Tupelo Sage 5'3 x 7'5 Rug

This rug's dimensions make it an ideal choice for defining smaller seating areas or for use in urban apartment living rooms. In a typical setup, a rug of this size works best with the front legs of your sofa and chairs placed on the rug to "anchor" the space. For larger open-concept rooms, this size is also effective for creating a dedicated reading nook or accenting a home office.

This rug is well-suited for active households. The medium-thick pile offers a "softly cushioned texture" that is comfortable for children to play on, while the natural durability of wool stands up well to frequent use. For homes with pets, the carved geometric pattern and heathered sage tones are excellent at masking minor wear and pet hair between cleanings. For spills, our care guidelines suggest blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth to take advantage of wool’s natural moisture-repelling properties.

A 100% European wool rug offers superior longevity and natural resilience that synthetic fibers often cannot match. Wool fibers have a unique, spring-like structure that allows them to bounce back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. Additionally, wool contains natural lanolin, which provides an inherent light resistance to stains and soiling, making it a premium choice for those seeking a sustainable and durable long-term investment.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. It occurs as small loose fibers work their way to the surface. Based on our material expertise, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly—at least once or twice a week during the first few months—using a vacuum without a beater bar or with the bar set to the highest floor setting to gently remove these fibers without pulling on the weave.

Yes, this rug is an excellent solution for sound dampening. The combination of a medium-thick pile and the high density of 100% European wool fibers creates an effective acoustic barrier. It helps absorb impact noise from footsteps and reduces echoes, making it a practical and stylish choice for multi-story homes or urban apartments where noise reduction is a priority.

Because this rug is handmade with no secondary backing, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad will provide essential grip to prevent the rug from sliding on hard surfaces like wood or tile, ensuring safety. Furthermore, a pad acts as a shock absorber, protecting the underside of the wool fibers from friction against the floor, which significantly extends the life of your rug.
