Hartgar Red 5'3 x 7'6 Rug

This 5'3" x 7'6" rug is an ideal "mid-size" option for smaller living areas or apartments. In a living room, its dimensions work perfectly to anchor a coffee table and the front legs of a loveseat or accent chairs, creating a cohesive seating zone. For a bedroom, this size is a great fit for placement under the bottom two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, providing a soft, warm landing area on either side of the mattress.

For wool rugs, our expert care guide recommends immediate action for spills: blot the area with a clean, dry cloth using a mixture of mild detergent and cool water. It is vital to avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaners, which can strip the natural oils from the wool. Regular maintenance is essential; however, we recommend vacuuming without a beater bar or using a high-pile setting to prevent unnecessary fraying of the New Zealand wool yarns.

Pure New Zealand wool is highly prized for its exceptional durability and natural resilience. Because the fibers possess a natural "crimp," an area rug made from this material will better resist crushing and maintain its loft even in busier parts of the home. Furthermore, wool is naturally flame-retardant and stain-resistant due to its protective lanolin coating. As a machine-made rug, it also offers a high level of precision and consistency in its floral pattern, ensuring the intricate design details are uniform across the entire piece.

Yes, initial shedding is a normal and expected characteristic of high-quality wool rugs. This occurs as loose fibers from the weaving process surface over time. With regular vacuuming, shedding typically subsides significantly within the first few months of use. This is a natural "settling" process and does not impact the rug’s overall thickness, structural integrity, or long-term value.

Wool is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers as its fibers naturally trap dust and allergens, keeping them out of the breathing zone until they can be vacuumed away. Additionally, wool is a "breathable" fiber that helps regulate indoor humidity. It can absorb moisture when the air is damp and release it when the environment is dry, a natural property that helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew, making it particularly suitable for humid coastal or southern climates.

A floral pattern in a rich palette of red, navy, and beige provides a sophisticated anchor for traditional rooms, especially those featuring dark wood furniture or classic silhouettes. The Hartgar collection specifically blends these traditional motifs with a cosmopolitan chic aesthetic. This "transitional" style allows the rug to act as a bridge piece, adding a layer of metropolitan elegance to a classic home or providing a warm, organic contrast to more modern, minimalist interiors.
