Elam Blue 5'1 X 8' Rug
SKU: 86413982
Let there be light - even when there's not. The dazzling array of vibrant colors and abstract patterns of our Elam Collection were inspired by the way light dances and refracts off a reflective surface. Bring the illusion of sunlight and movement to even the darkest of spaces. When vacuuming use without a beater bar or one where you can set the bar to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has variable power settings, set on low. Spot clean stains immediately with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and blot dry. Rotate for even wear.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
What size room is a 5x8 area rug best suited for?
A 5'1" x 8' rug is a versatile mid-size option ideal for smaller living rooms, home offices, or bedrooms. In a living room, it works perfectly to anchor a seating area by placing it under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the edges. For those in urban apartments or smaller floor plans, this scale provides enough coverage to define a space without overwhelming the room.
What is the best way to vacuum and maintain the texture of this rug?
To preserve the integrity of the fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming without a beater bar. If your vacuum has a beater bar that cannot be turned off, set it to the highest pile setting and use low power. This prevents the mechanical brush from pulling or fraying the weave. Additionally, spot clean any spills immediately using a mild detergent, followed by a thorough rinse and blotting until dry.
Should I use a rug pad with this rectangular area rug?
While this rug features a durable backing, using a high-quality rug pad is always recommended. A pad provides essential grip to prevent sliding on hard floors like tile or hardwood, adds an extra layer of cushioning for comfort, and acts as a buffer that protects both the rug’s underside and your flooring from friction-related wear.
Is this modern geometric rug a good choice for homes with pets?
This rug's low 0.5-inch depth and dense modern construction make it a practical choice for pet owners. The shorter pile height prevents pet hair from becoming deeply embedded, making it easier to remove with a standard vacuum. The multi-colored geometric pattern in blue, green, and gray is also excellent at subtly concealing minor pet hair or small tracks between regular cleanings.
Can this patterned rug help brighten a room with limited natural light?
Yes. This specific collection features vibrant colors and abstract geometric patterns designed to mimic the way light refracts and dances off reflective surfaces. This "illusion of sunlight" makes it an excellent choice for basement dens, interior hallways, or any space that feels naturally dark, as the light-toned beige and gray accents help bounce existing light around the room.
How can I ensure my rug wears evenly in a high-traffic area?
For rugs placed in high-traffic zones like entryways or main living areas, we recommend rotating the rug 180 degrees every six months. This ensures that foot traffic and sunlight exposure are distributed evenly across the surface, preventing specific paths or sections from fading or wearing down faster than others.
