- Is this rug good for a living room?
- Yes. The hand-tufted wool pile is dense and comfortable, and the geometric pattern hides everyday traffic well. It works best in rooms where the rug is the main pattern.
- Does the wool rug shed?
- Expect some shedding at first. Wool rugs commonly release loose fibers for the first few weeks; regular gentle vacuuming settles it.
- How do I clean it?
- Vacuum without a beater bar and blot spills right away. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe cleaner or a professional rug cleaner rather than machine washing.
- Will it fit under a dining table?
- The thick pile can make chairs wobble and catch on the edge. Measure your table and chair footprint first, and consider a lower-pile rug for heavy dining use.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended. It keeps the rug from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning, and helps protect the wool backing.
- Is the color true to the photos?
- Mostly, but some owners say the blue and ivory read darker or more muted in person. Order a swatch if the exact shade matters.
