Nerva Gray 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Because this rug blends durable wool with the silk-like luster of viscose, we recommend a specialized care routine. Regular vacuuming is essential, but it is best to use a vacuum without a beater bar—or with the bar set high—to preserve the handcrafted multi-level loop-and-pile texture. If a spill occurs, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Since viscose fibers can be sensitive to excessive moisture, our care guides suggest professional cleaning for deep maintenance to protect the rug’s intricate motifs and energetic textural looks.

Yes, the combination of a light gray palette and a contemporary abstract pattern is an effective design choice for expanding a space visually. Light-toned rugs reflect more light, helping a room feel brighter and more open. Furthermore, the multi-level motifs in this rug provide visual depth without the "heavy" feel of a dark, solid rug, making it an excellent choice for urban apartments or rooms where you want to maximize the sense of space.

This rug is handcrafted for density and quality, which are hallmarks of a durable floor covering. The wool components are naturally resilient and bounce back after being stepped on, while the abstract pattern is strategically useful for disguising minor wear or pet hair. For households with pets, we recommend keeping claws trimmed to prevent snagging in the loop-and-pile sections. Using a high-quality rug pad can also add a layer of protection and help extend the life of the fibers in high-traffic zones.

An 8'6" x 11'6" rug is a versatile "estate size" that works beautifully in most standard living rooms. To create a professional, grounded look, we recommend placing the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This anchors your furniture grouping and helps define the seating area. For the best visual balance, aim to leave a border of about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.

It is perfectly normal for high-quality rugs made with natural wool to experience some shedding during the first few months of use. This is not a defect, but rather a characteristic of the authentic natural fibers settling. Regular vacuuming will help manage the loose fibers during this initial period. Over time, the shedding will significantly decrease, leaving you with a durable and plush surface that maintains its енергетическая texture for years to come.

The multi-level loop-and-pile construction creates a "sculpted" effect that adds sophisticated texture to modern interiors. By varying the height and style of the fibers, the rug offers a variety of energetic textural looks that catch the light differently throughout the day. Underfoot, this design provides a unique, multi-dimensional feel that is softer than a flatweave rug, offering both the luxury of viscose and the substantial support of wool.
