Whether you’re looking for an easy way to protect and muffle hardwood floors or add just the right decorative touch to make a house feel like home, an area rug is one sure way to get the job done. Take this rug, for example: Carefully woven from 100% wool (known for its resistance to stains and normal wear), it has a light silvertone and ivory Persian-inspired pattern with a subtly distressed finish that gives it all the charm of a well-loved antique. Picture it in a neutrals-filled nursery or let its personality shine through in an eclectic living room. Something to consider: Though this rug’s 0.63” pile gives it plenty of padding underfoot, we recommend you pair this piece with a rug pad to help it stay put. When it comes to upkeep, regular vacuuming is recommended, but please avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush. When it’s ready for deep cleaning, just leave it to the professionals.
