1. Characteristics: the benefits of wool rugs at a glance
Wool rugs offer many natural benefits. Wool is elastic, robust and hard-wearing, which helps rugs retain their shape and last over time. The natural oils in wool also make it resistant to dirt and moisture, as well as flame-retardant. This makes wool rugs suitable for different areas of the home, including the hallway, dining room and children's room.
Wool also feels soft and warm underfoot. A wool rug helps keep your feet warm and creates a cosy atmosphere, whether you place it beside the bed or in the hallway. Wool is also a natural, renewable resource.
2. Shapes and sizes: a wool rug for every room
Wool rugs are available in a range of shapes and sizes. Rectangular rugs are a classic choice for many rooms. Larger sizes such as 200 × 300 cm or 170 × 240 cm work well in living and dining rooms.
Narrow, elongated wool rugs make practical runners for hallways, beside the bed or in the kitchen. Round wool rugs are another way to add a distinctive accent, bringing variety to a child's room or living area.
3. Colours and patterns: find your ideal rug
From plain and understated to colourful and expressive, wool rugs come in a wide range of designs. White, beige and grey rugs work well with natural and Scandinavian interiors and can be paired with light wood furniture.
Use rich colours such as red, blue or green to add considered accents. Graphic patterns bring structure to a room and complement different interior styles. Choose a wool rug to suit your personal style and home.
4. Care: how to enjoy your designer rug for years to come
Vacuum your wool rug regularly to stop dust and hair settling deep in the fibres. Use a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush to protect the natural fibres. You can also shake or beat the rug from time to time.
If you spill something on the rug, act quickly and blot it carefully with a clean, absorbent cloth. For stubborn stains, follow the manufacturer's care instructions and use products suitable for wool fibres.
5. Brands and prices: a wool rug to suit different budgets
