Bedroom

Rugs should anchor your furniture for a balanced look. We recommend placing at least the front two legs of larger furniture pieces on the rug, rather than having them float around it or sit entirely on top.

Opt for a rug or runner that adds warmth and charm while being durable enough to handle heavy use and potential spills. Recommended Rugs: Indoor/Outdoor, Vintage, Hand-Knotted, or Handwoven Wool.

Comprehensive Guide to Rug Care

A well-maintained rug enhances your space and lasts for years. Follow these essential care tips to keep your rug looking its best.

1. Vacuum Regularly

Use a vacuum with strong suction and a flat head attachment. Shedding is normal for new rugs and will decrease over time. Vacuum twice a week for the first month, then once a week afterward. For cut pile rugs, gently rake fibers to restore their shape.

2. Handle Loose Fibers Carefully

Do not pull loose fibers—trim them with scissors instead. Rotate your rug occasionally to distribute wear and prevent sun fading.

3. Spills & Stains


Act quickly—do not rub. Use a spatula or credit card to remove excess liquid, then blot with a clean cloth from the edges inward.


Mix mild soap or rug shampoo with lukewarm water and a teaspoon of white vinegar. Blot, rinse with plain water, and ensure both sides dry completely. Always test on a small area first.

4. Prevent Wear & Tear

Move furniture every 1–2 months to avoid dents. Rotate and flip your rug every six months. Keep natural rugs out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.

5. Washing

Handwoven wool rugs need deep cleaning every 5–10 years. Professional cleaning is recommended, but if washing at home:
Vacuum and beat out dust.
Sponge with cool water and mild soap.
Rinse thoroughly and dry in sunlight, ensuring both sides are completely dry. Never use a dryer.

1. Regular Cleaning

Silk is delicate, so regular maintenance helps extend its lifespan. Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, avoiding beater bars or rollers. A gentle broom can also be used if needed.

2. Stains & Spills

Act quickly on spills. Do not rub—blot gently with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Avoid applying liquid directly to the rug, as this can spread stains and damage fibers.

3. Placement & Protection

Silk rugs are best in low-traffic areas to minimize wear. Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use felt pads under furniture legs to protect fibers from abrasion.

4. Special Care Tips

Avoid enzymatic cleaners, bleach, or strong chemicals, as these can damage fibers and dyes. Do not machine wash, steam clean, or expose silk to excess moisture. If needed, use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth.

5. Washing & Drying

Silk rugs should be dry cleaned. If hand-washing, use mild detergent and cool water, sponging lightly without soaking. Rinse thoroughly, shake gently to remove excess water, and air dry. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or machine wash. Clean fringes manually with care.

1. Regular Vacuuming

Use a vacuum with a flat head attachment and strong suction for daily care. Shake the rug outside before vacuuming. Vacuum in different directions and lift the corners occasionally to remove dust buildup. Always follow the rug’s binding when vacuuming.

2. Avoid Water

Jute and Sisal rugs should not be exposed to water, as they can shrink, stain, or discolor. Do not use steam cleaners, rug shampooers, or any water-based cleaning methods.

3. Spills & Stains

Act fast—do not rub. Use a nail file or credit card corner to lift solids, then blot with a clean cloth from the edges inward to prevent spreading.

Mix six parts lukewarm water with one part mild soap and a teaspoon of white vinegar in a spray bottle. Test on a small area first. If no discoloration occurs, lightly spray and use a soft brush to work in the solution. Wait 10 minutes, then blot with a dry cloth.

4. Wear & Tear Prevention
Rotate and flip the rug every six months for even wear.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Use a non-slip rug pad, especially on hardwood floors.
