OCEANIC IVORY 8'6 x 11'6 RUG

We recommend caution when using robot vacuums on this specific rug due to its textured cut-and-loop pile. High-suction robot vacuums or those with aggressive rotating brushes can "fuzz" the wool loops over time. To preserve the crisp definition of the botanical pattern and the handmade construction, it is best to use a traditional vacuum on a low-suction setting without a beater bar.

This "mansion size" rug is designed to ground large, open spaces. In a bedroom, an 8'6" x 11'6" rug is the ideal scale for a King-sized bed, providing a soft, luxurious border for your feet on all sides. For living rooms, this size is large enough to accommodate all legs of your sofa and accent chairs, which helps define the seating area and prevents the furniture from looking "lost" in a large room.

Yes. This rug is handmade from 100% wool, a natural fiber renowned for its exceptional durability and resilience. Wool fibers possess a unique "spring-back" quality, allowing them to resist crushing and matting under heavy foot traffic or the weight of furniture. Additionally, the natural lanolin within the wool acts as a built-in protective barrier, making it inherently more stain-resistant and easier to clean than many synthetic alternatives.

The textured cut-and-loop pile on this rug offers both visual depth and practical durability. By combining sheared fibers (cut) with uncut loops, the rug creates a subtle 3D effect that brings the botanical pattern to life. Beyond aesthetics, this varied texture is highly effective at hiding footprints and vacuum marks, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a clean, contemporary look in active households.

Shedding is actually a hallmark of high-quality, natural wool rugs and is not a defect. It is most common during the first 3 to 6 months as loose fibers from the handmade tufting process work their way to the surface. Based on our expertise with natural textiles, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar set to the highest height to manage shedding while protecting the integrity of the fibers.

Wool is an excellent choice for humid environments because it is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. Unlike synthetic fibers that can trap moisture, wool can absorb a significant amount of water vapor without feeling damp, which helps regulate indoor humidity levels. To ensure the rug remains fresh in coastal or humid areas, we suggest maintaining good airflow in the room and using a high-quality rug pad to allow the natural fibers to breathe from both sides.
