This Safavieh Wool Rug Is Now 73% Off at Wayfair

Rugs are important: They anchor the design of a room, they make your space feel softer and cozier, and they even help with sound dampening. And while the internet is full of beautiful area rugs to adorn your homes with, it’s not always so easy to find a good quality rug—especially in larger sizes—on a budget. That’s where brands like Safavieh come in, however: It has a huge catalog of rugs to offer, including performance picks for indoor/outdoor spaces and luxe all-wool area rugs in just about every decor style you can imagine, and typically, when they go on sale, they’re on major sale. For instance, if you head to Wayfair right now, you’ll find a gorgeous 8-foot by 10-foot hand-tufted wool rug from the brand that’s a whopping 73 percent off, bringing the price down from $800 to just $219. 

The Ebony Hand-Tufted Wool Pile Oriental Rug is a total stunner in shades of light dove gray and ivory with subtle pops of barely-there blue and blush in an all-over floral design. It comes in eight different sizes from 3-foot by 5-foot to 8-foot by 10-foot, plus a 2.3-foot by 9-foot runner and two 6-foot options: one round, one square. Each size is marked down by more than 50 percent off, but the largest size with the highest discount is what caught our eye, because an 8-foot by 10-foot natural fiber rug under $250 is a total steal.

The rug has a pile height of just under 0.4 inches, so it’s not overly thick and shaggy but still soft and plush underfoot. The rug itself is 100 percent wool, while the backing is cotton and latex to not only keep the woven rug together, but also to provide a little bit of grip to keep the rug from slipping around (though it’s worth noting that as with pretty much any rug, it’s still recommended to use a rug pad with it, since rug pads keep your rugs in place and help protect the rug’s fibers from shedding too much and being crushed with use over time.)

Care-wise, the brand recommends vacuuming regularly without a beater bar or rotating brush to help the rug stay in tip-top shape for as long as possible, so keep that in mind when you’re cleaning your floors. It’s also good to keep in mind that natural wool rugs will shed a bit at first, so don’t be alarmed if your new rug does just that.

Wayfair shoppers say the rug is beautiful and “looks much more expensive than it is” and note that it’s durable as well as “thick and comfortable.” One even wrote that it’s “excellent quality,” while another said that the “colors are so serene and beautiful.”
