Wakanan Brown 5' x 7'6 Rug

A low-profile rug with a 1/4-inch (0.25") depth is an excellent choice for several practical reasons. In high-traffic hallways or entryways, it minimizes tripping hazards and allows for seamless clearance under most standard swinging doors. Additionally, this low pile height is ideal for homes using robot vacuums, as the device can transition onto the rug easily without getting stuck or damaging the fibers.

Choosing the right size is essential for grounding your furniture. A 5' x 7'6" rug is ideal for smaller spaces, such as a home office or a compact seating area where only the front legs of the furniture rest on the rug. For a standard living room or dining area, the larger 8'4" x 11'6" option is typically preferred, as it ensures all major furniture pieces—like your sofa and coffee table—are anchored together, following the professional design rule of leaving roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the wall.

This rug features a traditional design that is a sophisticated replication of a hand-knotted antique. By printing these intricate patterns onto a machine-woven polyester and cotton base, you achieve the timeless, high-end look of a heritage piece with the added benefit of a soft "linen touch." This allows you to bring a classic, vintage-inspired focal point into your home while maintaining the modern convenience of a washable, pet-friendly textile.

One of the primary benefits of this rug is its washability. Because it is lightweight and constructed with a low 1/4-inch pile, smaller sizes can be easily cleaned in a standard home washing machine. For larger variations, like the 8'4" x 11'6" size, we recommend using a commercial-sized washer at a laundromat to ensure the item has enough space for a thorough clean. For daily maintenance, our experts recommend regular vacuuming and immediate spot cleaning for minor spills.

This rug is specifically engineered for high-activity households. Machine-woven from a resilient blend of polyester and cotton, it is designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of pets and children. Unlike many traditional rugs, this version is stain-resistant and built to handle the frequent spills and heavy foot traffic common in great rooms or play areas without compromising its soft, premium feel.

While this rug is durable and built to last, our care guides generally recommend using a rug pad. Because the rug is lightweight for washability, a pad helps to hold it securely in place on hardwood or tile floors, preventing slipping and providing an extra layer of cushioning. This also protects the underside of the rug from friction, extending its lifespan in your home.
