Grafchill Ivory 5' x 7'6 Rug

Yes, placing an area rug over existing carpet is a sophisticated way to introduce texture and define a seating area. For the best results, ensure the rug's modern abstract pattern contrasts with your carpet's color to create a dynamic focal point. Using a rug on top of carpet also serves a practical purpose by protecting high-traffic zones of your flooring from premature wear.

Rugs crafted from a blend of polypropylene and polyester are highly resilient and among the easiest to maintain. Based on our material expertise, we recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling into the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot-clean using a mild detergent and cool water. Because these synthetic fibers are durable and non-absorbent, this rug can also be steam-cleaned as needed for a deeper refresh.

A 5' x 7'6" rug is a versatile mid-size option ideal for anchoring a specific zone. In a living room, it is perfectly scaled to sit under a coffee table and the front legs of surrounding seating. For a dining area, this size is best suited for small, compact sets. If you are decorating a larger open-concept room or have a king-size bed, we recommend exploring the 7'9" x 10' variation of this design to ensure the rug is proportional to your furniture and doesn't appear to "float" in the room.

Polypropylene and polyester are naturally moisture-resistant materials, making this rug a superior choice for humid environments or coastal homes. Unlike natural fibers that can trap moisture, these synthetic materials are inherently resistant to mold and mildew. This ensures that the rug retains its structural integrity and beautiful textures even in damp or humid conditions where other materials might fail.

This rug is an excellent solution for high-traffic households. The power-loomed construction is meticulously designed to mimic the look and feel of a premium hand-knotted piece while utilizing synthetic fibers known for their stain resistance and durability. Furthermore, the multi-tonal blue, brown, and ivory abstract pattern is strategically effective at disguising the minor wear and tear common in homes with active kids and pets.

While this rug features a durable, well-constructed backing, we highly recommend pairing it with a quality rug pad. A pad serves several critical functions: it provides a layer of safety by preventing the rug from shifting on smooth surfaces, adds extra cushioning for comfort underfoot, and protects both the rug’s backing and your hard flooring from long-term wear.
