Kakaveta Ivory 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

A blend of wool and nylon offers the best of both worlds: wool provides natural resilience, insulation, and a premium soft feel, while nylon is a high-performance synthetic known for its exceptional strength and resistance to abrasion. This handcrafted combination ensures the rug is extra smooth underfoot while remaining durable enough to maintain its shape and beauty over time.

Minor shedding is a natural and expected characteristic of high-quality wool rugs, particularly during the first few weeks in your home. This occurs as small, loose fibers from the hand-crafting process work their way to the surface. Regular, gentle vacuuming will help manage this "break-in" period, which will subside over time without impacting the density or longevity of the rug.

Absolutely. Light-colored rugs in shades like ivory and beige are highly effective at reflecting light, which helps a compact space feel larger and more open. Additionally, the modern geometric pattern provides a structured visual flow that draws the eye across the floor, adding a sense of depth and sophisticated style to smaller living areas without making them feel cluttered.

This rug is designated for spot cleaning only to preserve the integrity of its handcrafted fibers. In the event of a spill, our care experts recommend blotting—never rubbing—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. For routine maintenance, regular vacuuming will keep the rug looking fresh; however, we suggest using a vacuum without a high-suction beater bar to prevent unnecessary wear on the wool.

Yes. The inclusion of nylon significantly boosts the rug's durability, making it a strategic choice for busy parts of the home. To further protect your investment, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality rug pad. A pad not only prevents the rug from shifting but also acts as a shock absorber, protecting the fibers from being crushed against the hard floor and extending the rug's overall lifespan.

This size is ideal for anchoring a standard living room or a queen-sized bedroom. In a living room, the rug is large enough to ensure that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest comfortably on the fibers, which prevents a "floating" look. A great designer rule of thumb is the "18-inch rule"—try to leave about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and your walls to create a perfectly balanced and proportional layout.
