Castin Blue 9'6 x 13' Rug

Absolutely. The combination of organic jute fibers and soft blue and ivory tones makes it a perfect foundation for coastal or casual decor. The striped pattern and hand-tufted texture evoke an airy, seaside feel. Additionally, jute is a breathable natural fiber, which is a popular and practical choice for homes in humid or coastal climates.

Yes, we highly recommend using a rug pad with any area rug. A pad provides essential grip to prevent shifting or bunching, which is especially important for a large 9'6" x 13' rug. Beyond safety, a quality pad adds an extra layer of cushioning and protects both the rug’s hand-tufted backing and your hardwood or tile floors from long-term wear.

To preserve the integrity of the rayon and natural jute fibers, professional cleaning is recommended for this item. For routine maintenance, we suggest vacuuming regularly using the suction-only setting; avoid using a beater bar, as it can pull at the hand-tufted fibers. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. It is important to avoid excess moisture, as natural jute can be sensitive to water.

A rug of this scale, often called a "mansion size," is ideal for large, open-concept spaces or grand living rooms. Our design expertise suggests that for a cohesive look, a rug this size should be large enough so that all furniture legs—sofa, accent chairs, and coffee table—sit comfortably on the rug. This anchors the seating area and prevents the furniture from looking "detached" from the space. For smaller rooms, we offer this same style in more compact dimensions, such as 8' x 10'6" or 5'3" x 7'5".

It is normal for new hand-tufted rugs, particularly those incorporating natural fibers, to experience some light shedding during the first few months. This is a standard characteristic of the construction and not a sign of poor quality. Regular vacuuming will help the fibers settle and significantly reduce shedding over time.

This rug is hand-tufted from a blend of 78% rayon and 22% jute, a combination that balances organic texture with refined softness. Jute provides a sturdy, eco-friendly base known for its natural durability, while the high rayon content adds a silky sheen and a much softer feel underfoot than a standard 100% jute rug. This makes it an excellent choice for living areas where you want a natural, textured look without sacrificing comfort.
