For the love of our oceans

As you know, our office is located on the North Shore of Oahu where the ocean plays a daily role in our lives. Its simple- we love the ocean, our quiet beaches, waves, and salty trade winds blowing through our hair. In anticipation of the surf season just a few months ahead SHIVHON carpets will be releasing several new abstract carpet designs that capture our love of the ocean and its waves.

The way we see it life’s circumstances are very much like the ocean and her waves, they are constantly in motion. They are whatever they are, wherever they are at any given moment and it is our responsibility to be flexible and work with them. The ocean is our spiritual connection to the earth. To live on land we must learn from the sea…to be free as the tides, free as a wind swell, joyful and loving in letting it be. The ocean also has a way of unleashing our creativity so that it flows without effort: it allows us the opportunity to have our inner beauty and light shine through for all to see.

Here is a sneak peak of our newest patterns. We hope they inspire you and bring you closer to the vastness and beauty that the ocean stirs in us…our heart-home.

Aloha.

Reasons to choose wool rugs

Wool Rugs – Resilient

While wool rugs are popular for many different reasons, one of the most popular reasons is the resistant nature of wool rugs. Wool fibers do not absorb soil very well. This makes the rugs easier to keep clean.
In addition, wool rugs are said to be resistant to fire. The rugs are safe to put in children’s rooms or in high traffic areas of the home.

The material is also resistant to static electricity.Wool also naturally absorbs water from the air. Studies show that the wool fiber may suck up to 30% of it’s own weight in water and it still feels dry to the touch. Wool rugs can actually absorb the water vapor in the air, relieving the humidity in the home.

Wool rugs are also very durable. They can sustain their quality for years, even within the home of an active family.

Easy to Clean Wool Rugs

Above, it was mentioned that wool rugs didn’t absorb dirt. Homeowners really like that the wool fibers are also easy to clean. You can remove most stains with a little warm water and with light blotting. No chemicals would be needed, making it safer for health conscious families.

Upkeep of your wool rug depends on how you look after it once you bring it home. A light vacuuming once a week with slow, even strokes actually helps to improve the quality. A new wool rug may shed a few fibers at first and this is quite natural. With time, the shedding effect will fade and with continued regular vacuuming, your carpet will be better conditioned and have improved quality.

Wool Rugs are not only popular for their many benefits, but also for their designs. You can get our SHIVHON traditional hand knotted Tibetan carpets in so many different patterns and colors for no extra cost and for a fraction of what the competition are charging.

If you are looking for a nice contemporary feel to your home, wool rugs make for an elegant and inexpensive option. Wool rugs are a great investment for your home.
