Evita Sand 9' X 12' Rug

A 9' x 12' rug is an ideal choice for anchoring large living spaces or open-concept great rooms. To achieve a professional, balanced look, we recommend following the "front legs" rule: ensure the rug is large enough so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest comfortably on it. For the best visual proportions, our design experts suggest leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of the rug and your walls.

While art silk offers a stunning aesthetic, viscose fibers are naturally more absorbent than synthetics. In high-humidity areas or coastal environments, we recommend placing this rug in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled room. Keeping the rug away from damp entryways or areas with high moisture exposure will help maintain the integrity of the weave and the vibrancy of the "Sand" finish over time.

To preserve the delicate art silk fibers, this rug should never be placed in a washing machine. For the best results, our care guide recommends spot cleaning only. If a spill occurs, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture. Avoid rubbing, as viscose is highly absorbent and excessive moisture or friction can alter the natural luster and texture of the hand-woven pile.

"Art silk" is a high-quality viscose fiber meticulously crafted to replicate the luxurious sheen and velvet-soft texture of genuine silk. This rug features a precise hand-woven construction, which provides a sophisticated, modern aesthetic and a unique artisanal feel underfoot. Because it is hand-woven, you can expect a level of craftsmanship and detail that adds significant value to your home decor.

Yes, initial shedding is a common and natural characteristic of hand-woven art silk and viscose fibers. It is not a sign of a defect and will typically dissipate over time. Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar to manage the fibers as they settle, ensuring your rug remains a beautiful focal point in your room.

Absolutely. A 9' x 12' rug is a preferred size for formal dining rooms. At 0.5 inches in height, this rug provides a low-profile surface that allows dining chairs to slide easily. To ensure the best experience, verify that the rug extends 24 to 30 inches beyond the edges of your table so that chair legs remain on the rug even when guests are sitting or standing.
