Saku Ivory/Black 3' x 5' Rug

Wool is a natural, breathable fiber that can actually help regulate indoor moisture by absorbing and releasing humidity. However, in particularly humid coastal or southern climates, it is important to ensure the rug is placed in a well-ventilated area. Regular vacuuming and the use of a rug pad will help maintain airflow beneath the fibers, keeping the rug fresh and preventing any trapped moisture from affecting the hand-tufted backing.

Absolutely. Hand-tufted wool is renowned for its exceptional durability and "spring-back" resilience. The dense, richly textured pile of this rug is designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy household while maintaining its shape and softness. This makes the 3' x 5' size particularly well-suited for high-traffic transition zones like entryways, foyers, or hallways.

The addition of organic viscose yarn creates "silky veins" that provide a dazzling, shimmering contrast against the matte texture of the wool. This design choice is inspired by the fine Italian printed silk fabrics used in haute-fashion, giving the rug a sophisticated, high-end finish that catches the light beautifully while adding an extra layer of softness underfoot.

This versatile size is ideal for defining smaller functional zones within a room. In a bedroom, it provides a warm and comfortable landing when placed bedside. In an urban apartment, it can ground a small reading nook or be used in a home office to add a bold geometric accent. For a more layered look, you can even place this rug on top of a larger, neutral area rug to create a modern focal point in a living space.

For regular maintenance, we recommend vacuuming your wool rug frequently to manage the natural shedding that occurs with high-quality fibers. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth using cool water and a mild detergent. Because this rug features silky veins of organic viscose, it is important to avoid over-saturating the pile with water, as viscose is a delicate fiber when wet. For a deep clean, professional rug cleaning is the most effective way to preserve the hand-tufted construction.

While this rug features a well-constructed backing, our experts recommend using a rug pad for three primary reasons: it prevents the rug from shifting or slipping on smooth surfaces, provides an extra layer of cushioning for a more luxurious feel, and protects the hand-tufted wool fibers from friction against the floor. Using a pad is a simple way to extend the longevity and beauty of your rug for years to come.
