Katiya Navy 5' x 8' Rug

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, hand-crafted wool rugs and is generally expected during the first few months of use. This is not a defect but rather a result of small fiber pieces working their way out of the weave. Regular vacuuming with a brushless suction head will help manage the shedding, which typically diminishes significantly after several weeks in your home.

This rug features a built-in cotton backing specifically designed to help prevent sliding and shifting. While the cotton backing provides an added layer of stability on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, we recommend using a rug pad for maximum grip and to provide an extra layer of cushioning and protection for your flooring.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient and durable materials available for high-traffic areas. This rug is hand-crafted using 100% New Zealand wool, which is prized for its superior strength and natural elasticity. The fibers are capable of springing back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, ensuring the rug maintains its plush feel and "highest level of comfort" over time.

This rug utilizes a classic floral motif that serves as a timeless anchor for traditional and transitional spaces. The sophisticated navy and gray palette provides a neutral yet distinct base that pairs beautifully with dark wood finishes or white-washed furniture. Because the pattern is intricate, it adds a layer of texture and visual interest to the room without overwhelming other design elements.

A 5' x 8' rug is best suited for smaller dining nooks or under a table that seats 2 to 4 people. To ensure the best fit in a dining room, the rug should ideally be large enough so that when chairs are pulled out, the back legs remain on the rug. For larger, formal dining rooms, you may want to consider the 8' x 10' variation of this rug to better anchor the space.

Wool is an excellent choice for active households because it is naturally stain-resistant and easy to clean. The natural lanolin in New Zealand wool creates a protective barrier that prevents spills from soaking into the fibers immediately. Additionally, the classic floral pattern in navy and gray is particularly effective at concealing the small, everyday signs of life that come with pets and children.
