Pasadena Heights Gray 8' x 10' Rug

Wool is a highly breathable, "intelligent" fiber that performs well in various environments. In humid climates, wool’s natural moisture-wicking properties help it manage ambient moisture better than many synthetic alternatives. Because it is a natural insulator, it also helps keep rooms feeling warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, making it a functional and comfortable addition to any home regardless of geography.

To preserve the integrity of the handwoven fibers, vacuum your rug regularly using a suction-only setting; avoid using a beater bar, as it can agitate and pull at the natural wool. For spills, our care guide recommends blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water—never rub, as this can set the stain deeper into the fibers. It is normal for new wool rugs to experience light shedding initially, which will decrease over time with regular maintenance.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that works exceptionally well in most standard living rooms. To achieve a balanced look, our design experts recommend following the "18-inch rule," leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls. For the best visual anchor, ensure the rug is large enough so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest comfortably on the surface, which prevents the "floating rug" look and defines the seating area.

Choosing a rug made from 100% natural wool fibers offers superior durability and comfort. Wool is inherently resilient due to its natural elasticity, allowing it to maintain its shape even under the weight of heavy furniture. Additionally, wool contains lanolin, a natural coating that provides built-in stain resistance. This handwoven construction ensures a high-quality, dense pile that feels luxurious underfoot while serving as an enduring interior design staple.

Absolutely. This rug features a tailored textile pattern—including tartan plaid and windowpane check—which acts as a transitional bridge between different styles. The sophisticated gray and ivory palette provides a neutral foundation that complements the clean lines of contemporary furniture while honoring the timeless appeal of traditional or rustic spaces. It is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to add a subtle, structured pattern without overwhelming their existing decor.

Yes, wool is one of the most durable materials for high-traffic zones like family rooms or entryways. Its natural fibers are remarkably resilient to crushing and wear. For homes with pets, wool is a strategic choice because it is naturally hypoallergenic and its dense weave tends to keep pet hair on the surface for easier removal. While wool is naturally stain-resistant, we recommend blotting any accidents immediately to maintain the rug's elegant appearance for years to come.
