The area rug is machine-woven using heat set frise yarns for plush comfort underfoot. The area rug is machine woven from silky viscose yarns, featuring the look and feel of real silk at a fraction of the cost. The modern geometric style design easily complements a variety of styles and decors. Woven from a precise, machine-loomed technique, the collection combines a rich color palette to create a sophisticated group of designs at very competitive pricing. Crafted from silky Viscose yarns, this rug is ultra-soft to the touch and the fibers feature a light sheen that can cause a slight variation in the colors depending on the direction the rug is turned. Backed by a durable jute/ polypropylene backing, a rug pad is recommended to add comfort underfoot and to help keep the rug from slipping. The washed look adds a global feel to any room in your home. A sturdy jute and polypropylene backing helps prevent slipping, however, we recommend a rug pad to add comfort and keep the rug in place.
