Moncha Red 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Yes, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. While the cotton backing provides an elegant finish and helps the rug retain its rectangular shape, a pad adds essential cushioning, prevents the rug from sliding on hard floors, and acts as a protective barrier for both the rug and your flooring. This extra layer also helps extend the lifespan of the hand-loomed loops by reducing friction.

The Moncha Red rug features a vibrant, solid contemporary pattern that can effectively hide minor wear; however, the looped hand-loom construction may be susceptible to snagging from pet claws. If you have pets, we suggest placing this rug in a room where they spend less time, or ensuring their nails are well-trimmed to protect the handcrafted weave. The deep red hue is excellent for adding warmth and a striking focal point to your decor, especially when balanced with neutral-toned furniture.

This rug is handcrafted using an all-loop hand-loom weave, a technique that provides a distinct, artisanal texture. The use of 100% viscose yarns gives the rug a luxurious, silk-like sheen and exceptional tonal depth. This material is prized in contemporary design for its ability to catch the light and add a sophisticated, high-end feel to any room.

Because of the delicate nature of viscose fibers and the handcrafted all-loop weave, this rug is best suited for medium-to-low traffic areas, such as a formal living room or a primary bedroom. While viscose offers a premium look and feel, it is less resilient than synthetic fibers like polypropylene. For spaces where comfort and aesthetic elegance are the priority, this rug provides a stunning, high-quality foundation.

Measuring 8'6" x 11'6", this rug is ideal for anchoring a large seating area or an open-concept living space. For a cohesive look, follow the professional design rule of placing at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug. In a spacious room, this large-scale rug can even accommodate all furniture legs, which helps define the conversation zone and prevents the "floating furniture" look.

To preserve the tonal quality of the viscose yarns, we recommend regular vacuuming with the beater bar turned off or using a handheld attachment to prevent fiber agitation. For spills, immediate action is key—blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Based on our expertise with natural materials, avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals, as viscose is highly absorbent; professional cleaning is recommended for deep refreshes to maintain the rug's integrity and shape.
