Moncha Blue 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Viscose is a breathable material, making it a comfortable choice for warmer climates. However, because it is a plant-based fiber, it is sensitive to high humidity and moisture. In coastal environments, we recommend using this rug in climate-controlled indoor spaces to preserve the integrity of the yarns and the cotton backing. Ensuring the rug is kept away from areas prone to dampness will help maintain its signature sheen and prevent fiber weakening over time.

Because viscose is a delicate, cellulose-based fiber prized for its silk-like luster and tonal depth, it requires mindful care. We recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar raised to protect the hand-loomed loop weave from pulling. Based on our material expertise, spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using excessive water or steam cleaning, as moisture can affect the fiber’s texture and sheen.

Absolutely. In large, multi-functional spaces, an 8'6" x 11'6" rug acts as a visual boundary. By placing your main seating arrangement entirely or partially on the rug, you create a distinct "room within a room." This size is particularly effective in urban lofts or open-plan homes to separate the lounging area from the dining or kitchen zones without the need for physical walls.

A rug of this scale is ideal for anchoring large seating areas or open-concept spaces. Following standard design principles, a rug this size allows the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest comfortably on the pile, which helps define the conversation area and prevents the furniture from looking as if it is "floating." For a balanced look, we recommend leaving approximately 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and your walls.

While the Moncha collection is handcrafted for durability with a sturdy cotton backing, viscose is best suited for medium-traffic areas where its elegant texture can be showcased, such as a primary bedroom or a formal living room. For entryways prone to heavy moisture or dirt, a synthetic or natural fiber rug might be more practical, as viscose is highly absorbent and is most at home in dry, indoor environments.

A solid blue rug serves as a versatile foundation that can either ground a vibrant room or add a "pop" of color to a neutral palette. Our styling guides suggest pairing this deep blue tone with neutral furniture—such as beige or gray sofas—to create a calming, contemporary atmosphere. Conversely, pairing it with dark wood or metallic accents can create a striking, sophisticated contrast that highlights the rug's handcrafted textures.
