Tamila Gray 5'6 x 7'5 Rug

Yes, this rug is designed with a premium 50% wool and 50% Luxcelle T blend to provide a high-end tactile experience. While the wool offers natural warmth and a plush feel, the Luxcelle T fibers add a silk-like sheen and a remarkably soft texture. This combination makes the rug an excellent choice for areas where you’ll be walking barefoot, such as a primary bedroom or a cozy family room.

This rug is exceptionally resilient thanks to the natural elasticity of wool, which allows fibers to "spring back" after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. However, because Luxcelle T is a delicate, silk-like fiber that provides the rug's striking turquoise and sepia highlights, we recommend placing it in medium-to-high traffic areas like living rooms rather than heavy-use entryways or mudrooms to preserve its lustrous finish.

While the dyes used in the Tamila collection are high-quality, any natural-fiber rug can experience color shifting when exposed to prolonged, direct UV rays. To ensure the abstract design remains vibrant, we suggest using window treatments to diffuse the strongest afternoon sun or rotating the rug 180 degrees every six months. This ensures that any natural aging occurs evenly across the entire surface, maintaining the integrity of the contemporary aesthetic.

Because wool contains natural lanolin, it is inherently water-repellent, giving you a small window to act before a spill sets. We recommend blotting—never rubbing—spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Since Luxcelle T is a moisture-sensitive fiber, avoid using steam cleaners or saturating the rug with water, as this can affect the texture. For persistent stains, a professional rug cleaner specializing in wool-silk blends is the safest option.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. For the first few months, we recommend vacuuming the rug 1–2 times a week using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or with the brush roll turned off. This prevents the mechanical brushes from pulling at the fibers, allowing the "fuzz" to diminish naturally over time as the loose fibers are removed.

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that can actually help regulate indoor humidity; however, it is also highly absorbent. In humid or coastal environments, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. This not only prevents the rug from slipping but also provides essential airflow between the rug and the floor, which helps prevent the buildup of moisture and protects both the rug’s hand-tufted backing and your flooring.
