Castin Charcoal 9'6 x 13' Rug

Even for a large-scale rug like this one, a rug pad is highly recommended. Beyond preventing the rug from shifting or bunching, a pad provides an extra layer of shock absorption that protects the hand-tufted backing from wear against the subfloor. This simple addition helps extend the life of the rug and provides a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Natural fibers like jute are highly breathable and known for their ability to handle humidity, making them a popular choice for homes in coastal or southern regions. However, because the rayon fibers can be sensitive to moisture, we recommend keeping this rug in a climate-controlled indoor environment. The textured charcoal and ivory pattern is particularly practical for these regions, as the variegated tones help mask minor dust or sand that may be tracked in.

Hand-tufted rugs are crafted by artisans who punch fibers through a canvas backing to create a dense, plush pile. While this construction is quite resilient, the delicate nature of rayon means this specific rug is best suited for medium-traffic areas, such as primary bedrooms or formal sitting rooms. To maintain the integrity of the hand-tufted loops, our care experts recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar.

This rug features a strategic blend of 78% rayon and 22% jute, offering a sophisticated balance of durability and comfort. Jute provides a strong, eco-friendly foundation that adds a grounded, casual texture to the room. The high rayon content elevates the piece by introducing a silky softness and a subtle sheen that you won't find in 100% natural fiber rugs, making it much gentler on bare feet in bedrooms or family lounging areas.

Because of the unique rayon and jute composition, professional cleaning is recommended to ensure the rug retains its shape and texture. For daily maintenance and minor accidents, our guide suggests blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using water or steam cleaners at home, as moisture can cause natural jute fibers to swell or brown and may distort the soft rayon pile.

This "mansion-sized" rug is designed to anchor grand, open-concept spaces. Its generous 9'6" x 13' dimensions make it ideal for large living rooms, where it can comfortably accommodate all legs of a full seating arrangement or a sprawling sectional. In a formal dining room, this size ensures that even when chairs are pulled out from a large table, they remain securely on the rug, providing a cohesive and upscale look.
