Caridee Pewter 9' x 13' Rug

Strategically using a larger rug can actually make a room feel more spacious. A common mistake is choosing a rug that is too small, which can visually chop up the floor and make a room feel cramped. By using a 9' x 13' rug that covers the majority of the floor, you create a continuous visual plane that draws the eye outward. Furthermore, the light-reflecting gray tones in this pewter rug help brighten the space, while the horizontal stripes can create a "widening" effect, adding to the illusion of a larger, more open room.

Yes, this rug is specifically designed for high-performance households. The neutral gray palette and multi-tonal striped pattern are excellent at disguising the appearance of daily wear, pet hair, and minor tracking. Additionally, the low-profile pile is less likely to snag under pet claws compared to high-pile or shag alternatives. Because the fibers are tightly woven, common allergens and pet dander tend to sit on the surface rather than becoming deeply embedded, allowing for more efficient cleaning with a standard vacuum.

The 18-inch rule is a professional decorating guideline that suggests leaving roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the walls of the room. For an oversized rug like this one, adhering to this rule ensures the space feels intentional and architecturally balanced. It allows the beauty of your hardwood or tile flooring to act as a frame for the rug’s neutral palette, ensuring the rug feels like a curated centerpiece rather than wall-to-wall carpeting.

To ensure a seamless delivery of your 9' x 13' rug, we recommend clearing all pathways and measuring entryways and hallways to confirm the rolled rug can be moved into the room without obstruction. Our delivery professionals will handle the heavy lifting and placement, but having your existing furniture moved out of the central area beforehand will allow the team to position the rug precisely. Once unrolled, it may take 24–48 hours for the edges to lay completely flat; weighting the corners or gently "reverse rolling" the ends can speed up this process.

To keep the pewter shades and striped detail of this rug looking sharp, regular maintenance is essential. Based on our care standards for high-quality synthetic fibers, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week to prevent dust from settling into the pile. For accidental spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can spread the stain. You can spot-clean with a mixture of mild detergent and cool water. For a deeper refresh, this material construction is typically compatible with periodic steam cleaning to lift flattened fibers and restore the rug’s original texture.

A 9' x 13' rug is categorized as a "mansion size" rug, making it ideal for anchoring expansive, open-concept spaces. For a room of this scale, our design experts recommend a layout where all furniture legs—including the sofa, accent chairs, and coffee table—rest entirely on the rug. This prevents the "floating rug" look and creates a defined, luxurious seating zone. If you are using an L-shaped sectional, this oversized dimension is particularly effective as it ensures the rug extends beyond both ends of the seating, providing a cohesive and balanced foundation.
