Grantley Gray 6'6 Round Rug

A 6'6" round rug is a versatile design tool, particularly effective at softening the linear architecture of a room. This size is ideal for defining an intimate dining area under a circular table, grounding a high-traffic foyer, or creating a cozy reading nook in a bedroom. Our design experts recommend the "18-inch rule," leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and the walls to maintain a balanced, intentional look.

Absolutely. A round rug is often a superior choice for smaller urban spaces because the lack of sharp corners creates a sense of "flow" and movement, making a room feel more open and less cluttered. The 6'6" diameter is specifically suited for apartment living, providing enough surface area to anchor a furniture grouping without overwhelming the square footage of the room.

This rug features a natural jute backing, a material prized for its eco-friendly properties and strength. However, natural fibers like jute can be susceptible to moisture. In humid or coastal environments, we recommend placing this rug in well-ventilated areas and ensuring any spills are dried promptly. The dense pile provides a substantial barrier, but maintaining a dry environment will ensure the jute backing remains sturdy and resistant to mold or mildew over time.

While this rug is constructed with a sturdy jute backing, we strongly recommend using a rug pad to protect both the rug and your flooring. A pad provides essential grip to prevent shifting and bunching, which can cause premature wear on the fibers. More importantly, it adds a layer of cushioning that works in tandem with the heavy pile to extend the rug’s lifespan by absorbing the impact of footsteps.

Yes, this rug is specifically engineered for longevity in busy households. It features an extremely heavy, dense pile and a heavy surface texture, which provides superior resilience against foot traffic compared to thinner alternatives. Additionally, the natural jute backing offers excellent structural integrity, helping the rug retain its shape and withstand the daily rigors of a main living area or hallway.

To maintain the beauty and structural integrity of this rug, regular care is essential. Based on the manufacturer’s guidelines, you should vacuum the rug frequently to remove grit that can settle into the dense pile. For spills, immediate action is key: blot the area with a dry cloth to prevent moisture from reaching the natural jute backing, as natural fibers are sensitive to water. This rug is not suitable for dry cleaning; for stubborn spots, use a mild detergent and minimal water.
