Laozui White/Black 8'3 x 10' Rug

While this rug offers a luxurious texture and high visual appeal, its "spot clean only" requirement makes it best suited for medium-traffic areas such as bedrooms, home offices, or formal living rooms. In these spaces, you can enjoy the tactile delight of the rug while more easily managing maintenance. For homes with very active pets, the fringed edges are a refined detail that may require extra care to prevent snags.

The transitional style of this rug makes it incredibly versatile for both modern and traditional interiors. The striking contrast of the trellis pattern creates a sophisticated focal point that pairs beautifully with neutral furniture in shades of cream, beige, or gray. To create a cohesive look, our design experts suggest echoing the rug's deep navy tones through smaller accents like throw pillows, vases, or wall art.

In more humid environments, such as coastal regions or the Southeast, maintaining the longevity of a large area rug requires proper air circulation. Because this rug features a dense, luxurious texture, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. A pad not only provides extra cushioning but also allows for better airflow between the rug and the floor, helping to prevent moisture retention and protecting your flooring.

Absolutely. Layering an area rug over carpet is an excellent design strategy to introduce a sophisticated layer of color and geometric interest to a room. This technique also helps define specific zones, such as a cozy reading nook or a conversation area, while providing an extra layer of protection for the underlying carpet in high-use spots.

To preserve the sophisticated texture and delicate fringed edges of this rug, regular maintenance is key. We recommend vacuuming frequently to prevent dust from settling into the fibers. For spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture. Based on our professional care guidelines, you should use only a mild detergent and cool water for stubborn spots, being careful not to over-saturate the material, as this helps maintain the integrity of the geometric pattern over time.

This "estate-size" rug is designed to anchor larger spaces effectively. In a living room, it provides a generous footprint, allowing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest comfortably on the fibers, which visually unifies the seating area. For a formal dining room, this size is ideal for a table seating six to eight people, as it ensures there is enough clearance (typically 24-30 inches) for chairs to remain on the rug even when pulled out.
