Aziza Blue 2'2 x 10' Rug

Absolutely. In smaller or narrower spaces, a long runner like this can actually create the illusion of more depth, making a cramped hallway feel more expansive. To follow professional design standards, we recommend the "18-inch rule," leaving a consistent border of bare floor between the rug and the walls to ensure the space feels balanced and intentional rather than cluttered.

A distressed style is a strategic choice for active households. The purposefully faded appearance of the motif pattern helps mask minor footprints and everyday wear that can occur in high-traffic areas. This "lived-in" contemporary look allows the rug to blend seamlessly into both modern and traditional decors, providing a vintage aesthetic without the maintenance requirements of an actual antique textile.

This 2'2" x 10' runner is specifically designed for high-traffic, narrow transition zones. It is an ideal choice for long hallways, entryways, or even alongside a kitchen island. Its generous 10-foot length helps guide movement through the home while providing a soft, consistent path that protects your primary flooring from wear.

For safety and longevity, we highly recommend pairing this runner with a non-slip rug pad. In high-traffic zones like entryways or kitchens, a pad prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, which reduces trip hazards. Furthermore, a quality pad provides extra cushioning underfoot and protects the rug's backing from friction against hard floor surfaces.

Yes, the 100% polyester fibers used in this rug are known for their resilience and natural resistance to water-based stains and fading. Because polyester is a synthetic fiber, it holds color exceptionally well—meaning the vibrant blue and orange motif will remain "lustrous and mesmerizing" even in sunlit hallways. Additionally, the tight hand-tufted construction provides a dense pile that stands up well to daily foot traffic.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, our care guide recommends vacuuming regularly to prevent dirt from settling into the pile. For liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Due to the high-quality construction of this rug, we recommend professional cleaning for deep maintenance to ensure the fibers and backing remain in top condition for years to come.
