Laselle Navy 5' x 7' Rug

A 5' x 7' rug is an ideal choice for smaller living rooms or urban apartments where space is at a premium. In these settings, it works best when placed centrally under a coffee table or positioned so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest just on the edge. This layout helps define the seating area without overwhelming the floor space, making the room feel organized and intentional. For larger, open-concept spaces, our experts often recommend this size to create a dedicated reading nook or to ground a secondary seating zone.

Shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs. It is simply the result of small fiber pieces coming loose during the initial "break-in" period. Regular vacuuming (using a vacuum without a beater bar if possible) will significantly reduce shedding over the first few months. This process does not affect the rug’s durability; rather, it is a hallmark of using genuine natural fibers.

While this rug features a well-constructed backing designed for durability, we always recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from sliding on smooth surfaces like hardwood or laminate, and acts as a buffer to reduce wear on the underside of the rug. This is especially useful in high-traffic areas of the home, as it helps the .5" pile height retain its shape and "peaceful vibe" for years to come.

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that can handle a variety of climates well. However, because natural fibers like wool and viscose can absorb moisture from the air, it is important to ensure proper air circulation in the room if you live in a very humid area. In coastal homes, this rug's hand-tufted construction provides a dense, cozy barrier against cool tile or hardwood floors, adding warmth and serenity to your living space.

This rug combines the natural resilience of wool with the luxurious sheen of viscose. The wool provides a sturdy, high-traffic-resistant foundation that naturally bounces back under footfall, while the viscose "highlights" add a silk-like luster and soft texture. This blend creates a "transitional" aesthetic that bridges the gap between traditional comfort and modern elegance, making it a sophisticated addition to any home decor.

Because this collection is hand-tufted in India with a .5" pile height, regular maintenance is the key to longevity. We recommend vacuuming regularly to prevent dirt from settling deep into the fibers. For spills, our care instructions specifically advise spot cleaning with a dry cloth only—avoiding excessive moisture is important as viscose fibers can be sensitive to liquid. For long-term care, professional cleaning is recommended periodically to keep the navy geometric pattern vibrant.
