Evita Teal 8' X 10' Rug

To preserve the delicate viscose fibers and hand-woven integrity, we recommend spot cleaning only for best results. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture; never rub, as this can damage the pile. Consistent with our expert care guidelines for high-end materials, this rug should never be placed in a washing machine, as excessive saturation can alter the texture and sheen of the art silk.

This rug is crafted from viscose, often referred to as "art silk" for its luxurious sheen and incredibly soft, silk-like texture. Because it is precisely hand-woven, each piece carries a level of artisanal detail and unique character that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. This construction method ensures a high-density feel underfoot, making it a sophisticated addition to any contemporary space.

This rug is best suited for medium-to-low traffic areas, such as a formal living room, primary bedroom, or a dining room used for special occasions. While the art silk construction offers unparalleled aesthetic appeal and softness, viscose is a delicate fiber. For homes with active pets, we recommend placing this rug in areas where it can serve as a beautiful focal point without the heavy wear of high-traffic entryways.

Yes, some shedding is a completely normal characteristic of high-quality hand-woven viscose rugs. This is simply a result of the artisan weaving process and is not a sign of a defect. You will find that shedding is most common during the first few months of use and will naturally dissipate over time with regular, gentle vacuuming.

Because viscose is a cellulose-based fiber that is naturally absorbent, we recommend using this rug in climate-controlled indoor environments. In humid coastal regions, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature will help preserve the rug’s "silk" sheen and prevent the fibers from absorbing excess moisture from the air, ensuring your contemporary floor art remains a centerpiece for years to come.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile size that works exceptionally well in both spaces. In a living room, it is typically large enough to ground a seating area by allowing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest comfortably on the rug. For a dining room, this size is ideal for tables seating six to eight people, as it provides the necessary 24-30 inches of clearance beyond the table edge so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
