Kitabe Ivory 5' x 7' Rug

This rug’s low profile (0.5” depth) and handmade construction make it a functional choice for a home office. While the floral motif adds a professional and polished look, we recommend using a chair mat if you have a heavy rolling desk chair to prevent excessive friction on the handmade fibers and ensure the chair moves smoothly across the surface.

A 5' x 7' rug is a versatile size ideal for defining specific zones without overwhelming a room. It is a perfect fit for a home office, a small dining area with a table for two to four people, or as a focal point in an entryway. For those living in urban apartments or smaller floor plans, this size is excellent for anchoring a compact seating area, providing warmth and style while maintaining an open feel.

Yes, we highly recommend using a rug pad with any area rug. A pad provides a necessary layer of protection between the rug and your flooring, preventing slipping and sliding. Additionally, a rug pad acts as a shock absorber, reducing the wear on the rug’s fibers over time and providing an extra layer of cushioned comfort underfoot.

Because this rug is handmade with fine materials, it requires gentle maintenance to preserve its craftsmanship. We recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting, as a beater bar can pull at the delicate hand-woven fibers. For spills, our care guidelines suggest immediate action: blot the area with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the weave. This rug is designated for spot cleaning only to maintain its texture and color integrity.

While ivory is a light, airy color, this rug features a floral and geometric motif that helps mask minor wear and adds visual depth. To ensure its longevity in higher-traffic zones like an entryway or office, we recommend placing it in areas where footwear is minimal. The neutral beige and ivory palette is an excellent design choice for brightening a room and making smaller spaces feel significantly more expansive.

Handmade rugs are valued for their exceptional durability and unique character. Each piece is crafted with acute attention to detail, ensuring a level of quality and structural integrity that machine-made alternatives often lack. This artisanal construction means the rug is built to stay beautiful for years, making it a sophisticated investment for high-visibility areas like a dining room or foyer.
