Anna Maria Gray 9'9 x 13'9 Rug

Yes, the combination of a hand-tufted pile and a detailed "cosmic" pattern makes this rug highly functional for active households. The swirling shades of blue, grey, and cream are excellent for masking minor foot traffic or pet hair between cleanings. Additionally, the substantial weight of a rug this size, combined with its durable construction, ensures it remains stable and stands up well to the daily movement of children and pets.

With dimensions of 9'9" x 13'9", this rug is specifically categorized as a mansion-sized accent, making it ideal for expansive rooms. For a professional look in a large living area, we recommend a size that allows all primary furniture—such as the sofa, accent chairs, and coffee table—to sit entirely on the rug. Ideally, the rug should extend 6 to 12 inches beyond the furniture edges to create a unified "island" that grounds the room and prevents the decor from looking disjointed.

Large, open-concept spaces with hard flooring often struggle with echoing and "bright" acoustics. Because this rug covers nearly 140 square feet of floor space, it acts as an effective sound dampener. The plush, hand-tufted pile absorbs ambient noise and softens the sound of footsteps, making it an excellent choice for urban lofts or suburban great rooms where you want to create a quieter, more intimate environment.

While the 9'9" x 13'9" dimensions provide significant weight to keep the rug in place, we still recommend the use of a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides an essential buffer between the rug backing and your floor, preventing any potential "finish transfer" and reducing wear on the rug’s fibers. It also adds an extra layer of cushioning, further enhancing the luxurious comfort of the pile.

This rug features a hand-tufted pile, a high-quality construction method where artisans use a specialized tool to punch fibers through a fabric backing. This technique allows for a much denser and more plush feel underfoot than standard machine-made options. Furthermore, the hand-tufting process enables the intricate "carved" detailing found in this design, which adds a level of dimension and texture that makes a distinctive style statement in any home.

The carved texture of the Anna Maria collection adds sophisticated visual depth. To preserve this texture, our care recommendations include regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar raised to its highest position. This prevents the high-low pile from being flattened or frayed. For spills, blotting immediately with a clean, white cloth is essential; avoid scrubbing, as this can disturb the hand-tufted fibers and the precision of the carved design.
