shedding over time as the rug settles into your home.

Yes. This rug is specifically designed for high-traffic areas, making it an ideal choice for busy households. It is crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, a premium natural fiber celebrated for its exceptional resilience and ability to "spring back" after being stepped on. The machine-made construction further ensures a dense, durable pile that can withstand the rigors of everyday wear and tear while maintaining its sophisticated Oriental pattern.

Wool is often considered the "original performance fiber" and is highly suitable for pet owners. Natural wool contains lanolin, which provides a light, built-in resistance to moisture and staining. The dense pile of this machine-made rug also helps prevent pet hair from becoming deeply embedded, making it easier to manage with regular vacuuming compared to looser weaves.

A large-scale rug like this is perfect for anchoring a primary seating or dining area. In a living room, you should aim to have at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the rug to create a unified, grounded look. For a dining room, ensure the rug is large enough so that chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out from the table. Its 11-foot length is particularly effective for defining spaces in open-concept floor plans.
