Tupelo BLUE 5'3 x 7'5 Rug

This rug is an excellent choice for active households. The contemporary geometric pattern and heathered blue ground are strategically designed to camouflage minor lint and everyday foot traffic. Furthermore, the 100% European wool construction is exceptionally resilient in high-traffic areas, making it a reliable and stylish foundation for families who need both comfort and long-lasting performance.

Because this rug is handmade with no secondary backing, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad serves three critical functions: it prevents the rug from slipping on hard surfaces, provides an extra layer of cushioning for the medium-thick pile, and protects your hardwood or tile floors from the abrasive action of the rug's underside.

Yes, shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a product defect. During the first few months, you may notice small fibers surfacing as the yarn settles. We recommend vacuuming 1-2 times per week without a beater bar (or with the beater bar set to the highest height) to gently remove these loose fibers. Shedding will typically diminish significantly after 3-6 months of regular use.

A rug of this size (5'3" x 7'5") is highly versatile and perfect for defining smaller zones within a home. It is an ideal fit for an apartment living room where you can place the front legs of your sofa on the rug, or in a bedroom under a full or queen-sized bed. For homeowners in urban areas where square footage is at a premium, this size provides a designer look without overwhelming the floor plan.

Choosing a rug handmade from 100% European wool offers superior durability and natural luxury compared to synthetic alternatives. Wool fibers are naturally elastic, meaning they resist crushing and "bounce back" after heavy furniture is moved. Additionally, wool contains lanolin, a natural coating that makes the material inherently soil-resistant and easier to keep clean over time.

The carved geometric pattern creates a sophisticated 3D effect, adding depth and texture to your decor. By varying the pile height, the design creates subtle shadows and highlights that change with the room's lighting. This medium-thick pile offers a softly cushioned texture that feels substantial underfoot, providing a cozy, high-end atmosphere for your living space.
