Pasadena Heights Gray 3'6 x 5'6 Rug

This rug is classified as a "studio size," making it an ideal choice for smaller, defined areas like a home office, a cozy reading nook, or as a sophisticated bedside accent. Its 3'6" x 5'6" dimensions allow it to ground a small furniture grouping without overwhelming a compact room, providing a finished look to areas where a larger area rug might feel cramped.

This rug features a sophisticated tartan plaid in shades of gray and ivory, serving as a versatile interior design staple. While plaid is a classic pattern, the toned-down color palette allows it to act as a neutral anchor for contemporary furniture with clean lines. It can bridge the gap between different styles, adding a touch of traditional elegance to a modern space or complementing the organic textures of a rustic or transitional room.

Handwoven from 100% natural wool fibers, this rug is exceptionally resilient and built for longevity. Wool is a premium, high-performance material naturally known for its "bounce back" ability, meaning the fibers resist crushing and matting under heavy foot traffic or furniture weight. Its sturdy handwoven construction ensures the plaid pattern remains crisp and enduring even in busier parts of the home.

To maintain the integrity of natural wool fibers, we recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling deep into the pile. Based on our material care expertise, spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn spots, use a mixture of mild detergent and cool water, taking care not to over-saturate the wool. Because wool has a natural protective coating, it is inherently stain-resistant, making it easier to maintain than many synthetic alternatives.

This rug is a strategic choice for urban dwellers for two main reasons: scale and sound. Its compact dimensions are tailored specifically for smaller floor plans typical of apartment living. Furthermore, the 100% natural wool pile acts as an excellent insulator and noise dampener, helping to reduce sound transmission between floors—a significant benefit in shared living buildings. The ivory and gray tones also help reflect light, which can make a smaller room feel more open and airy.

While this rug features a durable handwoven construction, we generally recommend using a rug pad underneath any area rug placed on hardwood, tile, or laminate surfaces. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, and adds an additional layer of protection for your flooring. This is especially important for smaller rugs in "studio" sizes that may not be anchored by heavy furniture.
