Softy La Seneca Sky 8' Round Rug

Yes, the 100% polyester construction makes this rug exceptionally durable and pet-friendly. Polyester is a performance synthetic fiber known for being non-absorbent and inherently stain-resistant. Unlike natural fibers that may trap odors or snag on claws, this material allows pet hair and debris to sit on the surface for easy removal with a vacuum, ensuring the abstract watercolor pattern remains pristine even in busy households.

True to its name, the Softy La Seneca is designed with a focus on tactile comfort. The polyester fabric is incredibly soft to the touch, offering a plush feel that makes it a perfect foundation for "barefoot" rooms like bedrooms or nurseries. This high level of softness provides a cozy, inviting surface for children to play on or for creating a comfortable reading nook.

Keeping this rug clean is straightforward thanks to its synthetic makeup. For common spills, we recommend a simple spot clean using mild detergent and water, blotting rather than rubbing to protect the fibers. According to our general care guidelines for synthetic rugs, you can also steam-clean the piece as needed for a deeper refresh, which helps maintain the vibrancy of the "Sky" blue and hay yellow gradients.

This rug is well-suited for varied climates, including humid coastal regions. Because polyester is a synthetic, moisture-wicking material, it is naturally more resistant to mold and mildew compared to organic fibers like wool or jute. Furthermore, the synthetic dyes used in the watercolor style are designed for better color retention, helping the serene blues and beiges resist fading in sun-drenched rooms.

A round rug is a strategic choice for urban apartment living or smaller rooms. By softening the sharp lines of walls and rectangular furniture, a circular shape like this one breaks up the visual monotony and draws the eye outward. This lack of hard edges creates a "flow" that can make a compact seating area or entryway feel significantly more open and airy rather than cluttered.

A circular rug is an ideal design choice for anchoring a round dining table, as the echoing shapes create a sense of symmetry and balance. For an 8' round rug like the Softy La Seneca, it typically fits well under tables seating four to six people. Our design experts suggest ensuring the rug is large enough so that when chairs are pulled out, the back legs remain on the rug, which usually requires a diameter roughly 4 feet larger than the table itself.
