Northwind Graphite 7'6 x 9'6 Rug

This 7'6" x 9'6" rectangle is a highly versatile "estate size" rug. In a dining room, it is ideally scaled for a table that seats six to eight people, providing enough surface area for chairs to remain comfortably on the rug even when pulled away from the table. In a living room setting, this size is perfect for anchoring a primary seating group, allowing for the front legs of sofas and accent chairs to rest on the rug, which creates a cohesive and grounded focal point.

Natural wool is widely considered the gold standard for rug fibers due to its inherent resilience and longevity. This rug is painstakingly hand-tufted from 100% natural wool, a material that contains lanolin, providing a natural barrier against stains and soil. Beyond its soft, plush texture, wool is incredibly durable and capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic while maintaining its shape, making it a piece that can truly last for generations.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, our care guide recommends regular vacuuming. However, it is vital to use a vacuum without a beater bar or to set the brush roll to the highest setting to prevent shedding or pulling of the wool strands. For spills, we recommend immediate spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water, blotting rather than scrubbing. For deep maintenance, professional cleaning should be sought periodically to ensure the natural fibers remain vibrant and structurally sound.

Yes, wool is an excellent choice for active households. The natural elasticity of wool fibers allows them to spring back after being compressed by furniture or heavy foot traffic. Furthermore, the tight hand-tufted construction is less prone to snagging from pet claws compared to looped-pile rugs. Wool’s natural stain resistance also makes it more forgiving for the occasional spill or mess common in homes with children.

Wool is a "breathable" fiber that naturally manages moisture, which can help regulate indoor environments. However, in particularly humid or coastal areas, we recommend pairing the rug with a high-quality rug pad. This encourages airflow beneath the piece, which is essential for protecting both the 100% wool fibers and your flooring from moisture retention. For best results in these climates, ensure the room is well-ventilated and vacuumed frequently.

Absolutely. While the plaid pattern and cottage designation suggest a traditional or casual aesthetic, the neutral graphite gray color palette provides significant flexibility. In a modern space, the geometric lines of the plaid add sophisticated structure, while in a coastal home, the natural wool texture and neutral tones complement breezy, organic elements like weathered wood or linen upholstery.
