Viking Stripe Multi 3'6" x 5'6" Rug

To preserve the delicate fibers and intricate hand-knotted construction, this rug is marked as "Professional clean only." Viscose, which gives the rug its beautiful luster, is sensitive to moisture and can lose its texture if treated with standard household cleaners. For routine maintenance, we recommend using a vacuum without a beater bar (or with the bar set to the highest setting) to gently remove dust without pulling at the hand-tied knots.

This "studio size" rug is incredibly versatile for defining smaller zones within a larger room. Its 3'6" x 5'6" dimensions make it ideal for an entryway, a cozy reading nook, or as a soft landing beside a bed. In an urban apartment or smaller "studio" space, this size is perfect for grounding a small desk or accent chair without overwhelming the floor plan.

A hand-knotted rug is a piece of functional art. This specific construction means the rug is exceptionally strong and flexible, as it does not rely on the adhesives or synthetic backings often found in tufted rugs. Hand-knotting also allows for the intricate, dimensional geometric patterns seen in the Viking Stripe collection, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. With proper care, a hand-knotted rug can maintain its beauty for decades.

The Viking Stripe rug uses a vibrant, multi-color palette that serves as a "bridge" to tie different decor elements together. Because it contains multiple hues, you can easily pull one specific color from the rug—such as the red or neutral tones—and mirror it in your throw pillows or wall art to create a cohesive look. The striped geometric style adds a modern, architectural feel that balances well with solid-colored sofas or mid-century modern furniture.

This rug features a sophisticated blend of 50% wool, 30% cotton, and 20% viscose. The wool and cotton provides a sturdy, resilient foundation that naturally resists crushing, while the viscose adds a luxurious silk-like sheen. Because it is hand-knotted—a premium construction method where artisans tie each individual knot—it offers superior durability and longevity compared to machine-made alternatives. It is an excellent choice for adding a high-end feel to spaces like home offices or bedrooms.

While wool is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, the 20% viscose content in this rug makes it best suited for climate-controlled indoor environments. Viscose can be susceptible to "yellowing" or texture changes if exposed to high humidity or direct water contact. For those in coastal or high-humidity regions, we recommend placing this rug in a room with consistent air conditioning or dehumidification to protect the integrity and sheen of the specialty fibers.
