Garkani Blue 8' x 11' Oval Rug

Yes. This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fiber specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to stains. Unlike some natural fibers that can trap pet hair or absorb odors, polypropylene is non-porous and "finespun" for a smooth finish that is easy to maintain. This makes it an ideal solution for high-traffic living rooms or entryways where both comfort and pet-friendly durability are priorities.

Oval rugs are often preferred for smaller living spaces or urban apartments because they take up less visual "weight" than rectangular rugs. Because the corners are rounded off, the rug allows more of the underlying flooring to show, which can make a compact room feel larger and more open. Its 8' x 11' dimensions provide ample coverage for a seating area while the oval shape keeps the walkway areas clear and unobstructed.

Absolutely. This rug features a specialized "all-weather" construction, meaning it is designed to handle exposure to moisture and sunlight better than standard indoor-only rugs. Its coastal-inspired braided pattern and airy blue hue make it a perfect fit for sunrooms, covered patios, or homes in coastal regions where humidity and salt air are common environmental factors.

While high-quality polypropylene is naturally resistant to spills and fading, we recommend professional cleaning to ensure the longevity of the braided weave. For routine daily care, regular vacuuming is recommended; however, it is best to use a vacuum without a beater bar (or with the beater bar turned off) to protect the "pebble-inspired" braided texture and prevent the fibers from fraying over time.

To ensure a professional look, we recommend following the "24-inch rule." A rug should ideally extend about two feet beyond the edges of your dining table on all sides. This ensures that when guests pull out their chairs, the chair legs remain securely on the rug surface. At 8' x 11', this oval rug provides a generous foundation that works beautifully under most standard 6-to-8 person dining sets, helping to anchor the room while creating a softer visual profile than a traditional rectangle.

An oval rug is a sophisticated design tool for "softening" a room's aesthetic. If your space features many angular elements—such as a square coffee table, a boxy sofa, or modern architectural lines—the curved edges of an oval rug create a more organic, fluid feel. This shape is particularly effective in smaller rooms or open-concept layouts, as the lack of hard corners helps the rug blend into the floor space, preventing the room from feeling "boxed in" and improving the overall sense of flow.
