Kerrans Blue 7'7 x 10'5 Rug

A low-pile rug, such as this 2mm artist-designed piece, is highly practical for pet owners. The short fibers prevent pet hair and dander from becoming deeply embedded, allowing for more effective vacuuming. Furthermore, the tight weave is less likely to snag on claws. Because this rug also features a non-slip backing, it stays securely in place during activity, providing a safer environment for both pets and family members.

This estate-sized rug is an ideal choice for grounding a main seating area. For a cohesive look, our design experts recommend a size that allows at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest on the rug. At nearly 8 feet by 10.5 feet, this rectangular rug provides ample coverage to unify a furniture grouping without overwhelming the room, making it particularly well-suited for larger living rooms or beneath a queen or king-sized bed.

Based on our expertise with performance textiles, this rug is designed for easy maintenance. The 100% polyester composition is naturally stain-resistant, and the rug is explicitly rated as washable for deep cleaning. For day-to-day care, we recommend regular vacuuming and immediate spot-cleaning of spills with a mild detergent. The intricate abstract pattern by artist Emma Peal is not only aesthetically sophisticated but also practical, as the varied blue, gold, and black tones naturally help disguise minor everyday wear.

This rug is constructed from 100% polyester using a power-loomed technique, a combination known for exceptional resilience. Synthetic fibers like polyester are naturally resistant to stretching and shrinking, while the tight power-loomed weave ensures the fibers remain secure under heavy foot traffic. Additionally, the very low 2mm pile height is a strategic choice for busy households, as it is less prone to crushing or matting over time compared to high-pile alternatives.

Yes, synthetic materials like polyester are often preferred for humid environments. Unlike natural fibers which can absorb moisture and potentially develop mold or mildew, polyester is hydrophobic and quick-drying. This makes it a reliable choice for homes in coastal or high-humidity regions where maintaining a fresh, dry indoor environment is a priority.

While many area rugs require an additional pad to prevent sliding, this specific rug is manufactured with a built-in non-slip backing. This feature is designed to keep the rug securely anchored to hard flooring surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate, reducing the risk of bunching or tripping. This makes it an excellent, "ready-to-use" solution for high-traffic zones or children's play areas.
