Soline Gray 8' x 10' Rug

This rug is hand-crafted using 100% New Zealand wool, a premium natural fiber known for its exceptional durability and soft, luxurious feel. New Zealand wool is globally recognized for its superior strength and resilience, allowing the rug to maintain its shape and "spring back" even in high-traffic areas. Additionally, wool is naturally stain-resistant and fire-retardant, making it a safe and long-lasting investment for your home.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile size that serves as an excellent anchor for various rooms. In a living room, it is typically large enough to allow the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest on the rug, which helps unify the seating area. For the bedroom, our experts recommend placing this size rug under the lower two-thirds of a king-size bed to create a soft, comfortable landing for your feet. In a dining room, this rectangular rug easily accommodates a table for six to eight people, ensuring that chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out.

This rug is an excellent choice for urban living and apartment dwellers. Because it is made from dense, hand-crafted wool with a 0.5-inch thickness, it acts as a natural acoustic insulator. The wool fibers absorb sound and reduce impact noise—such as footsteps—providing a quieter environment for you and your downstairs neighbors.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient materials for a busy home. The dense, hand-crafted pile of this rug is naturally resistant to crushing and wear. The classic floral pattern is also strategically helpful in a "lived-in" home, as the intricate design can help disguise small bits of lint or minor wear between cleanings. Furthermore, the 0.5-inch pile height offers a comfortable cushion for children to play on while remaining easy to vacuum.

While the cotton backing is designed to help prevent sliding and provide a finished look that protects your floors from the rug's underside, we still recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, further prevents shifting on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, and extends the life of the rug by reducing the friction between the rug and the floor.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, hand-crafted wool rugs and is generally not a sign of a defect. Based on our material expertise, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly without a beater bar to manage initial shedding, which typically subsides over time. For spills, blot the area immediately with a dry cloth and clean with a mild detergent and cool water. Regular maintenance ensures the fibers stay plush and vibrant for years to come.
