Cleona Dark Brown 8' x 10' Rug

To ensure the "flowing dimension" of the pile stays consistent, our experts suggest rotating your rug 180 degrees every six months. This ensures that foot traffic and sunlight are distributed evenly across the surface. If certain areas begin to look matted under furniture, a gentle "re-fluffing" by hand or with a rug rake can help restore the original texture and lushness.

This rug is power-loomed from durable synthetic polypropylene yarns, which offer exceptional resistance to stains, moisture, and fading. Unlike natural wool rugs, which can shed significantly and require more delicate care, synthetic polypropylene is designed to be low-shedding and resilient. This makes it a high-performance choice for active homes that still want a posh, luxurious feel.

To maintain the lush texture of a thick-pile rug, it is best to use a vacuum with the beater bar turned off or adjusted to the highest pile setting. This prevents the spinning brush from pulling at the long fibers, which can cause premature wear. For periodic deeper maintenance, synthetic rugs like this one can be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent or professionally steam-cleaned to keep the fibers looking fresh.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "anchor" size that works well in most standard living rooms. For a balanced look, we recommend placing the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug to ground the seating area and prevent a "floating" appearance. In a bedroom, this size is ideal for placing under the lower two-thirds of a king-sized bed, providing a soft, cozy landing on both sides.

This rug is a practical option for pet owners because it is crafted from polypropylene, a material known for its moisture-resistant properties. Synthetic fibers are generally less prone to trapping pet dander and odors than natural materials. Additionally, the dark brown "mushroom" tone is excellent for disguising pet hair and minor tracking between cleanings, while the dense pile offers a comfortable lounging spot for four-legged family members.

The Cleona series is specifically designed to bring a "softening balance" to modern interiors. While clean-lined, contemporary furniture can sometimes feel rigid, the thick, lush pile of a shag rug adds organic texture and warmth. The solid dark brown color provides a grounded, sophisticated foundation that enhances the aesthetic of minimalist or West Coast-inspired decor.
