Inverness Valley Gray 7'10 x 10'9 Rug

Based on our care guidelines for synthetic fibers, we recommend vacuuming regularly to prevent dirt from settling into the pile. To preserve the heat-set fibers, use a vacuum without a beater bar or set it to the highest floor setting. For accidental spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot clean using a mild detergent and cool water. Because polypropylene is resilient, it can also be steam-cleaned as needed for a deeper refresh.

At approximately 8' x 11' (7'10" x 10'9"), this rug is a standard "anchor" size for large living rooms or dining areas. For a cohesive look, our experts recommend following the "front legs rule," where at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs sit on the rug to unify the seating area. In a dining room, this size is ideal for a table seating 6 to 8 people, ensuring that chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out. Remember the "18-inch rule"—leave about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls to maintain a balanced, airy feel.

This rug features a sophisticated abstract pattern that blends gray and brown hues, creating a versatile "greige" palette. This complex tonal blending is a strategic design choice—it allows the rug to bridge the gap between cool-toned modern furniture and warmer wood accents. Additionally, the abstract, multi-tonal pattern is highly effective at camouflaging small debris or daily wear, making it a practical yet stylish focal point for a contemporary home.

We strongly recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality rug pad. A pad serves three critical functions: it provides a layer of cushioning for added comfort, prevents the rug from sliding on hard surfaces (essential for safety), and acts as a buffer that protects both the rug's backing and your flooring from premature wear. For this large-scale rug, a pad also helps it lay perfectly flat and prevents "rippling" over time.

This rug is an excellent choice for active households. It is machine-made from 100% heat-set Courtron™ polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber naturally resistant to staining, fading, and moisture. The "heat-setting" process ensures the fibers maintain their twisted shape and soft texture over time, preventing the rug from looking "crushed" even in busy areas. For pet owners, the tight weave is also less likely to snag on claws compared to looped or natural fiber rugs.

Yes, the polypropylene construction makes this rug highly resilient in humid or coastal environments found in regions like Florida and Texas. Unlike natural fibers like wool or jute, synthetic polypropylene does not absorb moisture from the air, which helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew. This makes it a breathable and long-lasting foundation for your home, even in damp conditions.
