It's particularly effective anchoring darker, moody interiors or grounding eclectic spaces where you want something with narrative depth. Works beautifully under low seating or in living areas where foot traffic won't overwhelm the weave. Keep in mind: wool naturally develops patina over time, which many find appealing, though regular vacuuming helps maintain clarity in the pattern.
