Anilya I Dark Blue 6'7 Round Rug

Yes, choosing a round rug is a strategic design move for compact or linear spaces. By breaking up the "boxiness" of a room and introducing curved lines, it encourages the eye to scan the space in a fluid motion, which creates the illusion of more square footage. In an open-concept urban apartment, a 6'7" round shape is particularly effective for defining a specific "zone," such as a reading nook or a small conversation area, without making the floor plan feel cluttered.

The dark blue Oriental pattern offers a timeless elegance that acts as a sophisticated anchor for various decor styles. In a contemporary setting, the classic motifs provide a "warm" visual contrast to the sleek lines of modern furniture. The deep blue tones are particularly effective at grounding a room, while the beige, red, and yellow accents offer a versatile palette for coordinating with throw pillows or wall art.

This rug is an excellent choice for high-traffic zones. It is meticulously woven from polypropylene, a synthetic fiber specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Unlike natural fibers that may shed, this material is designed to maintain its traditional Oriental pattern and structural integrity even in the busiest parts of a home, such as a foyer or a main living area.

Based on our expertise with performance materials, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove dust and debris from the medium pile. For spills, our care guidelines suggest spot cleaning only; blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent. Because polypropylene is naturally moisture-resistant, it is less prone to deep-set stains compared to traditional wool, making it a low-maintenance option for active households.

To ensure a functional layout, the rug should extend 24 to 30 inches beyond the edge of your table so that chair legs do not "catch" on the rim when pulled out. Given this rug's 79-inch diameter, it pair best with a round bistro or dining table measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in diameter. This allows for a balanced aesthetic while ensuring all furniture legs remain securely on the rug's surface.

We highly recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality rug pad. While the meticulously woven construction provides a sturdy base, a pad adds a layer of cushioning that protects the underside of the rug and your flooring from friction. Additionally, a pad is a critical safety feature for round rugs, as it provides the necessary grip to prevent the edges from shifting or rippling, which can otherwise create a trip hazard.
