What makes wool rugs luxurious?

Known for their luxurious and timeless appeal, wool rugs have unrivalled durability and lavishness. Warm and soft underfoot, the natural fibres deliver a plushness that cannot be replicated by synthetic materials.

For the ultimate touch of luxury, opt for a hand-knotted rug. This meticulous rug construction technique guarantees beautiful texture with a sumptuous, velvety feel.

How do I care for wool floor rugs?

Wool rugs are an ideal choice for anyone prioritising easy maintenance. Naturally resilient, they are resistant to wear and tear. Tightly woven fibres make it difficult for dirt and debris to penetrate, while a natural coating repels liquids.

Regular vacuuming and spot-cleaning any stains with a mild detergent will keep your rug looking its best. We recommend you rotate your rug frequently to prevent sun fading and uneven wear. Check out our rug care guide for tips and tricks for increasing the longevity of your rugs.

Where can I put a wool rug?

From the hallway to the bedroom, a wool rug can look great and bring everything together in your space.

With robust natural fibres, these rugs can be used wherever you want. Add some elegance and beauty even in the busiest of places. Large wool rugs are ideal for connecting open-plan spaces, adding warmth to modern interiors and comfort to spacious living rooms.

Do wool rugs shed?

Although wool tends to shed less than other natural fibre rugs, such as jute rugs and sisal rugs, you will notice some shedding over time. Regular vacuuming can help reduce shedding — most of which will occur in the first few months.

An underlay will also help minimise the wear and tear of your rug and assist with reducing the amount of shedding. Shop our collection of Rug Underlays.

What's the difference between a wool rug and wool carpet?

While they can be used interchangeably, rugs are far cheaper. They don't require installation and you can always take them with you when you move. Buying a wool rug reduces the need for frequent replacements.

The eco-friendly choice

Support sustainable practices by choosing a hand-woven wool rug. They require minimal energy for production and have a longer lifespan than other rug types.

Wool is a natural fibre which is recyclable and renewable. It is a renewable resource that can be shorn from sheep annually without causing harm to the animal. At the end of their lifespan, 100% wool rugs are fully biodegradable. They are some of the most eco-friendly rugs available.

Highly durable and long-lasting

All natural wool rugs offer exceptional durability and higher stain resistance. If cared for properly, a wool rug can have a long lifespan of 50 years or more.

Unlike other fibres, wool is less prone to breakage and maintains its shape and texture. Its natural elasticity allows it to retain its original shape, maintaining its luxurious appearance and soft comfort.

Naturally hypoallergenic

A wool rug is a popular choice for people who suffer from allergies and asthma. Made from natural fibres, they do not release harmful chemicals into the air, which can often cause headaches and irritate the respiratory system.

Wool is a sustainable material with a natural resistance to bacteria and mildew. It also inhibits the growth of dust mites, making it the perfect piece for everyone in the family, including pets.

Cosy and inviting

Wool carpet and rugs absorb and release moisture to help maintain a stable room temperature. These rugs are natural insulators, making your space feel warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Wool's natural warmth and beautiful textures make it the simple solution to creating a cosy living space. Opt for a tufted rug with a high and low pile to add exquisite texture or a boucle blend for soothing, contemporary comfort.

Fire resistance

Did you know that wool rugs are inherently flame-retardant? With relatively high protein and moisture content, wool fibres possess a unique structure and composition.

Unlike other materials, it does not ignite or spread fire easily, meaning it is a safe and reliable choice for use in homes, offices and other commercial spaces — where safety is of utmost importance.
