Grala Ivory 5' x 8' Rug

This rug offers a sophisticated balance of durability and luxury by combining pure wool with organic viscose yarn. Wool is a naturally resilient fiber known for its exceptional "bounce-back" ability and longevity in high-traffic areas. The viscose highlights, inspired by haute-fashion Italian silk, create "silky veins" that add a dazzling luster and a premium feel underfoot, making it a high-performance choice that doesn't sacrifice elegance.

A 5’ x 8’ rug is an ideal scale for defining specific zones, such as a cozy seating nook in a large room or the main furniture arrangement in a smaller urban apartment. For a cohesive look, our design experts suggest placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug to "ground" the space. If you are furnishing a more expansive suburban living room, you may want to consider our 8’ x 10’ variation to ensure the rug extends comfortably beyond the perimeter of your furniture.

This rug is a versatile anchor for several design movements, particularly Modern Rustic, Classic, and Contemporary styles. The geometric pattern provides a structured, architectural feel, while the Southwestern influence pairs beautifully with natural materials like leather, wrought iron, and reclaimed wood. Its neutral ivory and gray palette makes it a sophisticated choice for balancing bold accent pieces or grounding a minimalist room.

Hand-tufting is a hallmark of quality where craftsmen use a specialized tool to punch yarn through a primary backing, followed by a secondary backing for added stability. This technique results in a much denser, more substantial pile than standard machine-woven rugs. The manual process allows for the intricate, varied textures seen in this collection, such as the contrast between the thick wool base and the delicate veins of viscose, providing a custom-made feel at an accessible price point.

To preserve the dense, richly textured pile, our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar, as this prevents damage to the hand-tufted fibers. For spills, it is essential to blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water. Because of the delicate viscose highlights, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and consider professional cleaning for deep maintenance to ensure the intricate geometric detailing remains vibrant.

Yes, the dense, cut pile construction is specifically designed to be both comfortable and durable. Wool is naturally soil-repellent and resistant to crushing, which is essential for busy households. For those with pets, the tight hand-tufted weave is less prone to snagging than looped styles. However, because the ivory tones are light, placing this rug in lower-traffic areas like a bedroom or a formal den will best preserve its "dazzling" finish over time.
