Elam Blue 8' x 10' Rug

Yes. The Elam Collection was specifically inspired by the way light dances and refracts off reflective surfaces. By utilizing a dazzling array of vibrant colors and an abstract pattern that creates the illusion of sunlight, this rug is purposefully designed to bring a sense of movement and brightness to even the darkest spaces, such as rooms with small windows or north-facing light.

This rug's abstract design, featuring a palette of blue, gray, beige, and green, acts as a versatile artistic foundation. To create a cohesive modern aesthetic, we recommend pulling one of the rug's subtle accent colors into other elements of the room, such as decorative pillows, wall art, or a nearby accent chair. Using a multi-colored patterned rug to unify various decor elements is an effective way to make a space feel professionally curated.

Measuring your space is essential for a balanced look. An 8' x 10' area rug is a standard size designed to anchor most living rooms. Based on professional design principles, you should select a rug large enough that the front legs of your seating—such as your sofa and accent chairs—rest on the rug. This grounds the furniture grouping and prevents the rug from appearing to "float" in the center of the room.

To preserve the delicate fibers and maintain the rug's texture, you should vacuum without a beater bar. If your vacuum does not have a setting to disable the beater bar, set it to the highest pile setting. Additionally, if your vacuum has variable power, use the low setting. This prevents excessive friction and ensures the abstract pattern remains crisp over time.

This rug is well-suited for modern, active households. To ensure it handles high-traffic use effectively, you should rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly across the fibers. For added stability and to protect your flooring, we also suggest pairing the rug with a quality rug pad, which provides extra cushioning and keeps the rug securely in place.

To maintain the integrity of the material, our care guide recommends spot-cleaning stains immediately with a mild detergent. Rinse the area thoroughly with cool water and blot dry with a clean cloth. It is important to avoid scrubbing, as this can distort the rug's pile. For even wear across the surface, we also recommend rotating the rug regularly, especially in areas with consistent foot traffic or sunlight.
