Harst Blue 4' Round Rug

This rug is an excellent choice for urban apartments because wool is a natural sound insulator. The dense 0.5" pile and curly wool fibers effectively absorb decibels, helping to dampen the sound of footsteps and reduce noise transfer to neighbors below. Additionally, the rug is reinforced with a 100% cotton backing, which provides superior durability and helps the piece retain its shape in high-activity living spaces.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, authentic wool. This rug is engineered with a tight looped construction specifically designed to minimize natural shedding and fraying. To maintain its plush 0.5" pile, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting; avoiding beater bars is crucial as they can pull at the hand-tufted fibers. Based on our experience with this material, most shedding typically tapers off within the first few months of use.

A round rug is a strategic design tool used to "soften" the hard lines and sharp corners of square or boxy rooms. It works exceptionally well to define a specific zone—such as a nursery corner, a foyer focal point, or a cozy reading nook—without making the space feel cramped. By breaking up the linear flow of furniture, this traditional floral round rug can make a smaller room feel more organic and visually open.

Wool is naturally superior for durability because its fibers possess a "bounce back" resilience, making this rug highly resistant to crushing or matting under furniture. Unlike synthetic materials that can trap soil, the natural lanolin in this 100% wool rug helps repel dirt and hide daily wear. This ensures the vibrant teal and multicolor floral pattern maintains its beauty and structural integrity over time, even in busy households.

For long-term care, our experts recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth and mild detergent mixed with cool water. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaning, as excessive moisture can affect the natural wool fibers and the cotton backing. For a deep refresh, a professional rug cleaning is recommended every few years to preserve the intricate hand-tufted loops and vibrant multicolor hues.

A 4-foot round rug is perfectly scaled for a small bistro table or a compact breakfast nook. For a functional dining setup, we recommend following the "24-inch rule," where the rug should extend approximately two feet beyond the table's edge so that chair legs remain on the rug even when pulled out. If you have a larger 4-person dining set, consider the 6-foot round variation of this rug to ensure proper balance and prevent chairs from catching on the rug's edge.
