Blanton Rowe Blue 8' x 10' Rug

For homes in humid or coastal environments, the material composition of this rug offers a distinct advantage. Polypropylene is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, which can be a common concern with 100% natural fiber rugs in damp air. While designed for indoor use, its ability to resist moisture more effectively than wool makes it a reliable choice for sunrooms, mudrooms, or any area where humidity levels may fluctuate.

Yes, this rug is engineered for durability. It is power-loomed from a blend of 90% polypropylene and 10% jute. Polypropylene is a high-performance synthetic fiber known for its exceptional resistance to wear, fading, and staining, making it one of the most durable choices for active households. The inclusion of jute provides a strong, stable foundation that helps the rug retain its shape even in the most high-traffic zones of your home.

For a living room, an 8' x 10' rug is ideal for anchoring a primary seating area. To create a unified and professional look, we recommend positioning the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This "anchors" the furniture and prevents a "floating" look. In larger, open-concept spaces, leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls is a classic design standard that maintains a sense of balance.

Maintenance is straightforward due to the moisture-resistant nature of the materials. Our care guidelines recommend vacuuming regularly to prevent household dust and grit from settling into the pile. Because this rug contains 10% jute, a natural fiber, it is important to blot any liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture from reaching the backing. For more stubborn spots, the synthetic polypropylene fibers can be safely spot-cleaned using a mild detergent and water.

This rug is a practical and stylish choice for families and pet owners. The low-profile, power-loomed weave is resistant to snagging from claws, and the polypropylene fibers do not trap odors or allergens as easily as some natural materials. Additionally, the complex abstract pattern and distressed style are highly effective at disguising minor everyday messes, pet hair, or light wear between regular cleanings.

This rug features an abstract, distressed pattern with a sophisticated palette of blue, purple, gold, gray, and ivory. This multi-colored approach makes it an excellent "bridge" piece for your decor. If you have neutral furniture, such as an ivory or gray sofa, the vibrant colors will add a modern pop of personality. In a room with more eclectic "Boho" or contemporary styles, the distressed finish helps soften the look, allowing you to pull accent colors from the rug to coordinate with your pillows, artwork, or window treatments.
