The Right Rug for Every Space

Living room

Placing the front legs of your sofa and armchairs on the rug ties the room together. Most popular sizes: 200×300 and 250×350 cm.

Dining room

Choose a rug at least 60 cm wider than the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

Bedroom

Place a 200×300 cm rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed, or soft runners along each side.

Hallway

Runners (e.g. 80×300 cm) add warmth, dampen echo, and protect high-traffic floors.

Rug care

1
Vacuuming

Vacuum wool rugs weekly using a flat nozzle without a rotating brush. Rotate the rug every 6 months for even wear.

2
Stains

Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth—never rub. Clean gently with lukewarm water and mild soap.

3
Snow airing

Finnish winter is ideal for wool rugs: cool the rug outdoors first, then beat it gently on fresh, dry sub-zero snow.

4
Washing

Have hand-knotted wool and silk rugs professionally washed every 2–3 years.
