Hand-braided in the USA from 100% virgin wool, this reversible oval rug offers thick insulation, excellent soundproofing for hardwood or tile, and twice the lifespan thanks to its flip-and-rotate design.

What Is a Reversible Braided Area Rug?
A reversible braided area rug features identical hand-woven patterns on both sides, allowing you to flip it when wear appears and effectively double its lifespan. The braided construction creates a flat, low-profile surface that resists bunching under furniture while maintaining the classic texture of traditional Colonial-era rug craft.
What You Get With the Rhody Rug Bar Harbor
- 100% Virgin Wool Construction -- Hand-selected fibers provide natural stain resistance and temperature regulation season-round.
- Reversible Design -- Flip when traffic patterns cause uneven wear, extending usable life by years.
- Handcrafted in the USA -- Each oval is individually braided by American artisans using traditional flat-braid techniques.
- Natural Soundproofing -- Thick wool fibers absorb footfall noise on hardwood and tile, ideal for upstairs rooms and open-concept homes.
- Six Curated Colorways -- Space-dyed multicolor patterns coordinate with both modern and traditional living room rugs and neutral palettes.
How Do I Choose the Right Size for My Space?
For area rugs, measure your furniture footprint first: 5' x 8' fits a loveseat and coffee table, 7' x 9' accommodates a full sofa grouping, and 10' x 13' anchors dining tables seating eight or more. Leave 18-24 inches of floor exposed on all sides for visual balance.
Where Does This Braided Design Work Best?
Oval braided rugs suit entryways, dining rooms under pedestal tables, and bedroom footboard placements where the rounded shape softens rectangular furniture lines. The flat-braid profile works under rocking chairs and in mudrooms where doors swing overhead without catching edges.
