Tupelo Beige 5'3 x 7'5 Rug

This size is a highly versatile "mid-size" option. In an urban apartment or a smaller living area, it is ideal for anchoring a seating arrangement, typically with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the rug to unify the space. For larger rooms, this size also works beautifully in a home office under a desk or in a bedroom to provide a soft, cushioned landing next to a bed.

Yes, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad with this item. Because this rug is handmade with no secondary backing, a pad is essential to provide necessary grip, preventing the rug from sliding on hard flooring surfaces. A pad also adds an extra layer of cushioning and protects both your floor and the rug's fibers from premature wear, ensuring the longevity of your purchase.

A wool rug is an excellent choice for active families. Wool contains natural lanolin, which acts as a protective barrier, making the fibers more resistant to spills and staining than other natural materials. Furthermore, the Tupelo features a heathered beige ground and a carved geometric pattern; these nuanced color variations and textures are strategically designed to help conceal minor debris and pet hair between regular cleanings.

This rug is handmade from 100% European wool, a premium natural fiber known for its exceptional "fiber memory." Unlike many synthetic materials that can permanently crush or mat under heavy foot traffic, wool fibers naturally spring back to their original shape. Additionally, wool is inherently soil-resistant and durable, making it an investment piece that can maintain its beauty for years in the busiest areas of your home.

To preserve the medium-thick pile and the definition of the carved pattern, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with a high pile height adjustment. It is best to avoid using a beater bar, as the aggressive spinning can agitate the handmade wool fibers and cause unnecessary shedding. For liquid spills, blot—never rub—immediately with a clean, dry cloth to take advantage of wool’s natural moisture-repelling properties.

Wool is a breathable, "intelligent" fiber that naturally helps regulate moisture levels in the air. In humid environments, wool can absorb a small amount of water vapor without feeling damp, making it more comfortable underfoot than many synthetic alternatives. However, as with all premium natural textiles, it is important to ensure the room has adequate ventilation to allow the rug to breathe and remain dry.
