Evita Teal 5' X 8' Rug

To protect the delicate hand-woven art silk fibers, you should only spot clean this rug. Our care guidelines recommend immediately blotting spills with a clean, dry white cloth to absorb liquid—never rub, as friction can distort the pile. For the best long-term results and to prevent permanent fiber damage, this rug should never be placed in a washing machine.

Yes, some shedding is a completely normal and expected characteristic of hand-woven art silk rugs. This occurs as loose fibers from the weaving process work their way to the surface. Based on our experience with this specific construction, the shedding is temporary and will dissipate over time with regular, gentle maintenance.

Because art silk (viscose) is naturally more absorbent than synthetic fibers, it can be sensitive to moisture. For shoppers in humid or coastal climates, we recommend placing this rug in a climate-controlled room where humidity levels are kept stable. This ensures the fibers maintain their signature luster and prevents the material from becoming heavy or losing its shape. In drier climates, this rug is an excellent choice for adding a cool, smooth texture to a room.

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile size ideal for anchoring smaller vignettes or defining specific zones within a larger room. With dimensions of 60"W x 96"D, our placement expertise suggests it is perfectly scaled to sit beneath an accent table, a small four-person dining set, or a home office desk. In a living room, it works best when used to unify a conversational area by placing the front legs of a loveseat or accent chairs on the outer edges of the rug.

Art silk, also known as viscose, is a premium material engineered to replicate the high-end sheen and incredibly soft underfoot feel of genuine silk. This material choice provides a sophisticated "floor art" aesthetic, as the fibers catch and reflect light differently depending on the angle. Because this rug is hand-woven with precision, it offers a level of craftsmanship and texture that adds significant value and a modern touch to any interior space.

A distressed teal pattern is an excellent choice for adding visual interest without overwhelming a space. The "distressed" element provides a faded, weathered look that makes the bold teal color feel more like a neutral foundation. This allows the rug to complement a wide range of decor styles, from sleek modern apartments to more transitional suburban homes. It pairs exceptionally well with charcoal grays, crisp whites, or warm wood tones found in contemporary dining and living room sets.
