Kitabe Ivory 7' x 9' Rug

Yes, the construction of this rug is specifically recommended for high-activity zones, including entryways and office spaces. With a 0.5-inch depth, it offers a comfortable pile that is substantial enough to feel luxurious underfoot while remaining low-profile enough to handle frequent foot traffic and the movement of office chairs.

This rug is handmade with acute attention to detail and fine materials, which typically results in superior craftsmanship and a more unique character than mass-produced items. The "handmade" designation indicates a high level of artisanal care in the weave and pattern, ensuring a durable piece designed to maintain its beauty and structural integrity in your home for years to come.

A 7' x 9' rug is a highly versatile mid-size option. For a dining room, our experts recommend ensuring the rug extends 24 to 30 inches beyond the table's edges so that chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out. In a bedroom, this size is ideal for placement under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, providing a soft, 7-foot wide landing area on either side. To ensure a balanced look in any room, follow the "18-inch rule" by leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls.

To preserve the fine craftsmanship of this handmade piece, it should be spot cleaned only. Based on our professional care recommendations, you should blot spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage. For cleaning, use a mild detergent and cool water to gently lift stains. For routine maintenance, vacuuming without a beater bar is recommended to remove dust and debris without snagging the delicate handmade fibers.

Absolutely. A traditional rug with a floral and geometric motif, like the Kitabe, acts as a sophisticated anchor that adds warmth and "soul" to modern spaces. Its balanced color palette of ivory, beige, blue, and gray allows it to bridge the gap between classic design and contemporary furniture. Using a traditional rug in a minimalist setting creates a curated, high-contrast look that prevents a room from feeling too clinical.

We highly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. Not only does a pad provide additional cushioning, but it also serves a critical safety function by preventing the rug from slipping on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile. Additionally, a rug pad protects both your flooring from scratches and the underside of the rug from premature wear, effectively extending the life of your investment.
