A Rug that Regulates Your Home
New Zealand wool rugs don’t just look beautiful—they work quietly in the background to make your home feel more comfortable too. Wool is a natural insulator, helping to keep rooms warm in winter and cool in summer, so your space always feels just right. Its dense fibres also absorb sound, softening acoustics and adding to the sense of calm. The result is a rug that’s as functional as it is stylish, bringing balance, comfort and effortless warmth to any room in the house.
Caring for Your Wool Rug
With a little mindful care, your New Zealand wool rug will stay plush and beautiful for years to come. We recommend vacuuming weekly with gentle suction, always moving in the direction of the pile to keep fibres looking their best. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth—never rub, as this can push the stain deeper. If your rug needs a deeper refresh, a professional clean is the safest way to preserve its softness and colour. Rotate it occasionally to even out wear, especially in sunlit or high-traffic areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are New Zealand wool rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes—New Zealand wool rugs are as practical as they are beautiful. Thanks to the strength and resilience of their natural fibres, they stand up wonderfully to the bustle of everyday life, from busy lounge rooms to well-trodden hallways. Wool naturally springs back, helping the rug maintain its shape and texture even under constant use, while its inherent resistance to dirt makes it easier to keep fresh. With the right care, a New Zealand wool rug will bring both durability and softness to your high-traffic spaces, proving that practicality and luxury can live happily side by side.
How can I prevent my wool rug from shedding?
A little shedding is completely natural with a new wool rug—it’s simply the loose fibres working their way free. The good news? It settles down with time. To help minimise it, vacuum your rug gently once a week using low suction, always moving in the direction of the pile. Avoid over-vacuuming or using a rotating brush, as this can pull at the fibres unnecessarily. Regular care and mindful cleaning will keep shedding to a minimum, allowing your New Zealand wool rug to settle into its soft, plush beauty and stay that way for years to come.
Is wool a good material for people with allergies?
Yes—wool is a wonderful choice for allergy-conscious homes. Its natural fibres help filter the air by trapping dust and allergens until they can be vacuumed away, rather than letting them float around your space. Wool also resists mould and bacteria thanks to the way it breathes and regulates moisture, making it a healthier option underfoot. Add to that its softness, durability and timeless beauty, and a New Zealand wool rug becomes more than just a style statement—it’s a practical, feel-good foundation for everyday living.
