Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will a light blue striped pattern work in a smaller room or apartment?
A light-colored rug like this "Evita Light Blue" is an excellent choice for making a room feel larger and more airy. The contemporary striped pattern provides subtle visual depth without being overwhelming, while the reflective art silk properties help brighten the space. It is a strategic choice for urban apartments or smaller rooms where you want to maximize the sense of openness.
How should I size a large area rug for a contemporary living room?
For a 9' x 12' rug, the ideal placement is anchoring a large seating area or "mansion-sized" room. In spacious open-concept homes, this size is large enough to ensure that the front legs—and often all legs—of your sofa and accent chairs rest comfortably on the rug. This technique grounds the furniture and prevents the "floating rug" look, creating a cohesive and defined conversation zone.
What are the benefits of a hand-woven art silk construction?
This rug is meticulously hand-woven using viscose, often referred to as "art silk" for its luxurious luster and soft, silk-like feel. This construction method provides a high level of detail and a unique, artisanal finish that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. The material's natural sheen allows it to catch and reflect light, adding a sophisticated, high-end aesthetic to any room.
My new rug is shedding; is this normal for this material?
Yes, shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality hand-woven viscose rugs. Based on our expertise with this material, you can expect some initial shedding as loose fibers work their way to the surface. This is not a defect and will gradually dissipate over time with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Can I use a carpet cleaner or washing machine on a viscose rug?
No, you should never place this rug in a washing machine or use a steam cleaner. Viscose is a delicate fiber that can be damaged by excess moisture or high heat. For the best results and to maintain the rug's integrity, our care guide recommends immediate spot cleaning for spills using a mild detergent and a clean cloth, or seeking professional rug cleaning services for deeper maintenance.
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas with pets and children?
While the hand-woven construction is durable, viscose is a luxury material best suited for medium to low-traffic areas, such as a primary bedroom or a formal dining room. In these settings, the rug acts as a beautiful piece of "floor art." For homes with active pets or very high-traffic entryways, we recommend placing this rug in a space where it can be admired without the heavy wear of a main thoroughfare.
