Damone Light Gray 10' x 14'1 Rug

For this specific cotton rug, immediate action is the key to preservation. You should blot any liquid stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. We strongly advise against using water, as moisture can damage or discolor natural cotton fibers. For tougher spots, our expertise suggests using a dry rug shampoo or baking soda rather than traditional wet cleaners. This "dry-clean only" approach helps maintain the structural integrity and the subtle light gray color palette of the rug.

Because of its artisanal, handmade nature, this rug should be treated with more care than synthetic, machine-made varieties. To preserve the integrity of the natural cotton fibers, our care guidelines recommend taking the rug outdoors for a thorough shake to remove dry debris. For even wear, it is essential to rotate the rug regularly, especially in rooms with uneven sunlight or foot traffic patterns, to ensure the light gray tones and fringed edges age gracefully over time.

This rug is painstakingly handwoven in India from 100% cotton, a natural fiber prized for its soft texture and breathable quality. Unlike mass-produced machine-made options, the artisanal hand-weaving process creates a unique, "one-of-a-kind" texture and a homespun look that adds organic warmth to rustic or transitional decor. The natural cotton construction provides a comfortable, exotic feel underfoot that is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms where comfort is a priority.

Yes, selecting a light-colored rug is a proven design strategy to make a space feel more open and airy. The light gray color family reflects more ambient light, which helps to visually expand the room's boundaries. Additionally, the rectangular striped pattern can guide the eye across the floor, creating a sense of depth and length. This makes it an excellent choice for transitional spaces that need a brighten-up or for suburban homes looking to create a more spacious, inviting atmosphere.

A rug of this substantial size—specifically 10' x 14'—is an ideal foundation for expansive spaces. In an open-concept layout, a rug this large serves to anchor your primary furniture grouping, such as a full sectional and accent chairs. To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "18-inch rule," which suggests leaving roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls. This creates a curated, professional feel while ensuring all furniture legs rest comfortably on the rug to avoid a "floating" appearance.
