Evita Brown 4' X 6' Rug

Yes, initial shedding is a common characteristic of high-quality, hand-woven art silk (viscose) construction. This is simply the release of excess fibers and will naturally dissipate over time. Based on our expertise with this material, we recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar. This protects the delicate fibers and preserves the rug’s aesthetic as it settles into your home environment.

The distressed pattern and earthy brown and camel tones of this rug are designed to add immediate warmth and a grounded feel to a space. These earth tones are versatile and timeless, allowing the rug to blend seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional decor. Because this piece is crafted as "floor art" with a delicate design, it is particularly effective at adding value and aesthetic appeal when placed under accent tables or in formal seating arrangements.

Viscose is a cellulose-based fiber that is naturally breathable but also highly absorbent. In humid or coastal environments, it is best to use this rug in climate-controlled indoor spaces. This prevents the fibers from absorbing excess environmental moisture, which can alter the rug's texture or sheen over time. To extend the life of the rug in these regions, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality rug pad to improve air circulation and provide a protective barrier between the rug and the floor.

While viscose offers a luxurious sheen and exceptional softness similar to real silk, it is most effectively used in low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms, offices, or formal dining rooms. Because these fibers are highly absorbent and delicate, we recommend placing the rug in spaces where it can serve as a sophisticated accent. For households with pets, the rug is a beautiful decorative addition, though immediate spot cleaning is essential for any accidents to maintain the integrity of the art silk.

A 4' x 6' rug is an excellent choice for grounding smaller spaces or defining specific zones within a larger room. In a living room, it works best placed under a coffee table to anchor a central seating group. For a balanced look, our design experts suggest the "18-inch rule," which leaves about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls to ensure the space feels proportional. If you are placing it in a bedroom, this size is ideal for providing a soft landing alongside a bed or beneath a reading nook chair.

To preserve the rug’s construction, it should be spot cleaned only and should never be placed in a washing machine. Viscose is sensitive to moisture, so we recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. According to our professional care guides, you should avoid rubbing the fibers, which can damage the luster of the art silk. If needed, a small amount of mild detergent can be used, but the area should be kept as dry as possible.
