Sandhurst Blue 8' x 10' Rug

This rug is hand-tufted with 100% wool, a material renowned for its natural resilience and "springiness." Wool fibers have a unique ability to bounce back after being compressed by foot traffic or furniture, making it exceptionally durable for busy households. While wool is naturally soil-resistant, we recommend prompt attention to spills to maintain the vibrancy of the blue and geometric patterns.

Beyond its modern aesthetic, this rug is an excellent choice for urban apartment living. The dense, 100% wool pile acts as a natural sound insulator, helping to dampen echoes and reduce noise transmission to downstairs neighbors. Its 0.5-inch depth provides a significant buffer that enhances the acoustic comfort of your home while adding a layer of thermal insulation.

Absolutely. Placing this geometric rug over neutral carpeting is a professional styling technique used to add a pop of color and define specific areas within a larger room. When layering, we suggest using a rug pad designed specifically for "carpet-to-rug" use to prevent the piece from shifting or buckling over time.

For a balanced look in a standard living room, we recommend placing the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that provides enough surface area to ground a furniture grouping, preventing the "floating rug" look and creating a defined, cohesive conversation zone.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted construction, professional cleaning is recommended for deep refreshes. For everyday maintenance, vacuum your rug regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off to avoid pulling at the fibers. If a spill occurs, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and using a mild detergent with cool water for spot treatment.

Yes, shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs, particularly those that are hand-tufted. This is simply the result of small fiber pieces coming loose during the initial period of use. Regular vacuuming will significantly reduce shedding over the first few months, eventually leaving you with a stable, plush surface.
