Branford View Cream 8' x 10' Rug

For those living in humid areas or coastal regions, this rug offers a distinct advantage. While 10% of the rug is made of jute for natural structure, the primary 90% polypropylene composition is naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unlike 100% natural fiber rugs, which can trap moisture in damp environments, this synthetic blend is quick-drying and resilient, making it a reliable choice for maintaining a fresh home in any climate.

The Branford View rug features a vibrant mosaic pattern with a shimmering palette of cream, blue, orange, and wine. If you have neutral furniture in beige or gray, this rug acts as a perfect "anchor" piece to introduce color and personality. To create a professional, pulled-together look, our stylists suggest selecting one of the minor colors from the rug—such as the orange or wine—and echoing that shade in your room’s accents, like throw pillows, vases, or wall art.

An 8' x 10' area rug is an ideal size for anchoring a standard living room seating arrangement. For a cohesive and designer-inspired look, we recommend positioning the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This technique "grounds" the furniture and prevents a "floating" appearance. If you are placing this in a bedroom, an 8' x 10' rug fits beautifully under a queen or king-sized bed, extending far enough on both sides to provide a soft, warm surface for your feet every morning.

To maintain the "distressed look" and vibrant colors of your rug, our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dust and grit from settling into the base of the fibers. Because polypropylene is moisture-resistant, most spills can be easily spot-cleaned. We suggest blotting (never rubbing) the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth and using a mild detergent with cool water if necessary.

Absolutely. This rug is power-loomed with a blend of 90% polypropylene and 10% jute, making it a high-performance choice for busy households. Polypropylene is a synthetic fiber celebrated for its exceptional durability and inherent resistance to staining and fading. The power-loomed construction ensures a dense, consistent weave that resists shedding and stands up well to heavy foot traffic in entryways, hallways, or family rooms.

Yes, this is a highly practical choice for families and pet owners. The synthetic polypropylene fibers are difficult to stain and easy to clean, while the distressed finish and intricate mosaic pattern are excellent at disguising pet hair and minor everyday wear. Furthermore, the low-pile height of a power-loomed rug makes it easier to vacuum up pet dander compared to high-pile or shag alternatives.
