8x10 & 9x12 Hand-Knotted Wool Area Rug | Terracotta Anatolian Oushak Rug for Dining Room & Bedroom

The size you actually need, in a hand-knotted wool rug you will not have to replace. This terracotta and olive Anatolian Oushak is woven to order in 31 sizes — from a 2x3 entry mat to a 12x18 great room, plus rounds, squares and hallway runners. Same design, same wool, same knot count in every dimension.

Choosing the Right Size

Getting the size right matters more than any other decision you will make about a rug. Too small is the single most common mistake in American living rooms. Use these rules:

• 5x8 / 6x9 — apartment living rooms, reading nooks, foot-of-bed placement
• 8x10 — the US standard living room. Front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on the rug. Also correct under a queen bed.
• 9x12 — all furniture legs on. Correct under a king bed, and the minimum for a 6-seat dining table so chairs stay on when pulled out.
• 10x14 to 12x18 — open-plan great rooms, large dining rooms, double-height spaces
• 2.5x10 / 3x15 runners — hallways, galley kitchens, alongside a bed
• 4x4 to 8x8 rounds and squares — entryways, breakfast nooks, round dining tables, square rooms

Quick formula for a living room: measure your seating group and add 24 inches on every side. For a dining room: table length plus 60 inches.

Construction

Hand-knotted on traditional looms in the Bhadohi–Mirzapur weaving belt of northern India, roughly 45 days per rug across a ten-stage process. Large sizes are woven by teams working the same loom together.

• 100% New Zealand wool pile on a cotton foundation
• Approx. 100 knots per square inch (KPSI)
• No latex or cloth backing — the pattern is legible on the reverse
• Integrated fringe, part of the warp
• Low pile — sits flat under doors and dining chairs

Specifications

Room by Room

Dining room: the low pile means chairs slide without catching, and the warm patterned ground hides crumbs and the occasional spill. Bedroom: 9x12 under a king leaves a generous walk-off border on three sides. Entry and hallway: wool takes the traffic and the runners are woven in the same design so the flow between rooms stays consistent.

Custom & Oversized

Need a size that is not listed — 11x16, an odd-shaped landing, a stair runner to match? We weave to your exact dimensions. Send us the measurements and we will quote it.

Care

Vacuum weekly without a beater bar, rotate every 6–12 months, blot spills immediately, and use a rug pad — particularly under dining tables and in high-traffic rooms. Professional wash every 3–5 years.

FAQs

What is the most popular size for a US living room?
8x10, followed by 9x12. If you are between the two, size up — a rug that is slightly too large always looks better than one that is too small.

Is the pattern scaled for each size?
Yes. Small sizes carry a proportionally scaled version of the design so the motifs never look cropped or crowded.

How exact are the dimensions?
Handmade rugs can vary by up to 6 inches from the stated size. This is normal for hand-knotted construction.

How long do made-to-order sizes take?
Roughly 30 days for 5x8 and 6x9, 40–45 days for 8x10 and 9x12, and 50–65 days for 10x14 and larger.

Do you ship large rugs to the USA free?
Yes — free tracked delivery to all 50 states, including oversized pieces.
