Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Does this modern rug require a rug pad?
While this rug features a durable machine-made backing, we highly recommend using a rug pad. A quality pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from sliding on hard surfaces like wood or tile, and protects the floor underneath. Furthermore, a pad reduces friction between the rug and the floor, which can significantly extend the lifespan of the polyester fibers by preventing premature wear.
What is the best way to position a 9' x 12' rug in a large room?
A 9' x 12' rug is considered a "mansion size" foundation, ideal for anchoring large living rooms or primary bedrooms. In a living room, this size is typically large enough for all furniture legs—sofa, chairs, and coffee table—to sit entirely on the rug, which creates a unified "zone" in open-concept homes. For a balanced look, we recommend following the "18-inch rule," leaving about a foot and a half of bare floor between the rug's edge and your walls.
Why is a polyester rug a good choice for high-traffic areas like a living room?
This rug is crafted from high-quality polyester yarns, a synthetic material engineered for durability and resilience. Unlike some natural fibers, polyester is naturally resistant to staining and fading, making it an excellent long-term investment for busy areas. Its machine-made construction ensures a consistent, tight weave that maintains its shape even under the daily foot traffic of a main living space.
What design benefits do the "subtly raised accents" and "shimmer" provide?
The Shepdell collection features Art Deco-inspired patterns with a contemporary twist. The subtly raised accents provide a tactile, multidimensional texture that adds visual depth without the maintenance challenges of a traditional high-pile rug. Additionally, the yarns are finished with a glamorous shimmer that reflects light, helping to brighten a room and adding an elevated, refined feel to your decor.
How easy is it to maintain this rug in a household with children and pets?
This rug is specifically designed for the needs of active households. The low-profile construction prevents dirt and pet hair from becoming deeply embedded, allowing for more effective routine vacuuming. Because polyester is non-absorbent, common spills can be quickly blotted and spot-cleaned with a mild detergent. Based on our expertise in home maintenance, we recommend this textured synthetic style for families who want a sophisticated look without the stress of difficult upkeep.
