Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is a wool rug durable enough for high-traffic areas like an entryway or a busy living room?
Yes, wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers available for home use. This rug features a hand-knotted construction with a density of 200 knots per square inch, which provides exceptional structural integrity. The low wool pile is specifically designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining its shape and "spring-back" quality, making it a reliable choice for the most active areas of your home.
What is the benefit of a hand-knotted rug compared to a machine-made alternative?
Hand-knotted rugs represent the pinnacle of rug craftsmanship. Unlike machine-made rugs where fibers are glued to a backing, this rug is meticulously tied by hand, resulting in a piece that is as durable as it is unique. This construction method ensures that the rug is reversible and can last for decades with proper care, as there are no adhesives to break down over time.
How do I choose the right size rug for a living room with a large sectional?
For a balanced look with a sectional, we recommend a size that allows at least the front legs of the furniture to rest on the rug to anchor the space. While this contemporary rug is available in a versatile 5'1" x 8' size, larger rooms with sectionals often benefit from our 9' x 12' or 10' x 14'1" options. Following the "18-inch rule"—leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug and the walls—will help the room feel spacious and well-proportioned.
Is a natural wool rug a good choice for a home with pets and children?
Natural wool is an excellent choice for families due to its inherent properties. Wool fibers contain lanolin, a natural coating that provides a degree of stain resistance and prevents spills from soaking in immediately. Additionally, the tight weave of a 200-knot-per-inch hand-knotted rug makes it harder for pet claws to snag the fibers compared to looped or high-pile styles.
My new rug is shedding; is this normal, and how should I maintain it?
Shedding is a completely normal characteristic of high-quality, 100% natural wool rugs and typically subsides after a few months of use. Based on our material expertise, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly without a beater bar to manage loose fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth, cool water, and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the natural integrity of the wool.
How can I use an ivory contemporary rug to make a small apartment feel larger?
Light-colored rugs in shades like ivory or beige are a classic design choice for expanding the visual feel of a room. Because these tones reflect more light, they help open up a space that might otherwise feel cramped. The minimalistic contemporary style and solid pattern of this specific rug provide a clean, uncluttered foundation that draws the eye across the floor, creating the illusion of more square footage in urban apartments or smaller bedrooms.
