Description
Hand-knotted in a soft wool-viscose blend, the Mahaffey features organic gray and cream horizontal stripes with long tassels — a quietly stunning neutral for any modern or boho space.
A rectangular hand-knotted area rug with a horizontal stripe pattern rendered in medium gray and warm cream tones. The stripes are irregular and organic in character — not perfectly uniform — giving the surface an abstract, almost brushstroke-like quality. The low, flat pile (approximately 0.18 inches) has a slightly textured, matte finish with subtle sheen from the viscose content. The overall color distribution is roughly equal between gray and cream, with the stripes blending softly rather than creating sharp contrast. Both short ends are finished with long (approximately 4-inch) natural-colored tassels that hang loosely and evenly. The rug is rectangular in shape with no visible border, and the pattern runs edge to edge.
- Hand-knotted construction — built to last for decades
- 80% wool + 20% viscose blend for texture and sheen
- Organic horizontal stripe pattern in gray and cream
- Long natural tassels on both ends for a boho finish
- Low 0.18" pile — lays flat, great for high-traffic areas
- Versatile neutral palette works in modern, boho, or transitional rooms

About This Rug
The Mahaffey Area Rug brings effortless, understated style to any room with its soft, hand-knotted construction and beautifully textured horizontal stripe pattern. Woven from an 80% wool and 20% viscose blend, the rug features irregular, organic-looking stripes in warm gray and cream tones that shift subtly across the surface — giving it an almost painterly, abstract quality. The low pile (0.18 inches) lies flat and smooth underfoot, making it ideal for high-traffic living rooms, dining rooms, or layering beneath furniture.
Finished with long, natural tassels along both ends, the Mahaffey has a relaxed bohemian edge that keeps it from feeling too formal. The neutral gray and cream palette is incredibly versatile — it works equally well in modern, contemporary, transitional, and even Moroccan-inspired interiors. Hand-knotted construction means this rug is built to last, with a tight, durable weave that holds up beautifully over time.
Whether you're anchoring a minimalist living room or softening a hardwood-floored bedroom, the Mahaffey delivers quiet, sophisticated texture without competing with the rest of your décor.
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.

When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room's acoustics.
