Upsala Ivory 8' x 11' Rug

For a dining room, it is important that the rug is large enough so that chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out from the table. An 8' x 11' rug is typically a great fit for a rectangular dining table seating 6 to 8 people, providing the 24 to 30 inches of extra space needed beyond the table's edges for a cohesive and functional layout.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth. While polyester is resistant to many stains, a professional cleaning is recommended periodically to maintain the vibrancy of the ivory and pink shades.

An 8' x 11' rug is an ideal choice for anchoring large seating areas in living rooms or Great Rooms. Our design experts recommend the "18-inch rule," which suggests leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls to maintain a balanced look. This size is also perfectly scaled for a king-size bed, allowing for a soft landing area on both sides and at the foot of the bed.

This rug is an excellent option for families with pets. Because it is made from high-quality synthetic fibers, it is more resistant to spills and stains than natural fiber rugs. Additionally, the tight hand-tufted construction and low-pile height make it easier to vacuum pet hair and less likely to snag under claws compared to high-pile shag options.
