Evita Sand 8' X 10' Rug

While art silk offers unmatched beauty and a premium feel, it is a more delicate material than heavy-duty synthetics like polypropylene. It is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas. For households with active pets or young children, we recommend placing this rug in "softer" zones of the home—such as a bedroom or a formal living room—rather than a high-traffic entryway or mudroom. This ensures the luxurious finish remains protected from heavy wear and tear.

Yes, initial shedding is a common characteristic of high-quality hand-woven constructions and is not a sign of a defect. This happens as small, loose fibers from the weaving process work their way to the surface. To manage this effectively, vacuum the rug regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar. You will find that the shedding naturally dissipates over time as the rug settles into your home.

Absolutely. The light "Sand" color is an excellent choice for opening up a space. Lighter, neutral tones reflect more natural and ambient light, which helps a room feel more airy and expansive. In a compact room or urban apartment, this palette provides a versatile foundation that brightens the area and coordinates effortlessly with various decor styles without overwhelming the room's footprint.

For a standard living room, an 8' x 10' rug serves as an excellent anchor. We recommend following the "front legs" rule: position the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This creates a unified and grounded seating area. In larger rooms, you should also consider the "18-inch rule," leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and the walls to maintain a balanced, professionally designed look.

To preserve the delicate art silk fibers and the integrity of the hand-woven pile, this rug should be spot-cleaned only; it is not suitable for a washing machine. If a spill occurs, our care guidelines recommend blotting immediately with a clean, dry white cloth to absorb the liquid—avoid scrubbing, as this can distort the fibers. Because viscose is a highly absorbent material, it is best kept in dry environments to maintain its signature texture and sheen.

This rug is hand-woven from art silk (viscose), a material prized in the furniture industry for its high-end aesthetic and exceptionally soft, silk-like luster. It provides a sophisticated sheen that shifts beautifully depending on the lighting and the angle of the pile. Because art silk is a refined fiber, it is ideal for spaces where you want to prioritize luxury and a plush feel underfoot, such as a master bedroom or a formal sitting area.
