Dobasa Beige 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

This rug features a sophisticated blend of materials designed for both luxury and longevity. Wool is a premium natural fiber known for its exceptional resilience and ability to bounce back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. By handcrafting this rug with nylon, the piece gains enhanced durability and an extra smooth texture. This combination ensures the rug maintains its beauty and structural integrity longer than many standard synthetic alternatives.

Light shedding is a common characteristic of high-quality, handcrafted wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This typically happens during the first few weeks as loose fibers work their way to the surface. Regular vacuuming—ideally with a suction-only setting or a high-pile adjustment—will help remove these loose fibers and significantly reduce shedding as the rug settles into your home.

Based on our expertise in floor care, we strongly recommend using a rug pad. A pad serves three critical functions: it provides essential grip to prevent the rug from shifting or slipping, adds a layer of protective cushioning that extends the life of the fibers, and protects your underlying hard flooring from potential scratches. A pad also facilitates airflow beneath the rug, which is beneficial for the long-term maintenance of the natural wool blend.

While the neutral beige tone offers a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that brightens a room, the rug is built for performance. The specific blend of extra-smooth wool and durable nylon is chosen for its ability to withstand heavy daily use. This makes it an excellent choice for busy households that require a balance of high-end style and the resiliency needed to handle the foot traffic of a family room or entryway.

To preserve the handcrafted fibers, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly to prevent dust and dirt from becoming embedded. For accidental spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth using a mild detergent and cool water. Because of its premium construction, this rug is intended for spot cleaning only. Always blot rather than scrub to avoid damaging the delicate wool fibers.

A rug of this size is ideal for anchoring a standard seating arrangement. For a professional, balanced look, we recommend following the "front legs" rule: position the rug so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug. This anchors the furniture and defines the conversation area. For the best visual proportion, our decorating guides suggest leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and the walls of the room.
