Moncha Light Gray 9'6 x 13' Rug

Yes. Utilizing light-colored rugs in shades like light gray is a classic design strategy to open up a space. Light tones reflect more ambient light than darker colors, which helps a room feel more airy and expansive. The solid pattern and subtle texture of this contemporary rug provide a clean, uncluttered look that prevents a space from feeling visually "busy."

If a spill occurs, our care guidelines recommend blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry white cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can distort the delicate viscose fibers and affect the rug's tonal quality. For any remaining residue, use a very small amount of cool water and continue blotting until dry. Because viscose is highly absorbent, minimizing moisture is the key to preventing fiber stiffening or yellowing.

This rug is handcrafted using an all-loop hand-loom technique, which provides a distinct, artisanal texture that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. The addition of a cotton backing is a hallmark of quality construction; it provides essential structural stability, helping the rug retain its rectangular shape over time and protecting your hardwood or tile floors from the primary weave.

To preserve the silky tonal quality of this viscose rug, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar. Because viscose is a delicate fiber known for its luxurious luster, avoid using heavy moisture during cleaning. Based on our material expertise, rotating the rug every six months is also recommended to ensure even wear and prevent specific areas from fading due to sunlight exposure.

A 9'6" x 13' rug is considered a "mansion size" floor covering, making it an ideal anchor for spacious rooms or great halls. For a cohesive look, ensure the rug is large enough so that at least the front legs of all major furniture pieces—such as your sofa and accent chairs—rest comfortably on the surface. This creates a defined "zone" in an open-plan home, providing both visual structure and acoustic benefits.

While viscose offers a beautiful, high-end appearance similar to silk, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms or formal sitting rooms. The delicate loops of a hand-loomed weave can be sensitive to heavy friction or pet claws. If you are placing this in a household with pets, we recommend a low-moisture cleaning approach, as viscose fibers can be sensitive to liquids.
