Aziza Ivory 2'2 x 10' Rug

Absolutely. Using a light-colored rug, such as this one with its ivory base, is a professional design technique used to reflect light and make a cramped space feel more open and airy. The contrasting blue and orange accents add visual interest without overwhelming the area, making it a perfect functional "art piece" for a transitional space that might otherwise feel neglected.

Based on our care guidelines for synthetic materials, you should vacuum this rug regularly to prevent dirt from settling into the hand-tufted fibers. For spills, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent. Because of its construction, we recommend having it professionally cleaned periodically to maintain the luster of the polyester and the integrity of the motif pattern.

Yes, this rug is built for durability in active households. It is hand-tufted with 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its resilience and ability to maintain its shape over time. Furthermore, its distressed style and intricate motif pattern are strategically designed to help mask the appearance of minor wear and debris, making it an excellent choice for busy corridors or homes with pets and children.

To ensure safety and prevent the rug from bunching or sliding on hardwood, tile, or laminate surfaces, we highly recommend using a non-slip rug pad. A quality pad not only keeps the runner securely in place in high-traffic zones but also provides an extra layer of cushioning and protects both the rug backing and your flooring from long-term wear.

When placing a runner, it is best practice to follow the "18-inch rule," which suggests leaving roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls in larger rooms. For narrower hallways or city apartments, you should aim for at least 3 to 5 inches of visible floor on all sides. This 2'2" x 10' runner is ideal for extending the visual length of a space while providing a cohesive, finished look.

A runner rug is specifically designed for long, narrow areas where a standard area rug won't fit. Common placements include high-traffic hallways, entryways to define the transition into your home, and galley kitchens to add cushion underfoot while cooking. You can also place this 10-foot runner along the side of a bed or a kitchen island to provide comfort and a pop of color in tighter walkways.
