George Oliver Gaither Hand-Tufted Wool Light Blue/Gray Area Rug, Size: Runner 2&3 inch x 8&

One sure way to elevate a room in no time at all is with a characterful wool area rug like this one: The linework has an eye-catching motif that anchors the space in pattern, but with a neutral palette that's easy to work with. Picture it in a neutrals-filled office or let its personality shine through in a traditional Southern living room. And when it comes to upkeep, regular vacuuming is recommended, but please avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush. When it's ready for deep cleaning, just leave it to the professionals.
