Paradover I Granite 8' x 10' Rug

Based on our expert care guidelines, you should vacuum your wool rug regularly to remove dust and debris. For a new rug, expect some initial shedding; this is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool and will subside over several months. To protect the hand-loomed fibers, we recommend using a vacuum without a beater bar or setting it to the highest pile height. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth, then use a mild detergent and cool water for spot cleaning.

This rug is crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, a premium natural fiber prized for its superior softness and durability. New Zealand wool contains high levels of lanolin, which acts as a natural protective barrier against stains and spills. Its inherent resilience allows the fibers to "spring back" after being stepped on, making it a long-lasting investment that maintains its appearance better than most synthetic alternatives.

Absolutely. A large 8' x 10' rug is an excellent solution for urban apartment dwellers or those with hardwood and tile floors looking to dampen sound. The density of the New Zealand wool fibers provides natural acoustic insulation, absorbing echoes and significantly reducing the noise of footsteps between floors. Additionally, the natural thickness of the material offers an extra layer of thermal insulation, helping to retain heat and keep your space cozy.

Wool is a breathable, moisture-wicking fiber that naturally regulates humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture from the air. In humid or coastal climates, it is important to ensure your room is well-ventilated to prevent the natural fibers from retaining excess moisture. Because this rug is made from pure wool, it possesses natural resistance to mold and mildew, provided it is placed in a space with adequate airflow.

The granite gray palette and Southwestern-inspired geometric design provide a versatile foundation for a variety of decor styles. For a "Rustic" aesthetic, the earthy tones pair perfectly with natural wood furniture and leather accents. In a modern setting, the neutral gray tone helps ground the room while adding subtle visual interest. For a balanced look, our designers recommend the "18-inch rule"—leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient materials for high-traffic zones like living rooms or entryways. The natural elasticity of the wool fiber allows it to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining its shape and pile height. The dense, hand-loomed construction and rustic geometric pattern of this piece are also specifically designed to naturally disguise minor wear and tear, ensuring it looks fresh even in busy households.
