Not sure which size fits?

What rug size do I need?

Measure the room before ordering. The rug should connect the furniture and leave a visible border of floor around the room.

Helpful rule: When you are between two sizes, the larger size usually gives the room a more balanced look.

Placement tips

Living room

Center the rug with the seating. At minimum, place the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug. Larger rooms usually look best when all furniture legs sit on the rug.

Dining room

Make sure chair legs remain on the rug when the chairs are pulled out. About 24 inches of rug beyond each side of the table is a useful target.

Bedroom

The rug should extend beyond the sides and foot of the bed. Place the rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed when it does not fit beneath the entire bed.

Runners

Leave a few inches of visible floor on both sides. Center the runner in the hallway or open walking path.

Round rugs

Round rugs work especially well under round tables and in square entry areas. Choose a diameter large enough to hold the furniture, not just the table top.

Measure before ordering

  1. Measure the exact length and width of the area.
  2. Use painter's tape to mark the rug outline on the floor.
  3. Check that doors, floor vents, and walking paths remain clear.
  4. View the taped outline from the room entrance before choosing.

Care Information

Wool Rug Care:
• Vacuum regularly using suction only or with the beater bar turned off. Vacuum with the pile, not against it.
• Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, scrub, or drag the cloth across the stain.
• For small spots, use only a small amount of cool water and a wool-safe cleaner after testing in a hidden area first. Blot dry with a clean towel and allow the rug to dry completely.
• For larger stains, pet accidents, odor, or full cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
• Shedding is normal for many new wool rugs and should decrease with regular vacuuming.
• Trim loose ends or sprouts with scissors at the base. Do not pull loose yarns.
• Rotate the rug periodically, especially in high-traffic areas, so wear and fading are distributed more evenly.
• Use a rug pad to reduce movement, help protect the floor, and extend the life of the rug.
• Recommended for indoor use unless the product is specifically marked outdoor safe.

WARNINGS:
• Do not machine wash unless the product is specifically labeled machine washable.
• Do not bleach.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, or high-powered vacuums.
• Do not steam clean, carpet shampoo, hot-water extract, or use broadloom carpet-cleaning products unless the manufacturer specifically allows it.
• Avoid prolonged moisture. Do not leave the rug wet, as this can damage the fibers, backing, or floor underneath.
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may cause fading or uneven color changes over time.

ALWAYS REFER TO THE LABEL ON THE BACK OF THE RUG FOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
