Boho Chic Ziegler Noriko Blue/Red Wool Rug - 8'1'' x 8'2''

Pale blossoms on fine vines cover a dark blue field inside a red floral border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. It is a boho chic transitional 8x8 area rug in blue and red.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, color the blue field and the red border. Look for the abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It tends to show most in larger areas of one color, such as the blue field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 8'1'' x 8'2''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the blue tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The mix of blue and red works in contemporary and mid-century modern rooms, and it ties warm wood tones to cooler upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
