Kylan Red 7'10 x 10'2 Rug

A jute backing is a hallmark of a well-constructed rug, providing excellent durability and helping the piece retain its shape over time. Jute is a natural fiber known for its strength, ensuring the rug lies flat and resists stretching or warping. Because jute can be firm, it provides a stable foundation for the "extremely heavy" pile of this contemporary design.

Measuring 7'10" x 10'2", this rug is considered a large area rug, perfect for anchoring a main seating arrangement. In a living room, a rug of this scale should be large enough so that the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on the rug, which prevents a "floating" look and defines the conversation area. For open-concept layouts, using a rug this size helps visually separate the lounge area from the dining or kitchen zones.

This rug features an extremely heavy, dense pile and a heavy surface texture, which provides a plush, luxurious feel underfoot and helps dampen sound in a room. While lower piles are often chosen for ease of cleaning in high-traffic entryways, a dense pile like this is ideal for living rooms or bedrooms where comfort and a premium, high-quality texture are the priorities. To test the quality of a dense rug, you can press your fingers into the fibers; a high-density construction will spring back quickly and show minimal gaps.

Rugs with bold geometric patterns and multiple colors, such as this red, gray, and white design, are excellent for active households. The complex pattern is strategically effective at disguising minor wear, pet hair, or small spots between cleanings. Furthermore, the dense, heavy pile is more resilient against the daily foot traffic typical of a family room or "great room" environment.

To preserve the dense pile and vibrant red, gray, and white tones, you should vacuum the rug regularly to prevent dirt from settling deep into the fibers. For spills, our care guidelines recommend spotting clean with a mild detergent and a dry cloth; always blot the area rather than scrubbing to protect the texture. This rug should not be dry cleaned, as harsh chemicals can damage the specific construction of the pile and backing.

While the jute backing provides structural integrity, a rug pad is highly recommended to extend the life of the rug and prevent it from shifting or sliding on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate. A pad adds an extra layer of cushioning, which protects the underside of the rug from friction against the floor and provides a safer, more stable surface for your family.
