Tishamingo Turqouise 7'6 x 9'6 Rug

Yes, this rug is constructed for both beauty and resilience. It is hand-tufted in India using a blend of wool and viscose. Wool is a premium natural fiber celebrated for its exceptional durability and ability to bounce back after being stepped on, making it perfect for busy areas. The viscose highlights are added to provide a silk-like sheen and peaceful, serene vibe without compromising the rug’s structural integrity.

Because this rug is crafted from genuine wool, some initial shedding is a normal and expected characteristic. This is not a defect but rather a sign of the rug's authentic material and hand-tufted construction. Based on our expertise, regular vacuuming with the beater bar set to a high floor setting (or turned off) will help manage this shedding, which typically subsides over a few months as the fibers settle.

This rug is an excellent choice for a coastal or transitional home. The turquoise tones and floral pattern echo the colors of the water and sky, creating a relaxed, breezy atmosphere. The hand-tufted wool provides a grounded, natural texture that adds warmth and comfort to beach house interiors. In more humid climates, ensure the room is well-ventilated to help the natural fibers remain fresh and dry.

To preserve the vibrant turquoise color and intricate floral design, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly to remove dust and debris. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent with cool water. To ensure the long-term beauty of the viscose highlights, our care guide suggests having the rug professionally cleaned periodically.

The 7'6 x 9'6 dimensions of this rug make it an ideal choice for standard living rooms. For a professionally designed look, we recommend placing the rug so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it, which helps anchor the seating area. To maintain a balanced feel in the room, follow the "18-inch rule" by leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edges and your walls.

This rug is a high-quality "estate size" piece, hand-tufted in India with a substantial 0.5-inch pile height. A key indicator of quality in hand-tufted rugs is the density of the fibers; this rug is built to feel plush and supportive underfoot. The use of wool as the primary material ensures the rug will retain its shape and color much longer than purely synthetic alternatives, providing excellent long-term value for your home.
