Elam Beige 10'6 x 16'5 Rug

In modern open-plan layouts, an oversized rug acts as a visual boundary. By placing this 10'6" x 16'5" rug in a specific zone, you clearly define the living or dining area without the need for walls. The beige and gray tones are versatile enough to bridge the gap between different decor styles, while the light-refracting abstract design adds a sense of movement and brightness to darker areas of a large floor plan.

While a rug of this substantial size is heavy enough to stay in place, we highly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides an extra layer of cushioning, which enhances the feel underfoot and helps absorb sound—a significant benefit in large rooms with hard flooring. Additionally, a pad protects both the rug’s backing and your floors from friction, extending the lifespan of your investment.

This "mansion-size" rug is designed for expansive spaces like great rooms, large formal dining areas, or open-concept living quarters. At over 16 feet in length, it provides the necessary scale to anchor a full furniture arrangement, allowing all legs of your sofas and chairs to rest comfortably on the rug. This creates a cohesive "room within a room" feel, which is essential for grounding large architectural spaces.

To preserve the integrity of the fibers and the vibrancy of the geometric pattern, we recommend vacuuming without a beater bar. If your vacuum doesn't allow you to turn the bar off, set it to the highest pile setting and use a low-power mode. This prevents the brush from pulling at the weave. For general maintenance, our care guidelines suggest rotating the rug regularly to ensure even wear and exposure to light.

Yes, a modern geometric rug is an excellent choice for busy households. The intricate, abstract pattern and multi-tonal beige and gray palette are naturally effective at disguising minor wear and foot traffic patterns that might be more obvious on a solid-colored rug. When combined with regular rotation, this design choice helps maintain a fresh appearance even in the primary gathering spots of your home.

For any spills, immediate action is key to preventing a permanent stain. Based on our expertise with these materials, you should blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible—never scrub, as this can fray the fibers. If needed, spot clean with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with cool water, then blot dry. For substantial or stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the rug's texture and color.
