Neila Beige 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

Absolutely. Light, neutral tones like beige and stone reflect more light than darker colors, which helps open up a space visually. The modernized Turkish geometric pattern provides enough visual interest to guide the eye across the floor, creating an illusion of more depth. This makes it an ideal choice for urban apartments or rooms with limited natural light where you want to maximize the sense of space.

Yes, shedding is a completely natural characteristic of high-quality wool and is expected with new hand-tufted rugs. It is not a sign of poor quality but rather the release of small, loose fibers from the yarn. Our care guide recommends vacuuming frequently—at least once or twice a week—without a beater bar during the first few months to manage this transition.

This rug is hand-tufted with a specialized technique where the geometric pattern rises with a higher pile than the base. This "chunky" wool construction adds significant visual dimension and a plush, tactile texture underfoot. This design is particularly effective for adding a high-end, architectural feel to a room without needing bold, distracting colors.

Based on our expertise with natural fibers, we recommend immediate action for any spills. Blot the area firmly with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible; never scrub, as this can distort the wool pile. For lingering spots, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with cool water. Because wool is a natural fiber, it is best to avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaners, which can strip the material of its natural protective oils.

The Neila rug is GoodWeave-certified, which serves as a definitive assurance of ethical production. This certification confirms that the rug was manufactured without child labor and that the weaving community was supported through fair labor practices. Choosing a GoodWeave item reflects a commitment to social responsibility and the preservation of traditional hand-tufting craftsmanship.

Wool is one of the most resilient and durable natural fibers available, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms. Wool fibers have a natural elasticity that allows them to "spring back" after being stepped on, helping the rug maintain its loft and pattern over time. Additionally, the natural lanolin in wool provides a light, built-in resistance to soil and staining.

This size is highly versatile for standard home layouts. In a living room, it is large enough to anchor the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs, creating a cohesive seating zone. In a bedroom, this scale is ideal for placing under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, ensuring you have a soft, warm wool surface to step onto on both sides of the bed.
