Pilata Blue 2'3 x 7'6 Rug

Polyester is a highly resilient synthetic fiber known for its strength and resistance to stretching and shrinking. Because this rug is power-loomed with a high-density weave, it is built to withstand the heavy foot traffic typical of a busy hallway or kitchen walkway. Additionally, the space-dyed polyester helps hide minor soil and maintain its vibrant jewel tones over time.

Yes, the low-profile construction of this rug is specifically designed to provide sophisticated dimension without the bulk of a high pile. With a depth of just 0.25 inches, it offers excellent clearance for most standard doors, making it a practical choice for mudrooms, entryways, or closet-lined hallways where thick rugs might cause a tripping hazard or catch on the bottom of a door.

For a hallway or entryway, we recommend following the "rule of thumb" to leave approximately 2 to 4 inches of visible floor space on all sides of the rug. This 2'3" x 7'6" runner is ideally sized for standard residential hallways, providing a soft, defined path while ensuring the abstract pattern is centered. In entryways, a runner helps guide the flow of movement into the home and protects high-traffic flooring from wear.

Abstract designs in neutral and jewel tones, like the blue and beige found here, act as a bridge between different rooms. In an open-concept or transitional layout, a runner with "fluid" sophisticated patterns helps define a specific zone—such as a walkway between a living room and kitchen—without the rigid lines of traditional styles. This adds a sense of movement and refined dimension to the transition spaces of your home.

We strongly recommend using a non-slip rug pad underneath any runner, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile. A rug pad not only prevents the rug from sliding, which is a common safety concern in high-traffic hallways, but it also provides an extra layer of cushioning. This protects your floor's finish from the rug's backing and helps extend the life of the rug by reducing friction and impact.

Based on our expertise with synthetic materials, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove surface debris. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent mixed with cool water; avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For the incorporated fringe, we suggest using the handheld attachment of your vacuum or a gentle brush to prevent the delicate fringe from tangling or getting caught in a rotating beater bar.
