Erlean 5' x 7' Gray Rug

This rug is perfectly scaled for urban apartment living. Its 5' x 7' dimensions allow you to define a "living room" zone in a studio or small one-bedroom without overwhelming the floor plan. The ultra-soft texture also provides an added benefit for apartment dwellers: it acts as a high-quality sound dampener, helping to reduce noise transfer and making your personal space feel quieter and more secluded.

To preserve the super plush texture of a shag rug, maintenance requires a specific approach. You should vacuum regularly using a straight suction vacuum only. It is critical to never use a beater bar or power head on this type of rug, as the rotating brushes can pull and damage the long, delicate yarns. For any loose yarns that appear over time, our expertise suggests always trimming them with scissors rather than pulling them to prevent further unraveling.

While this rug offers exceptional comfort underfoot, super plush and high-pile textures are best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas such as bedrooms, nurseries, or dens. In high-traffic zones like entryways, the long fibers may flatten more quickly over time. For maximum longevity, we suggest placing this rug in areas where comfort and "soft landing" are the priority.

Yes, the color palette of this rug is excellent for opening up a space. Light-colored rugs in shades of ivory and soft gray reflect more light, which naturally helps a room feel brighter and more expansive. The subtle abstract pattern adds modern visual interest without the heavy, boxed-in feel that some traditional borders can create, making it a strategic choice for smaller apartments or rooms with limited natural light.

A 5' x 7' rug is a versatile choice for smaller living areas or specific zones within an open-concept layout. To ensure a balanced look, we recommend placing the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it, which anchors the furniture and prevents the rug from looking like it’s "floating" in the center of the room. This specific size (approximately 89"l x 61"w) is also ideal for centering under a coffee table to create a cozy, defined seating nook.

An abstract pattern provides a sophisticated bridge between different decor styles. Because it lacks a rigid, symmetrical design, it can easily complement both modern, minimalist furniture and more traditional, transitional pieces. Additionally, the varied shades of gray and ivory in an abstract motif are excellent at disguising minor wear and everyday debris, making it as practical as it is stylish for a lived-in home.

For minor spills, we recommend immediate action by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. You can spot clean using a mixture of mild soap and water. Based on our material care guidelines, it is important to avoid harsh chemicals that could compromise the "ultra-soft" finish of the fibers. Always blot rather than scrub to protect the integrity of the plush texture.
