Merridan Brown 8' x 11' Rug

It is perfectly normal for new rugs to shed excess fibers during the first few weeks of use. To manage this and keep your rug looking its best, our care guidelines recommend vacuuming regularly to remove loose fibers. If you encounter a loose yarn, avoid pulling it, as this can damage the weave; instead, simply trim it even with the pile using a pair of scissors.

Yes, the polypropylene construction of this rug makes it particularly well-suited for humid environments or coastal regions. Because synthetic fibers like polypropylene do not absorb moisture the way wool or cotton do, they are naturally more resistant to mold and mildew. This ensures the rug stays fresh and maintains its structural integrity in climates where humidity is a factor.

Absolutely. While this rug is built for durability, it is specifically designed with a "soft hand" and a plush texture. This provides a soft, comfortable surface underfoot that adds a layer of warmth and richness to a space. It is an ideal choice for rooms where comfort is a priority, such as a bedroom, nursery, or a cozy transitional living space.

This rug is crafted from power-woven polypropylene, a synthetic fiber highly regarded for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Unlike some natural fibers, polypropylene is inherently moisture-resistant and stain-resistant, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas prone to spills or pet activity. Its power-woven construction ensures the pile remains resilient over time, even in the busiest parts of your home.

An 8' x 11' rug, often referred to as an "estate size," is a highly versatile choice for anchoring larger rooms. In a living room, this size is ideal for ensuring that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs sit comfortably on the rug, creating a cohesive seating area. For dining rooms, it provides ample space for a table seating six to eight people, allowing chairs to remain on the rug even when they are pulled out for guests.

The Bohemian-inspired abstract design uses a sophisticated palette of brown, beige, and gray, which allows it to act as a neutral yet stylish foundation. These earth tones are particularly effective at grounding a room. If you have lighter furniture, the brown tones provide a beautiful contrast; if you have darker wood flooring or furniture, the beige and gray accents help to lift the space and prevent it from feeling too heavy.
