Product details
Heavy-traffic rooms call for a floor covering that marries durability with refined design, and this hand-finished power-loomed area rug delivers both without the cost of hand-knotted construction. The Ausi Abstract gray area rug--available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping--pairs recycled polyester fibers with artisan hand-shearing and hand-washing at a handmade facility in India, creating a plush surface that resists stains and stands up to family life. Its abstract splashed design in gray, ivory, and taupe anchors transitional and contemporary interiors, from mid-century LOOMLAN rugs collections to coastal living rooms that layer texture and neutral tones.

Why Choose This Power-Loomed Rug from Sideboards and Things?
Recycled polyester construction diverts waste while delivering resilience for high-traffic zones, and the hand-finishing process--shearing and washing techniques borrowed from centuries-old rug-making--adds softness underfoot that machine-only weaving cannot match. The tonal abstract pattern grounds furniture groupings without competing for attention, working equally well beneath mid-century credenzas and sculptural coffee tables or alongside Rhody Rug pieces in open-plan great rooms. Larger formats like the 9' x 12' and 10' x 13' allow front furniture legs to rest on the rug surface, a proportion interior designers use to unify seating groups and define conversation areas in expansive living spaces.
Sizing and Placement Guidance
In a 14' x 18' living room, the 9' x 12' option leaves 18--24 inches of exposed flooring on all sides, creating visual balance and preventing the rug from appearing crowded against walls. The 2'6" x 8' runner format anchors hallways and galley kitchens where wider runners can create tripping hazards, while the 10' x 13' size suits open-plan spaces where sectionals and multiple seating clusters need unified grounding. Pair this rug with storage pieces from the All Furniture collection to layer texture and define functional zones in multi-purpose rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a sideboard, a credenza, and a buffet?
- A sideboard traditionally features drawers and cabinets for dining room storage; a credenza sits low with sliding doors and often anchors living rooms or offices; a buffet is taller with open counter space for serving--all three provide storage, but their proportions and intended rooms differ.
- Does this area rug arrive assembled?
- Yes, the rug arrives complete and ready to unroll--no assembly is required.
- Can I machine-wash this rug?
- No, this indoor rug requires spot cleaning only; for machine-washable options, explore the washable rug segment of our Addison Rugs collection.
- What size rug works best under a dining table?
- Choose a rug at least 24 inches wider and longer than your table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug surface when pulled out--an 8' x 10' suits most six-seat tables.
- How do I care for a recycled polyester rug?
- Vacuum weekly with a suction-only setting to remove debris, spot-clean spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and rotate the rug every few months to distribute wear evenly across high-traffic paths.
- What is the return policy and how long does delivery take?
- Standard returns apply within 30 days for rugs in listed sizes; the Ausi rug ships in 48-72 hours and standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free.
