Evita Sand 5' X 8' Rug

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile choice for anchoring specific zones within a home. For living rooms, this size is ideal for grounding a coffee table and the front legs of a sofa, helping to define the seating area without overwhelming the space. In a dining room, it typically accommodates a 4-person table. Our design experts recommend following the "18-inch rule," leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls to maintain a balanced, intentional look.

This rug is crafted with hand-woven viscose, often referred to as "art silk" for its ability to mimic the high-end shimmer and luxurious softness of genuine silk. This material gives the rug a sophisticated, multi-tonal sheen that catches the light beautifully, making it an excellent choice for modern or contemporary spaces where you want to add a touch of floor art and elegance.

The Evita rug in Sand belongs to the yellow-family palette, offering a warm, neutral tone that works exceptionally well in bright, sunny rooms. While light-colored rugs are known to make a space feel larger and more open, the hand-woven art silk construction adds a layer of depth that prevents the color from looking flat. It is a perfect choice for coastal-inspired interiors or modern layouts that feature natural wood and airy textures.

Yes, some shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality hand-woven viscose rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This typically occurs as loose fibers from the weaving process work their way to the surface. We recommend regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar; you will find that the shedding dissipates over time as the fibers settle into the weave.

To preserve the delicate art silk fibers, this rug should never be placed in a washing machine. For best results, our care guidelines suggest blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture from soaking into the viscose. For deeper maintenance, professional cleaning is recommended. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as viscose is highly absorbent and sensitive to moisture.
