Vilvika Ivory 5' x 8' Rug

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile choice for anchoring specific zones. In a living room, it is ideally sized to fit under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the edges to ground the seating area. For bedrooms, our designers recommend placing it under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to provide a soft, warm landing for your feet. In urban apartments, this size is perfect for defining a dining nook or a home office space without overwhelming the room.

To preserve the dense, richly textured pile, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly without a beater bar to prevent pulling the fibers. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and using only mild detergent with cool water for spot cleaning. Because viscose is sensitive to moisture, avoid over-saturating the rug, as this helps maintain the "silky" finish and prevents the fibers from becoming stiff.

This rug is hand-tufted using pure wool, a natural fiber prized for its exceptional durability, resilience, and natural stain resistance. The addition of organic viscose highlights provides a "silky vein" effect, adding a sophisticated sheen and soft texture similar to fine Italian silk. This combination offers the longevity of a high-end natural fiber with the luxurious finish of haute-fashion textiles.

This rug features an intricately detailed, dense pile that acts as an excellent sound dampener. In urban environments or apartments with hardwood or tile floors, a thick wool rug significantly reduces ambient noise and the sound of foot traffic by absorbing vibrations. This makes the space feel more private and cozy while providing a layer of natural insulation against cold floors.

While ivory is a lighter tone that beautifully brightens a room, the natural oils (lanolin) in this rug's pure wool fibers provide a built-in protective barrier that helps repel dirt and stains. The geometric Southwestern pattern also helps break up the visual field, making it more forgiving than a solid light-colored rug. For households with pets, the tight cut-pile construction is less prone to snagging on claws compared to looped-pile rugs.

Yes, initial shedding is a hallmark of high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs. This occurs as small, loose fibers work their way out of the dense pile after construction. This process is completely normal and will subside over time with regular vacuuming. The presence of these natural fibers indicates a genuine wool product, which offers better long-term performance and air-quality benefits than synthetic alternatives.
