![]() You should expect your new rug to take a few days to relax after being squished via delivery, but this is true of basically any rug you receive in the mail.įor context, based on the images online, I assumed that the rug would have a fur-like texture, but when it arrived I discovered it was similar to the rest of the brand’s rugs, which feature photorealistic patterns and images printed on a polyester and polyurethane material, more akin to a roll of canvas or fabric than a traditionally loom-woven rug. Truly the most difficult part of the process is moving the preexisting furniture around to accommodate your new rug and waiting for it to completely flatten. ![]() ![]() You just unfurl your new rug and corresponding pad, and then lay the rug down atop the rug and pad stick together quite well-almost like Velcro. When my rugs arrived, they were compactly rolled in long cardboard boxes that were easy for me to carry up two flights of stairs by myself, and the setup could not have been easier. There are also artist collaborations with The National Gallery, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring which bring a lot of personality into a space if you don’t have the money for expensive art (just yet). There are also plenty of whimsical designs like the “ Dark Side Damask” rug which subtly integrates the helmets of Star Wars' greatest villains (Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Stormtroopers) into a luxe design so you can display your fandom without screaming “We’re Disney adults”. If you find yourself looking at the above questions and thinking you’re ready to commit to a washable rug in your space, let me break down the decisions that went into my process to (and might help you) choose a Ruggable rug.įor what it’s worth, I honestly went back and forth for weeks on the final decision because there are so many excellent options-the Jonathan Adler collaboration, for one, is incredibly chic and understated. While these questions helped me realize that I’m chore-averse and lazy as hell, that might not be the case for everyone. Ironically, this move also meant abdicating an apartment with a washer and dryer to one with absolutely no amenities (and the closest laundromat six blocks away).Īll this to say: If you’ve been contemplating shelling out your hard-earned clams on a washable rug, ask yourself: 1) Do I live with mess-adjacent kids, pets, or people? (These factors are presumably what dictate the level of appeal of a machine-washable rug) and 2) Do you live without the luxury of an in-home washing machine (and, if not, how much energy are you willing to exert for a clean rug)? Considering I have a very large dog (at least for such a small abode), the logical replacement was something low-maintenance, durable, versatile, and, hopefully, aesthetically pleasing-thus, a machine-washable rug from Ruggable. Simply put, I needed a new rug after bidding adieu to my grandparents’ giant heirloom Chinese silk rug that my new tiny one-bedroom apartment cannot accommodate. My washable rug saga started out quite hectically after an abrupt move to a significantly smaller space.
