Bartleigh Cream 5'3 x 7'3 Area Rug

Maintenance is straightforward due to the moisture-resistant nature of polypropylene. For everyday care, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove dust and debris. If a spill occurs, our care guides suggest blotting it immediately with a dry cloth and spot-cleaning with a mild detergent. Because this material is synthetic, it can also be steam-cleaned as needed for a deeper refresh without the risk of fiber degradation common in wool rugs.

Absolutely. While the pattern is inspired by traditional Oriental designs, the "fashionably faded" distressed finish and versatile palette of cream, gray, and gold provide an updated, contemporary feel. This makes it a perfect transitional piece that can bridge the gap between classic furniture and sleek, modern accents like the light gray vases or white end tables often found in contemporary homes.

Polypropylene is one of the most reliable materials for humid environments. Unlike natural fibers that can absorb moisture and trap odors, these synthetic fibers are naturally resistant to mold and mildew. This makes the rug an ideal choice for humid coastal climates or finished basements where moisture levels may fluctuate, ensuring the piece maintains its look and feel for years to come.

A rug of this size is highly versatile and works best when used to anchor a specific zone within a room. For a living room, it is ideal for smaller conversation areas where the front legs of your chairs or sofa rest on the rug to ground the space. In a dining area, it comfortably fits under a small bistro or 4-person table; just ensure the rug extends far enough so that chair legs remain on it when pulled out. Based on our design expertise, we recommend leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls to maintain a balanced, intentional look.

Yes, this rug is specifically engineered for high-traffic durability. It is machine-woven using state-of-the-art, computer-driven looms with a low-profile pile of super-soft polypropylene. This synthetic fiber is known for its exceptional resilience, meaning it can withstand heavy foot traffic in entryways or mudrooms while maintaining its shape and texture far better than many natural fibers.

This rug is an excellent choice for active households. The distressed Oriental design is strategically "faded," which naturally helps disguise minor wear, pet hair, or small spots between cleanings. Furthermore, the low-profile pile is pet-friendly as it is less likely to snag on claws, and the polypropylene fibers are inherently stain-resistant, allowing you to showcase a sophisticated pattern in spill-prone areas like a dining room or playroom without worry.
