Looks aside, area rugs help absorb and decrease noise as they soften the steps 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 0.39" pile height, ideal for promoting a cozy and inviting feel to your space with the added benefit of being easy to clean. To keep this piece safely in place, we recommend using a rug pad.
