Description
A softly heathered slate gray rug with a quiet horizontal texture and gentle sheen — the Orcas brings effortless modern calm to any space.
A rectangular area rug with a heathered slate gray surface created by tightly woven horizontal rows of mixed gray, white, and dark charcoal threads — giving the appearance of subtle horizontal striping when viewed up close, but reading as a near-solid cool gray from a distance. The wool-viscose blend creates a gentle, low-key sheen across the surface that shifts slightly with light direction. The pile is medium height with a smooth, even cut surface and no visible pattern beyond the textural weave. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a refined, minimalist rug with quiet depth — like a high-quality heathered fabric stretched flat.
- Hand tufted from 60% wool and 40% viscose for soft sheen
- Subtle horizontal texture adds depth to a neutral palette
- Medium pile at 0.35 inches — soft underfoot, not overly plush
- Total thickness of 0.61 inches for a substantial, quality feel
- Versatile slate gray works in modern, transitional, and Scandi interiors
- Canvas backing — use with a rug pad for best performance

About This Rug
The Orcas Area Rug in Slate brings a calm, refined energy to any room with its softly textured, heathered gray surface. Crafted from a luxurious blend of 60% wool and 40% viscose, this hand-tufted rug features a subtle horizontal stripe texture that catches light beautifully — shifting between light gray, white, and deep charcoal tones depending on the angle. The result is a rug that reads as nearly solid from a distance but reveals quiet depth up close.
At 0.35 inches of medium pile and a total thickness of 0.61 inches, it's soft underfoot without being overly plush — ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where you want understated sophistication. The wool-viscose blend gives it a gentle sheen that elevates the neutral palette, making it a natural anchor for both modern and transitional interiors. Hand tufted in India with a canvas backing, this rug is built for lasting quality.
Pair it with a rug pad for optimal performance and to protect your floors.
Care & Cleaning
Viscose rugs, due to their wood cellulose fiber construction, require special care:
- Since these rugs absorb moisture easily, cleaning is generally not recommended.
- Should cleaning become necessary, dry cleaning is the preferred method. However, always consult with the dry cleaner as some chemicals can discolor the fibers.
- Avoid spot cleaning with water as the cellulose fibers can discolor or turn yellow when wet and may result in stains post-cleaning.
- Lighter colors and large, solid areas are more prone to visible staining.
- To minimize the need for cleaning, it's advisable to place viscose rugs in low-traffic areas.
