Evita Silver 5' X 8' Rug

A 5' x 8' rug is an ideal choice for urban apartment living or compact rooms. This versatile mid-size rug is perfect for anchoring a seating area; our design experts recommend placing it under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa resting on the edges to create a cohesive and defined footprint without overwhelming a smaller space.

This rug’s neutral silver-gray color family and abstract design make it a versatile foundation for modern interiors. In rooms with solid-colored or neutral furniture, the pattern adds visual movement and depth without clashing. If your decor features dark wood or metallic accents, the silver tones reflect light to brighten the room and create a polished, cohesive look.

While not required, our care guide strongly recommends pairing any area rug with a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides essential cushioning, prevents the rug from slipping on smooth floor surfaces, and protects both the rug’s backing and your flooring from premature wear. For a hand-woven rug, a pad also helps maintain its shape and prevents bunching under furniture.

Because art silk is a delicate material valued for its soft texture and visual depth, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas such as bedrooms, home offices, or formal sitting rooms. In these spaces, the silver-gray abstract design serves as a durable and sophisticated focal point. For households with heavy activity, placing the rug in rooms where it won't face high abrasive wear will ensure the artisanal fibers remain beautiful for years.

Shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality hand-woven rugs. It occurs as loose fibers from the artisanal weaving process work their way to the surface. To manage this, we recommend vacuuming regularly with a suction-only setting—avoiding a beater bar, which can pull at the delicate art silk fibers. You will find that shedding naturally dissipates over time as the rug settles into your home.

To preserve the delicate texture and sheen of the hand-woven construction, this rug should be spot cleaned only. If a spill occurs, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture from setting; never place the rug in a washing machine. For routine maintenance, frequent light vacuuming is the most effective way to keep the abstract pattern looking its best.

Art silk, also known as viscose, is a premium material prized for its luxurious, silk-like sheen and exceptionally soft feel underfoot. In a precision hand-woven piece like this one, the delicate fibers capture and reflect light, creating a sophisticated "glow" that adds an upscale, modern aesthetic to your living space.
