Parmere Ivory/Blue 5'3 x 7'10 Rug

Yes, this rug is specifically designed for "everyday living." It features built-in stain resistance, and its low 0.25-inch pile height makes it difficult for pet hair, crumbs, or allergens to become trapped deep within the fibers. Because it is machine-made with durable polyester, it can handle the frequent vacuuming and spot cleaning required in busy households with kids and pets.

A 5'3 x 7'10 rug is a highly versatile mid-size option, often referred to as a "5x8." In a smaller living room or apartment, it is the ideal scale for grounding a seating area when placed under a coffee table with the front legs of your sofa resting just off the edge. For a bedroom, this size fits perfectly under the lower two-thirds of a queen-size bed, providing a soft, comfortable landing on both sides of the mattress.

Polyester is a superior material for humid environments, such as coastal homes or southern climates, because it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unlike wool or other natural fibers that can absorb atmospheric moisture and develop odors, synthetic polyester remains breathable and quick-drying, ensuring the rug stays fresh in various geographical conditions.

This rug is cross-woven from space-dyed shrink polyester, a construction method designed for longevity and color retention. Synthetic polyester is naturally resilient and resistant to moisture, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic zones. Unlike some natural fibers, these fibers are engineered to maintain their shape and vibrant gold and blue tones even under frequent use.

This rug utilizes space-dyed polyester, a process where the yarn is dyed at varying intervals before weaving. This technique not only creates a beautiful, nuanced Oriental pattern but also ensures the color is deeply embedded in the fiber. This makes the rug more resistant to fading than surface-printed alternatives, allowing it to maintain its fresh ivory and blue palette even in sun-drenched rooms.

Based on our expertise with synthetic materials, we recommend vacuuming regularly to prevent grit from settling into the backing. For spills, the stain-resistant polyester allows for easy spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water. For long-term care, professional cleaning is recommended periodically to refresh the fibers and maintain the rug's transitional style.
