Daylee Ivory 5' x 8' Rug

For daily maintenance, we recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling deep into the fibers. For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Based on our expertise with this material, polypropylene is very easy to maintain; however, we always suggest the use of a non-skid rug pad. A pad not only keeps the rug securely in place on smooth surfaces but also provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects the backing and extends the overall life of the rug.

This rug features a transitional style that bridges the gap between traditional and modern decor. The ivory and slate color palette serves as a sophisticated neutral base; the ivory tones can brighten a room with darker furniture, while the slate accents provide a beautiful contrast against lighter upholstery. The over-dyed, antique look adds a layer of "lived-in" character that complements both sleek, contemporary pieces and classic, ornate furniture.

Yes, this rug is crafted from enhanced polypropylene yarns, a material specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and resilience. Unlike some natural fibers, synthetic polypropylene is highly resistant to wear and maintains its structural integrity in busy households. Its power-loomed construction in Turkey ensures a tight, consistent weave that stands up well to heavy foot traffic without the shedding often associated with wool rugs.

Polypropylene is an ideal choice for humid climates, such as those found in coastal or southern regions. Because the fibers are synthetic, they are naturally moisture-resistant and do not absorb water the way cotton or jute rugs do. This makes the rug significantly less susceptible to mold, mildew, or the "musty" odors that can develop in damp environments, ensuring a fresher home interior.

This rug is highly recommended for families and pet owners. The non-porous nature of polypropylene means it is inherently stain-resistant, allowing most spills to be blotted away before they set into the fibers. Additionally, the low-profile, power-loomed pile is less likely to trap pet dander or allergens compared to high-pile shag rugs, making it easier to keep clean with regular vacuuming.

The over-dye technique gives the rug a fashionable, saturated appearance where the oriental motifs appear slightly faded or "distressed." This creates a classy, antique aesthetic that feels like a curated heirloom piece. It is particularly effective for adding visual depth to a room without the pattern becoming overwhelming, allowing it to blend seamlessly into your overall design scheme.
