Modern Silk & Wool 9×12

1. Picking the Right Rug

Material Matters: Wool offers durability and natural stain resistance. Silk adds sheen and fineness. If your space gets a lot of foot traffic, go for harder-wearing weaves.

Size & Scale: Bigger is better — a rug that’s too small makes a room look disjointed. Let your furniture anchor the edges.

Pile & Weave: Flat-weave rugs lie low and are easier to clean; longer pile gives softness and depth but needs more upkeep.

2. Underlay & Placement

Place a good pad underneath: it prevents slipping, insulates sound, and extends rug life.

Rotate your rug every few months to even out wear and sun-fading.

3. Cleaning & Maintenance

• Vacuum regularly (without beater brush on delicate fibers).
• Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth; avoid rubbing.
• For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent or get professional care.
• Avoid placing rugs in direct, harsh sunlight — UV will fade colors over time.

4. What to Expect Over Time

Natural fibers will mellow slightly with age — minor shedding is normal in the first few months.

Perfect symmetry and exact color match to digital images can vary; your rug is handmade, expect uniqueness.
