• Materials: Vintage rugs typically made from wool or a wool-cotton blend, colored vintage rugs maintain the durability of traditional rugs while offering a fresh, rejuvenated look.
• Accessories: Use bold, artistic accessories like abstract art, colorful cushions, or statement lighting fixtures to continue the vibrant theme.

Material Overview: Wool rugs offer the perfect blend of durability and comfort. Wool brings a natural warmth, softness, and insulation to the rug, while cotton adds strength and flexibility. Together, these fibers create a rug that is both luxurious and long-lasting.

Delicacy: Wool is naturally resistant to stains and spills, while cotton helps the rug maintain its shape and structure. However, care should be taken to avoid excessive moisture or harsh sunlight, as it may cause the fibers to weaken or fade over time.

Sustainability: Our wool rugs and cotton rugs are made from organic materials and woven with natural dyes, making them safe and sustainable for your home. As organic materials, wool and cotton are biodegradable and eco-friendly, perfect for those looking for sustainable home decor options.

Care Advice: To extend the life of your wool rug, regular vacuuming on a low setting will prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the fibers. Rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear. Spot clean with mild detergent and cool water when necessary, but avoid soaking the rug. For deep cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning services to preserve the natural beauty and integrity of the fibers.
