Looks aside, area rugs help absorb and decrease noise as they soften the step of hardwood and tile flooring. Made in India, this one is constructed from wool, a hypoallergenic and eco-friendly fiber that naturally resists flames, dust mites, and mildew. It features a 0.5" pile height, making it the perfect pick for adding a plush stage setter that inspires coziness in the living room, bedroom, and beyond. To keep this piece safely in place, we recommend using a rug pad.
