Evita Teal 9' X 12' Rug

A 9' x 12' rug is an ideal "anchor" for large living spaces. For a sophisticated, cohesive look, we recommend a layout where all furniture legs—sofa, accent chairs, and coffee table—sit entirely on the rug. In a dining room setting, this size ensures that when chairs are pulled out, all four legs remain on the rug, providing a stable surface and preventing the edges from curling.

While this rug has a comfortable 0.5-inch height, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides essential "grip" to prevent a large 9' x 12' rug from sliding on hard surfaces, which is vital for safety. Additionally, a pad acts as a shock absorber, reducing the friction between the rug and your floor to significantly extend the lifespan of the hand-woven construction.

Viscose is a plant-based fiber known for being breathable and cool to the touch, which can be very comfortable in warmer regions. However, because art silk is highly absorbent, it is best used in climate-controlled indoor environments. In humid or coastal areas, ensuring your home has consistent air conditioning or ventilation will help keep the fibers dry and maintain the rug's soft, silk-like texture over time.

This rug features a hand-woven art silk (viscose) construction, which provides a luxurious, high-end sheen and an exceptionally soft feel underfoot. While it adds significant aesthetic value, viscose is a more delicate fiber best suited for medium-to-low traffic areas, such as a formal dining room or a primary bedroom. To preserve its "floor art" quality, we recommend placing it in spaces where it can be admired without the heavy wear of a mudroom or main entryway.

To maintain the integrity of the art silk fibers, immediate action is key. Our care guidelines recommend blotting spills instantly with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can damage the fiber's natural sheen. Because viscose is sensitive to moisture, avoid saturating the area with water or using harsh household chemicals. For deep cleaning, we recommend professional services; this rug should never be placed in a washing machine.

Not at all. Some shedding is a natural characteristic of hand-woven rugs and is expected with art silk materials. This occurs as loose fibers from the weaving process work their way to the surface. This shedding is temporary and will gradually dissipate over time with regular, gentle vacuuming. For best results, use a vacuum without a beater bar to protect the delicate hand-woven fibers.

Yes, the distressed, abstract design combined with the multi-tonal teal palette is highly effective at masking minor signs of wear and everyday debris. Unlike solid-colored rugs, the "distressed" aesthetic naturally hides pet hair and small particles between vacuuming sessions, making it an excellent choice for households that want a high-fashion look that is also forgiving of daily life.
