Vellum Navy 7'10 x 10' Rug

While the cotton backing on this rug is well-constructed and gentle on flooring, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides essential grip to prevent sliding—especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile—and adds an extra layer of cushioning that protects the cotton backing from wear. This combination extends the life of your rug and provides a safer, more comfortable feel underfoot.

The decorative fringe and tassels are key elements of the rug’s bohemian aesthetic, but they do require a bit of extra care during maintenance. To avoid tangling or damaging the fringe, avoid running the vacuum directly over the edges. Instead, use the handheld suction attachment for the tasseled ends or gently shake the rug to dislodge any dust from the perimeter.

To preserve the modern high-low texture and prevent damage to the fibers, we recommend vacuuming without a beater bar. If your vacuum does not have a "brush roll off" setting, set the bar to the highest pile setting to avoid pulling at the weave. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Because this rug is made of synthetic polyester, it is also suitable for periodic steam cleaning when a deeper refresh is needed.

Measuring 7'10" x 10', this estate-sized rug is an ideal choice for anchoring a large living room or defining a seating area in an open-concept home. Our design experts recommend a rug of this scale to ensure that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug, which prevents a "floating" look and brings cohesive structure to the room. For a balanced aesthetic, try to maintain about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and your walls.

This rug is machine-made from high-quality polyester, a synthetic fiber valued for its impressive durability and user-friendly nature. Polyester is inherently stain-resistant and less absorbent than natural fibers, making it an excellent choice for busy households with dogs or children. The shed-free construction ensures the rug maintains its plush appearance even in high-traffic hallways or active family rooms without the maintenance required by high-shed materials like wool.

Yes, polyester is a superior choice for humid environments or coastal homes. Unlike natural fibers that can absorb moisture and become susceptible to mold or mildew, synthetic polyester is quick-drying and moisture-resistant. This makes the Vellum collection a reliable and stylish option for maintaining a fresh look in climates where humidity is a factor.
