Evita Blue 8' X 10' Rug

An 8' x 10' rug is one of the most versatile sizes for standard living rooms. To achieve a professional, anchored look, we recommend a layout where at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs sit on the rug. With this rug’s 96" x 120" dimensions, it provides a generous footprint that helps define the seating area and creates a cohesive, high-end feel in open-concept spaces or large family rooms.

Art silk, or viscose, is a premium material chosen for its exceptional softness and a lustrous, silk-like sheen that catches the light beautifully. Because this rug is hand-woven with art silk, it offers a sophisticated, multi-tonal appearance even as a solid color. This makes it a preferred choice for modern and contemporary interiors where a touch of understated luxury and a soft underfoot feel are the primary design goals.

Not at all. Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, hand-woven rugs and is actually a sign of the authentic construction process. For a rug with art silk fibers, you may notice some initial shedding as the loose fibers work their way to the surface. Based on our product expertise, this will dissipate over time with regular, gentle vacuuming. We recommend using a vacuum without a beater bar to maintain the integrity of the hand-woven pile.

Because of the delicate nature of art silk, moisture should be managed carefully. Our care guidelines recommend spot cleaning only for best results. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry white cloth to absorb the liquid—never scrub, as this can damage the fibers. This rug is not machine washable, and for significant stains, we suggest consulting a professional rug cleaner who specializes in viscose or silk-like materials.

While this rug is designed for beauty and comfort, art silk is a delicate fiber. We recommend placing it in lower-traffic areas such as bedrooms, formal living rooms, or under a dining table that is used occasionally. Its 0.5" pile height offers a sleek, low profile that works well under furniture, but for high-traffic zones like entryways where moisture and heavy soil are common, a more rugged synthetic fiber might be more suitable.

A solid rug in a cool tone like blue is an excellent strategic choice for smaller urban spaces. The uniform color helps to "de-clutter" the floor visually, making a room feel more expansive and serene. The art silk construction is particularly beneficial in rooms with low natural light, as its inherent sheen reflects available light, adding a sense of brightness and depth to the floor that a matte material would not provide.
