Add sophisticated whimsy to your space with the Feizy Fariza Collection. Tufted in 100% wool each design offers a smooth step and durability in high-traffic areas. Innovative space-dying techniques provide a greater depth of color allowing multiple shades in a single yarn. A modern take on traditional kilm designs choose Fariza for contemporary living spaces or to add bold accents to a child's room or nursery.

At first glance the design of the Alessandria in Castle/Taupe looks like abstract art. The deep shades of gray complement the accents of green and other cool hues creating a visually appealing rug that is sure to draw the eye. Its power-loomed construction also uses durable materials so it can withstand heavy foot traffic.

You can hear the echo of the craftsman’s tools in Blu. The same honest lines and rugged texture as our larger, 80mm version, the same opulent colors and modern yet eternal look, Blu 60mm is lighter in weight and has a smaller height, making it a better choice for pedestrian and light-traffic-only areas such as on walkways and patios.

Has your hardwood floors finish worn off in many areas, especially high traffic areas of your home such as hallways, entry ways and kitchens; These high traffic areas of your home are particularly important to keep maintained. If and when the finish has worn away in areas like entryways or kitchens where the impeding threat of water/moisture is present, the hardwood is then vulnerable to potential damage. You always want to keep a watchful eye on areas of your home that have a lot of foot traffic. If you notice that in your kitchen, where you stand to do dishes, or the entryway, where you first walk into your home, show signs of wear in the finish, this might be a good time to start thinking about refinishing. Even if you choose not to go through the entire sanding and refinishing process, a screening and recoating of polyurethane is a great option. Maintaining the integrity of the finish will ultimately give your hardwood floors the longest lifespan.
