A braided wool area rug can highlight your room’s decor by reinforcing the room’s overarching style, rounding out your color scheme, and setting the tone. A rug should never work against existing decor or furniture; instead, each element should work together towards creating one cohesive space. When you shop with that philosophy in mind, you will naturally choose a rug that highlights your decor.
Braided wool rugs often show off the braided look associated with farmhouse and country living. However, depending on the rug’s shape, color scheme, and overall composition, these rugs can be used in other styles as well. The iconic texture and braided construction of these rugs is excellent for harkening back to the past, but they can also fit into modern and contemporary styles as well if done intentionally.
As you shop for your best braided wool rug, it is important to consider some key facets of the rug.
Position: First, we recommend finalizing your room’s layout and deciding on where you want to place your rug. Each room is unique in size and layout, but these general guidelines will serve as a good starting point.
Living Room: Wool braided rugs can be used within your main seating area or as an accent for a separate reading corner. In the latter, be sure that the rug overlaps with at least part of the furniture there. With main seating areas, the rug will likely rest in front of the chairs or under their front legs since you want to highlight the rug’s textured appearance.
Dining Room: If you place a wool braided rug beneath your dining room table, center it under the table and have about one to two feet of extra rug on each side and end of the table for the chairs.
Bedroom: Common setups for bedroom rugs are to place the rug directly beneath the bed and set it either all the way beneath it or under the bottom two-thirds of it. With braided rugs, you may want to line it up in that way or along the side of the bed/in the middle of the room to show off the braided texture and colors.
Kitchen: Braided wool area rugs are typically used by sinks, stoves, or any other area you tend to stand still. Small 2x3 and 3x5 rugs are appropriate for those areas, but braided wool runner rugs are also ideal for covering the same territory.
Bathroom: 2x3 and 3x5 rugs can be placed by sinks, tubs, or showers to add comfort and style. Similarly, braided runner rugs can accent a double vanity or a narrow pathway.
Shape/Size: After finalizing where you want to place your rug and how it will overlap with your furniture, you can decide on the rug’s size and shape. Oval is perhaps the most common shape for braided wool rugs, but rectangular, round, runner, and square are other popular alternatives. As for size, some smaller sizes were recommended above, but popular medium to large sizes include 6x9, 8x10, and 9x12.
Pattern: Braided rugs are defined by their composition and weave, but that doesn’t mean all designs are alike. Some will use more thinner wool to create more concentrated braids while others will create oversized braids. When you choose the look of your braided rug, consider if you want a more rustic country style or a more refined modern aesthetic.
Color: The colors of your braided wool area rug will have a big impact on the room’s tone. Neutral colors like ivory, grey, white, and cream each have their own tone, but even that tone varies depending on what colors they are paired with. Ultimately, your rug’s color palette and color vibrances should pair with your existing style and reinforce the room’s color scheme.
What are the benefits of using a braided wool rug in your home?
Braided wool rugs are known for their durability and versatility. They can add warmth and texture to a room, as well as provide cushioning underfoot. Wool is also a natural insulator, helping to regulate temperature and add coziness to a space. Braided wool rugs are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas.
How do you care for and maintain a braided wool rug?
To care for and maintain a braided wool rug, it's important to vacuum it regularly to remove dirt and dust. If the rug becomes soiled or stained, it can be spot cleaned with a gentle cleaning solution and a clean cloth. It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wool fibers. If the rug requires a deeper cleaning, it can be professionally cleaned.
Can you use a braided wool rug outdoors?
Braided wool rugs are typically designed for indoor use, as exposure to moisture and sunlight can cause the wool fibers to degrade over time.
