4x6 Wool Rugs

Why A 4x6 Wool Rug?

Are you looking for the perfect 4x6 wool rug to dress up your space? With thousands of results to choose from, in any color and style you could ask for, we have something for every home.

Wool is one of the oldest and most natural types of material used in rug making, and it's still popular around the world today. You'll find it in homes of all styles, and it's particularly common in rugs. Wool insulates the floor, keeping your home warmer during chilly months, and it is one of the softest materials available.

The following ideas are based on how a professional decorator would use a 4x6 wool area rug in a home and might help inspire your next decor project:

• You could place a 4x6 wool rug in a small kitchen, selecting a bright color like yellow or blue to make the space feel sunnier. While wool is prone to staining, the natural waxy coating on the fibers makes it easy enough to keep clean in the kitchen.
• You might use a 4x6 wool oriental rug under the coffee table in the middle of a small living room. In tight spaces, some decorators will choose to place a smaller rug in the center rather than one that could go under the furniture.
• You could use two 4x6 hand-knotted wool rugs in a bedroom on either side of the bed. There's something luxurious about waking up to a warm, soft surface under your feet every day or curling your toes into one before bed.

A Closer Look At Wool Rugs

When you buy a wool rug, purchase wool-specific detergent to clean spills before they stain. You can add the soap to a spot carpet cleaner per product instructions and lift most messes before they set in.

Aside from gentle cleaning, wool rugs are low-maintenance and durable enough for moderate-traffic rooms. They will, like all rugs, stay in better shape in low-traffic spaces.

Since wool is a popular rug material used around the world, you'll find options in any style, color, and pattern you need. From shabby chic to contemporary minimalist, with everything in between, there's something for everyone.

Is A 4x6 Wool Area Rug Right For Me?

Thanks to the durable material, a 4x6 wool area rug will work well in almost any home. To help you find the right one, we've included tips below:

• Size: You want a Goldilocks size for your rug, not too big or too small. Ideally, 4x6 is best for a space that's 6x8. Since most Western rooms aren't this small, think of it in terms of the area you want to define instead of the dimensions of your room.
• Color: Professionals turn to the color wheel to select the right decor for a home. Use a color selector tool to look at your existing decor and choose what colors you might enjoy in your rug.

Enter your desired size and color into the filters to narrow the thousands of results to a more manageable number. Then compare your top picks to locate the perfect rug for your home. And make sure you buy a rug pad if you want to keep it from sliding on a hard floor.
