Hand Knotted Asher Rug
How to Measure & Decide
- Measure your furniture footprint, not just the room. Rugs should frame seating or dining areas — at least the front legs of furniture should sit on the rug.
- Leave breathing room. Aim for 6"–12" of visible floor between the rug edge and the walls for balance.
- Dining tables: Ensure the rug extends 24"–30" beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain fully on the rug, even when pulled out.
- Bedrooms: A rug should extend at least 18"–24" past the sides/end of the bed to create comfort underfoot.
- Hallways & transitional spaces: Choose runners that leave 2"–5" of exposed flooring on each side for proper proportion.
Quick Reference Chart
| Size | Room Suggestions & Technical Fit |
|---|---|
| 2' x 3' | Doorways, kitchens, under desks. Best for accent placement and layering. |
| Runners | Hallways, transitional spaces, beside the bed. Leave 2"–5" border around edges for proper proportion. |
| Round Rugs | Dining rooms with round tables (4–6 seats), reading nooks, statement corners, or irregular layouts. |
| 5' x 8' | Bedrooms (fits under full/queen with nightstands off rug; 18–24" extension at foot). Living rooms with loveseats or small sofas; rug should cover coffee table and front legs of seating. |
| 7'6" x 9'6" | Dining rooms (fits tables seating 6; rug extends 24–30" for chairs). Bedrooms with queen/king (nightstands off rug). Living rooms with standard sofas and chairs; covers seating footprint. |
| 8'9" x 11'9" | Living rooms with large sofas/sectionals; rug covers entire seating area. Works for open layouts; creates unified zone. |
Description
As seen in: Business of Home
NuStory's Asher Rug will bring an organic, sculptural presence to your space. Hand knotted from 100% handspun wool, its distinctive texture is a testament to expert craftsmanship. It features a boucle-like base that contrasts with ultra-soft cut pile to create gently rippled, curved stripes. The high-low composition mimics the natural undulations found in sand dunes or riverbeds, bringing a sense of grounded movement to any room.

Care
Shedding is normal for the first 3–6 months and will lessen over time. Vacuum regularly on low power without a beater brush, and blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Use a rug pad to prevent slipping and protect your floors. Avoid direct sunlight and use protectors under heavy furniture. Clip loose ends, don’t pull. Rotate every 3 months for even wear. For deep cleaning, use a professional service.
PET rugs are moisture-resistant and quick-drying, making them great for outdoor use. They can handle direct rain but are not fully waterproof—bring them under cover during heavy downpours for best longevity.
