Kares Ivory 5' x 8' Rug

A 5' x 8' rug is an incredibly versatile size. In a living room, it is ideal for defining a seating area in smaller apartments or open-concept spaces by placing the front legs of your furniture on the rug. It also serves as a perfect foundation for a home office desk or can be placed under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to provide a comfortable, stylish landing for your feet.

Natural fibers like jute are highly sought after for coastal or humid climates because they are breathable and contribute to an organic, breezy aesthetic. This rug’s "Easy-Jute" blend is crafted for a transitional lifestyle, providing that classic coastal look while being significantly easier to refresh through machine washing—a key benefit in environments where salt air or moisture can often be a concern.

Yes. Jute is naturally one of the most durable plant-based fibers available, and this "Easy-Jute" version is specifically engineered to be more resilient than traditional natural rugs. The low-pile construction and GRS Certified recycled fibers provide a stable surface that stands up to heavy foot traffic in busy hallways while maintaining a soft, casual feel underfoot.

Based on our expertise with natural and recycled fibers, we recommend vacuuming this rug carefully on the lowest setting without a beater bar to prevent fraying. For deep cleaning, the rug should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. To preserve the integrity of the geometric pattern and the ivory fibers, our care instructions recommend line drying and avoiding the use of bleach.

For active households, washable rugs offer a significant maintenance advantage. While traditional jute rugs can be difficult to clean once stained, this machine-washable rug allows you to simply roll it up and clean it in your home washing machine using cold water on a gentle cycle. This makes it a superior, long-term solution for areas where spills are frequent, ensuring the ivory color stays fresh without the need for professional cleaning services.

This rug is designed specifically to keep up with a busy lifestyle involving pets and kids. It is resistant to spills, stains, and the common smudges that occur in family spaces. Because it is machine-washable, you can maintain a hygienic environment for floor play, and the low-profile geometric weave is less likely to snag on pet claws compared to traditional high-pile or shag options.
