Kwaye White 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

This rug is machine-woven in Turkey from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber engineered for resilience. Known for its exceptional durability, polypropylene is an ideal choice for busy households or high-traffic zones like entryways and main living rooms. Unlike some natural fibers, these strands are non-porous, making them inherently resistant to staining, shedding, and moisture.

Yes, this rug features a sleek low-profile pile that is particularly beneficial for pet owners. The short, tightly woven fibers prevent pet hair, dander, and outdoor debris from becoming deeply embedded, which allows for much more effective vacuuming. Additionally, low-pile synthetic rugs are significantly less likely to snag under claws than high-pile or shag alternatives, preserving the rug's vintage, weathered appearance over time.

For a 7'9" x 9'9" rug, the most effective layout involves placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug to anchor the seating area and prevent a "floating" look. Our design experts recommend following the "18-inch rule" by leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug’s edge and the walls. This creates a balanced, intentional frame that helps the room feel larger and more cohesive.

Absolutely. The crisp white background of this Moroccan-inspired rug reflects light, which helps open up smaller spaces or urban apartments that may have limited natural lighting. The geometric pattern provides sophisticated visual contrast without overwhelming the room, while the weathered, vintage aesthetic adds a sense of "lived-in" comfort that blends seamlessly with both modern and eclectic decor.

Based on our material care guides, polypropylene rugs are remarkably low-maintenance. For everyday spills, we recommend immediate blotting with a clean, dry cloth followed by spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water. Because the synthetic material is moisture-resistant, it can also be steam-cleaned periodically to refresh the white and black geometric pattern without damaging the fibers.

Polypropylene is a superior choice for humid environments or sun-drenched rooms. Our material expertise confirms that it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, which are common concerns for natural fiber rugs in coastal or high-humidity areas. Furthermore, the synthetic yarns are designed to retain their color vibrancy, making this rug a durable, fade-resistant foundation for airy, sun-lit spaces like porches or sunrooms.
