Bloomslam Gray 2'10 x 7'10 Runner Rug

Yes, this rug is highly recommended for active homes. The polyester and polypropylene construction makes the fibers naturally stain-resistant and fade-resistant, which is essential for handling spills and sunlight exposure. Based on our expertise with these materials, pet hair tends to sit on the surface of the tight weave rather than becoming deeply embedded, allowing for efficient cleanup with a standard vacuum.

This piece from the Bloomslam collection is designed to be a focal point, utilizing metallic blue polyester yarns to create texture and depth. The abstract pattern provides a contemporary aesthetic that bridges the gap between furniture pieces, while the sophisticated palette of blue, gray, and ivory complements modern neutral decor. The interplay of light and dark yarns allows the rug to shift slightly in appearance depending on the room's lighting, adding a dynamic layer of interest to your floor.

Measuring your space accurately is the first step to a well-proportioned layout. Standard runner rugs typically range from 2 to 3 feet in width; this specific rug measures 2'10" wide by 7'10" long. To create a professional, balanced look, we recommend following the "18-inch rule" by leaving a border of bare floor between the rug and your walls. In narrower hallways or apartment entryways, aim for at least a few inches of visible floor on all sides to provide visual definition and prevent the space from feeling cramped.

Because this rug is crafted from synthetic fibers and features built-in stain resistance, maintenance is straightforward. For regular care, vacuum without a beater bar to preserve the integrity of the power-loomed weave. For accidental spills, our care guidelines recommend blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot-cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water. These materials are also moisture-resistant, which helps prevent the deep-set odors sometimes found in natural fiber rugs.

This runner is engineered for durability, power-loomed in Turkey using a high-performance blend of polyester and polypropylene. These synthetic fibers are chosen specifically for their resilience and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic without flattening. Furthermore, the abstract pattern and the contrast of light and dark tones are strategically designed to help disguise everyday dust and wear, making it an excellent choice for the busiest transitional zones in your home.

We strongly recommend pairing this runner with a non-slip rug pad, especially when placing it on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate. A high-quality pad serves two purposes: it ensures the rug remains securely in place to prevent tripping hazards in high-traffic hallways, and it provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects both the rug’s backing and your home's flooring from long-term wear.
