Reshay Turquoise 5'1 X 8' Rug
SKU: 86471693
Chindi rugs are sought after by amateur and professional designers alike for their earthy, boho flavor. Handwoven in India of 100% organic cotton fibers, the Reshay Collection takes a new twist on the classic braided pattern. Cream stripes pair equally well with gray, navy, and beige to create an all-natural neutral that goes with everything. Made from 100% Cotton, this handmade rug should be treated more carefully than machine-made rugs due to the artisanal nature in which they are created. Remove any stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth or sponge. Avoid using water as that might damage and discolor the natural fibers, instead, for tougher stains use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. For dry debris take the rug outdoors and give it a good shake. Rotate for even wear.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
What are the specific cleaning requirements for an organic cotton rug?
To protect the natural fibers and the artisanal construction, you should never saturate this rug with water. If a spill occurs, immediate action is required: blot the area firmly with a clean, dry sponge or cloth to lift the liquid before it sets. For tougher stains, our care guide suggests applying a dry rug shampoo or a light dusting of baking soda. This water-free approach ensures the turquoise striped pattern remains crisp and prevents the organic cotton from warping.
What is the best way to determine if a 5'1 x 8' rug is the right size for a living room?
A 5'1 x 8' rug is a versatile choice for anchoring specific zones. In a standard living room layout, the "front legs rule" is an industry-standard placement guide: position the rug so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug's surface. This creates a cohesive "seating island" that defines the space. For smaller apartment living rooms, this size can often sit entirely under a coffee table to ground the center of the room without overwhelming the floor space.
What are the benefits of choosing organic cotton over synthetic rug materials?
Choosing a rug crafted from 100% organic cotton offers a distinct advantage in both sustainability and tactile feel. Unlike synthetic fibers like polypropylene, organic cotton provides a soft, earthy texture that is naturally free from many of the chemicals used in synthetic manufacturing. This makes it an excellent choice for health-conscious households or areas where you frequently walk barefoot, such as a bedroom or a nursery.
Are natural fiber rugs like this one suitable for humid or coastal environments?
Natural cotton is highly breathable, making it a popular choice for coastal and "boho" styled homes. However, in humid climates, it is critical to avoid using water during the cleaning process, as organic fibers can absorb moisture, leading to potential damage or discoloration. If you are decorating a home in a high-humidity area, we recommend following a strictly dry-cleaning regimen—using baking soda or a dry rug shampoo for refreshes—to maintain the vibrant turquoise and cream tones.
How do I properly maintain a handwoven cotton rug to ensure its longevity?
Because this rug is handwoven in India from 100% organic cotton fibers, it possesses an artisanal quality that requires more specialized care than mass-produced synthetic options. To preserve the integrity of the Chindi weave, our experts recommend rotating the rug every few months to ensure even wear. For regular maintenance, take the rug outdoors for a vigorous shake to release dry debris rather than using a high-suction vacuum, which can stress the delicate fringed edges and hand-braided patterns.
How can I style a striped turquoise rug to create a cohesive room design?
This rug is designed as an "all-natural neutral" that thrives in Coastal or Boho-themed spaces. The turquoise and cream palette provides a sophisticated pop of color that pairs exceptionally well with furniture in navy, gray, or beige. To enhance the earthy "Chindi" flavor, consider layering it with other natural textures in the room, such as a light oak coffee table or linen-upholstered seating, which will complement the handwoven, fringed details.
