Zaola Gray 8' x 10' Rug

To ensure a perfect fit for any room in your home, this design is available in three distinct sizes: 8' x 10', 9' x 12', and 10' x 14'. If you are styling a bedroom with a king-sized bed, we recommend stepping up to the 9' x 12' or 10' x 14' options. This ensures the rug extends far enough beyond the sides and foot of the bed to provide a soft, cohesive landing area for the entire room.

For those living in urban apartments or townhomes, a rug with a 0.5-inch pile height like this one acts as an effective acoustic buffer. The dense handspun wool fibers absorb sound waves, significantly reducing echoes and muffling the sound of footsteps. This makes it an ideal choice for bedrooms or living areas where you want to create a quieter, more intimate environment.

Wool is an excellent choice for active homes because the fibers have a natural "crimp" that allows them to spring back into shape after being walked on. For homes with pets, wool's natural scales help trap dust and dander at the surface rather than letting it sink deep into the backing, making it easier to remove with a vacuum. Our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming and immediate blotting of spills with cool water and mild detergent to keep the natural fibers looking their best.

New Zealand wool is widely considered a premier natural fiber for luxury home decor due to its strength and softness. This rug is crafted from raw handspun wool, which retains more of its natural lanolin. This makes the fibers inherently more resilient and stain-resistant than many synthetic alternatives. Additionally, wool is a natural insulator, providing warmth in the winter and a breathable, plush feeling underfoot year-round.

For a standard living room, an 8' x 10' rug is a versatile choice that serves to anchor your seating area. Our design experts recommend a layout where the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug. This arrangement creates a unified "zone" for conversation. For a balanced look in larger rooms, we suggest following the 18-inch rule, leaving about a foot and a half of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.

This rug is meticulously hand-knotted, a construction method that is the hallmark of high-quality, long-lasting floor coverings. Unlike machine-made rugs, each knot is tied individually by hand to the foundation, resulting in a dense 0.5-inch pile that is exceptionally durable. A hand-knotted rug is built to withstand decades of use, as the construction prevents the fibers from pulling loose or matting as quickly as tufted or power-loomed rugs.
