The Plumsky Grey 5' x 8' Rug is a hand-tufted collection constructed of space dyed wool and features a dense, textural cut and loop pile. Designs recall the organic shifting and layering of natural elements over time and that idea is echoed in the softly saturated blue and green tones as well as warmer shades of copper and gold.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
How do I properly clean spills on this rug without damaging the wool fibers?
For wool rugs, immediate action is key. Based on our material care guidelines, you should blot—never rub—spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. If a stain persists, use a mixture of mild detergent and cool water to gently blot the area, then rinse by blotting with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or oxygen-based cleaners, as these can strip the natural oils from the wool and damage the space-dyed colors.
Is a 5' x 8' rug the right size for a standard living room?
A 5' x 8' rug is an ideal choice for smaller living spaces, such as urban apartments or cozy dens. To create a cohesive look, we recommend following the "front legs" rule: position the rug so the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug's edge. This anchors your furniture arrangement and defines the seating area without overwhelming the room's floor space.
What are the benefits of choosing a rug made from wool?
Wool is a premier choice for flooring due to its natural durability and resilience. The fibers in this rug are inherently stain-resistant and have a natural elasticity that allows them to "spring back" after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. Additionally, wool is a sustainable, breathable material that provides excellent insulation, making it a comfortable choice for both warm and cool climates.
Is this rug a good choice for high-traffic areas or homes with pets?
This rug is well-suited for high-traffic zones because wool is naturally tough and resistant to crushing. The dense textural pile and abstract pattern are excellent for disguising minor wear and pet hair. For homes with pets or for placement on hard surfaces like hardwood or tile, we strongly recommend using a rug pad. A pad will prevent the rug from slipping, provide extra cushioning, and protect both the rug backing and your floors from long-term wear.
What should I expect from a hand-tufted cut and loop pile construction?
This rug is hand-tufted and features a dense, textural cut and loop pile. This construction method creates a multi-dimensional surface that adds visual depth and a sophisticated feel underfoot. The combination of cut and looped fibers is particularly effective at masking footprints and vacuum marks, making it a practical and high-performing option for busy households.
Is it normal for a new wool rug to shed, and how should I manage it?
Yes, initial shedding is a perfectly normal characteristic of high-quality hand-tufted wool rugs. This is simply the result of small fiber pieces being released from the yarn during the first few months of use. To manage this, our experts recommend vacuuming the rug at least once or twice a week with a canister vacuum or a vacuum with the beater bar set to the highest pile setting to avoid pulling the fibers.
