Sarlus Ivory/Beige 8' x 10' Rug

In a bedroom setting, an 8' x 10' rug provides ample coverage for both Queen and King size beds. For the most aesthetic placement, position the rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed so it peeks out significantly from the sides and the foot. This setup creates a soft, warm landing for your feet—a particularly helpful feature in colder climates or homes with hardwood flooring.

This rug is hand-tufted from pure wool, a premium natural fiber celebrated for its exceptional durability and resilience. Wool's natural elasticity allows the dense cut pile to bounce back even under the weight of heavy furniture or frequent foot traffic. The "silky veins" of organic viscose yarn provide a luxurious, high-fashion finish. To extend the life of these natural fibers in busy areas like family rooms, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad to provide extra cushioning and prevent sliding.

Not at all. Shedding is a hallmark of high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs. Because these rugs are crafted with dense, natural fibers, some minor shedding is expected during the first few months of use. Our experts recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting (avoiding the beater bar) to manage these loose fibers. You will find that the shedding subsides significantly as the rug settles into your home.

To protect the delicate balance of wool and viscose, vacuuming regularly is the best defense against dirt buildup. For accidental spills, our care guide recommends blotting—never rubbing—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper spot cleaning, use a small amount of mild detergent and cool water. Because viscose is a delicate fiber inspired by Italian silk, avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can alter the rug's signature sheen.

Yes, the color palette and pattern of this rug are strategically suited for smaller spaces. The ivory and beige tones reflect natural light, which naturally brightens a room and makes it feel more open and airy—a common goal for urban apartment living. Furthermore, the geometric pattern creates a sense of rhythm and movement that guides the eye across the floor, adding a sense of depth to compact layouts.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "estate size" that serves as an ideal anchor for most standard living rooms. To achieve a professional, cohesive look, we recommend a layout where at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug. Based on standard design principles, leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and your walls will ensure the room feels balanced rather than overcrowded.
