Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Why is a hand-loomed construction with a cotton backing beneficial for hardwood floors?
The hand-looming process ensures a tight, high-quality weave that provides better durability than many machine-made alternatives. This rug features a 100% cotton backing, which offers a stable, breathable foundation that helps the rug maintain its rectangular shape over time. To further protect your hardwood or laminate flooring and prevent the rug from shifting in high-traffic areas, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality rug pad.
How should I position this rug in a formal dining room?
When placing a rug under a dining table, the goal is to ensure that all chair legs remain on the rug even when guests pull them out to sit. Based on our sizing guidelines, a rug should ideally extend 24 to 30 inches beyond the edges of the table. This 13-foot length is exceptionally well-suited for formal dining tables that seat 8 to 10 people, providing a balanced border that enhances the room's symmetry.
Is a 9'6" x 13' area rug the right size for a large living room with a sectional?
Yes, this "mansion-sized" rug is an ideal foundation for spacious, open-concept living areas. Our design experts recommend selecting a rug large enough so that at least the front legs of your sectional and any accent chairs rest on it. At 9'6" x 13', this rug provides ample coverage to anchor a large seating group, preventing the "floating furniture" look and defining the room's conversational zone with professional scale.
What are the primary characteristics of a rug crafted from 100% viscose yarns?
Viscose is highly regarded in contemporary interior design for its remarkable softness and silk-like luster. This material captures and reflects light beautifully, giving the solid blue pile a multi-tonal quality that shifts depending on the angle of the room. Hand-loomed with an all-loop weave, this rug offers a sophisticated, low-profile texture that feels luxurious underfoot while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
What are the best practices for cleaning and maintaining a viscose rug with a cotton backing?
To preserve the delicate fibers and sheen of viscose, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off to avoid pulling the loops. For spills, immediate action is essential: blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture. Because viscose is sensitive to saturation, avoid using heavy steam cleaners. Our care expertise suggests professional cleaning for deep maintenance to ensure the hand-loomed fibers retain their original texture and color.
