Smilax II Red 6'7 x 9'6 Rug

Absolutely. Beyond the inherent stain-resistance of the polypropylene fibers, the intricate botanical pattern in shades of red, olive, and beige is highly effective at disguising pet hair, lint, and minor everyday tracks between cleanings. The transitional style ensures it remains a timeless piece that evolves with your family’s changing decor needs, while the medium pile provides a cushioned surface for children to play.

This rectangle rug is an ideal "estate size" for grounding a standard living room arrangement. For a cohesive look, we recommend following the "front legs" rule: ensure at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug to anchor the seating area. At roughly 7 feet by 10 feet, this size provides ample coverage to define a space without overwhelming smaller-scale apartments or mid-sized suburban rooms.

Yes, this rug is specifically engineered for durability in busy households. The meticulously woven construction uses polypropylene, a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional resilience and resistance to wear. The medium pile height offers a strategic balance: it provides a soft, comfortable underfoot feel while remaining low-profile enough to minimize tripping hazards and resist the matting often seen in high-traffic living rooms or entryways.

Polypropylene is an excellent choice for regions with higher humidity or for transitional indoor spaces like mudrooms. Based on the material's properties, it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew because the fibers do not retain moisture like natural wool or cotton. This makes it a reliable option for coastal homes or basement living areas where moisture management is a priority for maintaining a fresh home environment.

To preserve the longevity and appearance of the botanical pattern, we recommend regular vacuuming without a beater bar, as high-suction or rotating brushes can cause premature fraying of the fibers. For accidental spills, our care guidelines suggest spot cleaning immediately with a dry, clean cloth to blot moisture. Because polypropylene is naturally non-absorbent, it is highly resistant to staining, making it one of the easiest materials to maintain in a modern home.

The rich palette of red, olive green, and brown makes this rug a grounding centerpiece. It pairs exceptionally well with neutral furniture in beige or cream to let the botanical pattern pop. For a more sophisticated, nature-inspired look, consider coordinating it with dark wood tones or leather seating, which complements the transitional aesthetic and echoes the earthy tones found within the rug's pattern.
