Question 1

How do I choose the right size and shape?

Accepted Answer

Size it to the furniture, not the floor: at least 18 in shows beyond the sides and foot of a bed, and under a dining table it runs 24 in (60 cm) past the edge. Riad comes in three shapes, Classic, Round and Runner, in a standard size or a custom size priced as you type. The size guide has plans room by room.

Question 2

Will I hear from you while it's made?

Accepted Answer

We write at every stage: the order confirmation, the day knotting begins, the day your rug is finished, and tracking when it ships.

Question 3

What shifts across the lattice on Riad?

Accepted Answer

On the rectangle and the round, stepped florets sit in straight bands while the lattice behind them shifts tone from row to row, and a crenellated band closes each end as walls close a garden. The runner is a separate design: a checkerboard center framed by a stepped band and a wide border.

Question 4

Is Riad hand-knotted, tile by tile?

Accepted Answer

Each tile is knotted by hand in 100% natural wool, color by color, densely enough that small blocks stay distinct instead of running together.

Question 5

Where does Riad work best?

Accepted Answer

This rug is at its best in a kids room, where its color lifts the room. For play, short or medium pile keeps blocks and toy cars upright. It also suits a dining room and an entryway.

Question 6

How do the florets read across short, medium and shag?

Accepted Answer

Short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile keeps each floret outline and the crenellated band edges crisp. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) rounds the florets at their edges, so they seem to swell slightly from the ground. Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) softens the stepped lattice and merges the small florets into the gradual shift of the bands.

Question 7

How do I keep Riad looking fresh?

Accepted Answer

Small tiles hide crumbs and grit well, so weekly vacuuming with suction only does most of the work, and it also lifts the loose fiber new wool lets go of in its first weeks. Blot spills with cool water from the edge inward, never rub, and skip steam and carpet foam. The care guide has the full routine.

Question 8

Can Riad be made in a color that suits my sofa?

Accepted Answer

Change any color on Riad to a shade from our 30 wool colors and the preview shows it against your sofa's tone at once; the weavers make the version you approve. It is 10% above the size's price, with one extra week.
