Noreo Silver/Gray 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Initial shedding is a normal and expected characteristic of high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs. During the tufting process, small lengths of fiber can become loosened and will gradually work their way to the surface. Frequent vacuuming—using a suction-only setting—during the first few months of ownership will effectively manage this. You will find that as the rug settles into your home, the shedding will naturally diminish, leaving behind a dense, luxurious pile.

Yes, wool is a premium choice for durability and long-term resilience. Because this rug is expertly hand-tufted from high-quality wool, it possesses a natural elasticity that allows the fibers to "spring back" and resist crushing, even in busier parts of the home. Furthermore, wool fibers feature a natural protective coating that helps repel stains and soil, making this material significantly more resilient than many synthetic alternatives.

To preserve the "charismatic color" and "dimensional texture" of this piece, regular maintenance is key. Based on our expertise with this construction, you should vacuum the rug regularly to remove surface dust. However, it is critical to use a vacuum **without a beater bar** (or set your vacuum to the highest pile setting) to prevent the rotating brush from pulling or fuzzing the hand-tufted wool fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage natural wool.

Wool is a natural, breathable fiber that is well-suited for a variety of environments. While wool is naturally moisture-wicking and more resistant to mold and mildew than many other organic fibers, we recommend placing a dense, hand-tufted rug like this one in a well-ventilated room if you live in a very humid or coastal area. This ensures that moisture does not become trapped within the fibers. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning will help keep the rug fresh and maintain its structural integrity regardless of the local climate.

This 8'6 x 11'6 rug is a "mansion size" piece, specifically designed to anchor expansive, open-concept spaces. For a cohesive look, our design experts recommend selecting a rug large enough so that all the legs of your main seating—such as your sofa, sectional, and accent chairs—rest comfortably on the pile. This creates a defined "zone" and prevents the furniture from looking disjointed. To maintain proper proportions in the room, aim to leave roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.

The "icy tones" of silver, gray, and slate in this abstract pattern provide a sophisticated, neutral foundation that complements a wide range of contemporary palettes. For a serene, modern look, pair this rug with light-colored upholstery, such as a cream or soft gray sofa. The iridescent fibers are designed to catch the light, making this rug an excellent focal point in rooms with large windows or statement lighting. It also works beautifully with metallic accents or dark wood finishes, as the silver tones help bridge the gap between different material textures in the room.
