Marianness Blue 5' x 7' Rug

This rug features a sophisticated blue, gray, and white palette designed with "dusky cosmopolitan poise." The geometric pattern and weathered flourishes provide an urban, midtown aesthetic that serves as a modern focal point. For a cohesive look, pair it with neutral contemporary furniture to let the artistic "weathered" edges and cool tones pop.

A 5' x 7' rug is an ideal size for anchoring a specific zone without overwhelming a smaller footprint. In a living room, we recommend placing the front legs of your sofa on the rug's edge to ground the seating area. For a home office, its 60" x 84" dimensions fit perfectly beneath a standard desk and chair, such as the Bonacker desk, ensuring your chair remains on a level surface even when pulled out.

To preserve the "originality and charm" of the weathered design, this rug should be spot-cleaned only. For spills, our experts recommend blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture from reaching the backing. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the contemporary finish; instead, use a mild detergent and cool water for targeted stain removal.

Based on our expertise, a high-quality rug pad is essential for two reasons: protection and comfort. A pad provides a non-slip foundation that keeps the rug securely in place on hard flooring, preventing the backing from rubbing against and potentially scratching your floors. Additionally, it adds a layer of cushion that extends the life of the fibers by absorbing the pressure of foot traffic.

Yes. This rug features a 0.5-inch low pile height, which is a strategic choice for high-traffic areas. Low-pile rugs are more resistant to matting and are significantly easier to vacuum, preventing pet hair and debris from becoming deeply embedded in the fibers. The tight construction also helps prevent snagging from pet claws compared to high-pile or shag alternatives.

While designed for its midtown style, this rug also provides functional sound dampening. The 0.5-inch thickness adds a layer of insulation that helps absorb impact noise from footsteps and reduces echo, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a quiet environment in multi-story apartment buildings or open-concept lofts.
