Metima Black 5'3 x 7' Area Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, making it an eco-conscious choice that doesn't sacrifice comfort. Polyester is naturally known for its "supple hand"—offering a very smooth and soft texture underfoot—while providing inherent stain resistance and colorfastness. This material is particularly durable for modern households, as synthetic fibers like these are better at resisting liquids and fading compared to many natural fibers.

A 5x7 rug is a versatile "mid-size" option. In a living room, it works best when placed under the front legs of a sofa or centered beneath a coffee table to ground a compact seating arrangement. In a bedroom, this size is ideal for placing under the lower two-thirds of a full or queen-size bed to provide a soft landing area. It is also an excellent choice for a home office, fitting comfortably beneath a desk and chair to protect your flooring.

Based on our expertise with synthetic materials, we recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling into the gobelin weave. For spills, polyester fibers allow for easy maintenance; you should blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot-clean with a mild detergent and cool water. Because these fibers are moisture-resistant, they are also suitable for periodic steam cleaning to keep the abstract black-and-white pattern looking crisp.

This rug features a refined gobelin weave, a technique that creates a sophisticated, tapestry-like texture and detailed linear patterns. To enhance its artisan appeal, it is finished with a bespoke shepherd’s stitch along the edges. This hand-crafted detail not only provides an extra touch of luxury but also reinforces the rug's borders, helping to prevent fraying and ensuring the piece maintains its rectangular shape over time.

The abstract linear design and high-contrast black-and-white palette are hallmarks of mid-century modern and contemporary styles. Using a geometric rug like this one provides a bold focal point that can tie a room together. The neutral tones allow you to experiment with colorful accents—like mustard yellow or soft pastels—while the sharp, abstract lines add a sense of movement and architectural interest to your floor.

Yes, the foldable design of this rug is a significant advantage for urban dwellers and apartment living. Unlike traditional rugs that must be rolled and can be cumbersome to transport through tight hallways or stairwells, this rug can be easily folded for compact storage or move-in days. Its 5'3" x 7' dimensions are also perfectly scaled to anchor a seating area in a studio or define a dedicated workspace in a home office.
