Laselle Ivory 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

For a rug of this substantial size, we recommend following the "front legs" rule. Position the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This anchors the seating group and creates a cohesive "room within a room" feel. Our design experts also suggest the 18-inch rule: leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and the walls to maintain balance and ensure the space feels properly proportioned.

Based on our material expertise, you should vacuum this rug regularly to manage the natural fibers; however, we recommend using a vacuum without a beater bar to protect the hand-tufted loops. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can damage the wool fibers. To preserve the rug’s peaceful aesthetic and structural integrity, professional cleaning is recommended periodically.

This rug is hand-tufted from wool, a natural fiber prized for its exceptional resilience and ability to "spring back" under foot traffic. The addition of viscose highlights provides a serene, silk-like sheen while the dense wool base maintains the rug's overall structure. With a .5" pile height, it offers a plush feel that is durable enough to withstand the daily activity of a busy household.

This rug is an excellent choice for urban apartments or multi-story homes where noise reduction is a priority. The dense wool construction and .5" pile height act as a natural sound insulator, helping to dampen impact noise and reduce echoes on hard floors. This creates a quieter, more serene environment that is particularly valuable in high-density living situations.

Selecting a light-colored rug in ivory or beige is a strategic design choice to make a space feel larger and brighter. Light tones reflect more light, opening up the room visually. The transitional geometric pattern adds sophisticated visual interest and depth, making it an ideal foundation for both contemporary and traditional decor styles without overwhelming the space.

Wool is a breathable, natural material that is generally more resistant to mold and mildew than many other fibers. In humid geographic regions, such as coastal areas, wool’s ability to manage moisture while remaining durable makes it a high-performance choice. We recommend ensuring the room has consistent air circulation and using a high-quality rug pad to further protect the rug’s backing from the effects of humidity.
