Kinipon Blue 5' x 7' Rug

This rug is a great choice for various climates, including humid coastal areas. Unlike 100% natural fiber rugs that can trap moisture, the inclusion of PET yarn adds a layer of moisture resistance and breathability. Additionally, PET yarn is highly colorfast and resistant to fading, which helps this rug maintain its vibrant blue tone even when placed in rooms that receive heavy afternoon sunlight.

Sustainably sourced PET yarn is a high-performance material made from repurposed plastic. This eco-conscious choice doesn't just benefit the environment; it enhances the rug's quality by providing a fiber that is inherently stain-resistant and more durable than many traditional textiles. It provides the cozy feel of a natural fiber rug with the modern performance required for a busy, sustainable home.

A 5' x 7' rug is an excellent choice for smaller seating areas or as a focal point in a mid-sized room. In a living room, this size typically works best when placed under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting just off the edge. To create a balanced look in an urban apartment or smaller den, aim to have the rug extend at least 6 inches beyond each side of your primary seating.

This rug offers a sophisticated balance of rugged durability and unexpected softness. The handspun Jute provides a sturdy, natural foundation that excels in high-traffic areas, while the sustainably sourced PET yarn—crafted from recycled plastics—adds a soft, wool-like feel underfoot. This combination ensures the rug is resilient enough for daily use while maintaining its casual, handwoven aesthetic.

Yes, this rug is well-suited for homes with pets. The PET yarn component is naturally resistant to moisture and staining, making it much easier to manage accidental messes compared to traditional fibers. Furthermore, the textured, handwoven blend of Jute and synthetic yarn is excellent at disguising pet hair and resisting the visible wear and tear often caused by active paws.

Based on the specific needs of these materials, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly using a suction-only setting; avoiding a beater bar will help prevent the handwoven fibers from fraying. For spills, spot clean immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from soaking into the natural Jute. To maintain the rug's longevity and appearance, our experts recommend professional cleaning periodically.
