Bonastone Gray 8' x 10' Rug

We highly recommend using a rug pad with this piece. Because of its slim 0.13-inch profile and leather construction, a pad provides essential grip to keep the rug from sliding on smooth surfaces like wood or laminate. Furthermore, a pad adds a layer of protective cushioning that enhances underfoot comfort and helps to dampen sound—a particularly valuable benefit for urban apartments or homes with open-concept layouts.

Leather is naturally resilient and can be a great option for pet owners who want a sophisticated look. Unlike high-pile carpets, this rug's flatweave design (at just 0.13" thick) doesn't trap pet hair or allergens, making cleanup significantly easier. The chevron pattern and varied gray tones also help to naturally mask minor wear or pet tracks. To ensure maximum longevity in active households, we recommend placing the rug in areas where it won't be subjected to constant, direct claws, as leather can be scratched over time.

Leather is a natural, breathable material that typically performs well in different climates. In humid regions, it is often preferred over thick natural fibers like wool, which can absorb excess moisture from the air. However, to maintain the rug’s structural integrity in a humid environment, it is important to use a rug pad. A quality pad creates a small gap between the leather and the floor, encouraging airflow and preventing any moisture from becoming trapped between the rug and your hardwood or tile.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile and popular choice for standard-sized living rooms. To achieve a professional, anchored look, we recommend placing the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. With dimensions of 96" x 120", this rug provides enough surface area to define your seating zone clearly while leaving a sophisticated border of flooring visible around the room's perimeter.

This rug is hand-made, which signifies a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that machines cannot replicate. Each piece of leather is individually placed to create the rhythmic chevron pattern, resulting in a unique item with subtle variations in texture and color. This construction method not only provides a premium aesthetic but also ensures a durable, high-quality finish that stands up to daily use while serving as a distinct focal point in your home.

Because this rug is crafted from 100% genuine leather, it requires specific care to maintain its natural beauty. For routine maintenance, vacuum the rug regularly using a suction-only setting or a handheld attachment; avoiding a rotating beater bar is essential to prevent catching the hand-made leather strips. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Based on our expertise with leather materials, we recommend keeping the rug away from direct heat sources and applying a leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep the fibers supple and prevent them from drying out.
