Alicia Ivory 2'3 x 10' Rug

A deep pile shag rug is an excellent choice for families seeking comfort, as it provides a soft, cushioned surface for children to play on. While the ivory color requires more frequent vacuuming to manage pet hair or dirt, the 100% polyester fibers are inherently more stain-resistant than wool. For households with active pets, the tight hand-tufted weave is also less likely to snag on claws compared to looped-pile rugs, making it a durable and comfortable foundation for your home.

Absolutely. Utilizing a light-colored rug, such as this ivory and gray Moroccan design, is a proven interior design strategy to open up confined spaces. Light tones reflect more ambient light, which can brighten dark, windowless hallways common in urban apartments. The 2'3" width is specifically tailored for narrower floorplans, providing comfort and style without overwhelming the limited square footage.

Based on our expert care recommendations for synthetic textiles, regular maintenance is key to keeping light colors like ivory and gray looking vibrant. You should vacuum your shag rug at least once a week using a high-pile setting to remove dust and debris from deep within the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot-clean with a mild detergent. For a deep refresh, we recommend professional cleaning to preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted pile.

A 10-foot runner rug is ideal for long corridors or narrow transitional spaces. To ensure a balanced look, we recommend following the general rule of leaving approximately 2 to 3 inches of floor space visible on either side of the rug. This creates visual definition and prevents the hallway from feeling "cluttered" by the textile. For standard 12-foot hallways, this specific length provides excellent coverage while allowing the beauty of your hardwood or tile to frame the piece.

Yes, synthetic fibers like the 100% polyester used in this rug are specifically engineered for durability and resilience. Unlike delicate natural fibers, polyester is moisture-resistant and holds up well against the friction of daily foot traffic. This rug’s hand-tufted construction further enhances its longevity, ensuring the deep pile remains plush and intact even in busy areas like an entryway or a primary hallway.

Safety and stability are essential for long runners in high-traffic zones. To prevent the rug from shifting or bunching, we highly recommend pairing it with a non-slip rug pad. A quality pad not only keeps the rug securely in place on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile but also provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects both the rug's backing and your home's flooring from wear.
