Bremhaus Mam Oriental Performance Area Rug

A faded oriental medallion in navy and ivory, stain resistant and pet friendly, woven low enough to sit flat under furniture from day one.

The oriental medallion reads soft rather than sharp, ivory tracery worn into a navy ground. It is quiet enough to sit under furniture without fighting the room around it.

• A medallion, worn soft

  A hexagonal medallion in worn ivory sits on a deep navy ground, framed by a floral border that runs the full edge. The pile is machine woven from polypropylene to a 0.5 inch height, dense enough that foot traffic does not flatten a path through it, and the surface resists stains rather than absorbing them.

• Sizing it to the room

  Pick a size scaled to the room rather than to one piece of furniture. In a living room, the front legs of the sofa and any chairs should land on the rug so the seating reads as one group instead of floating. Around a dining table, leave enough rug on every side that a chair stays on it when someone pushes back to stand.

• A pad still helps

  The backing is jute, a natural fiber that already grips a hard floor better than a rug with no backing at all. A pad is still worth adding under a rug this dense: it keeps the corners from curling, stops slow creep across hardwood or tile, and spares the jute underside from grinding directly against a hard surface.

• It will not shed

  This is machine woven from polypropylene, not hand tufted wool, so it will not shed loose fiber onto the floor and there is no fluff to vacuum up in the first weeks. It does ship rolled, so give it a few days flat under furniture to let any curl at the edges settle out completely.

• Built for the rooms you use

  Rated pet friendly and stain resistant, this is built for rooms that actually get used: a living room with kids on the floor, a dining room under a table, a bedroom, or an entryway that tracks in dirt. The dense pile and dark navy ground both help hide everyday foot traffic between cleanings.

• Blot first, deep clean rarely

  Blot a fresh spill with a clean cloth right away rather than letting it sit, since the stain resistant finish works best before anything sets. Vacuum regularly on a normal setting to lift dust out of the pile. Because the backing is jute, skip a wet mop or a steam cleaner and leave a deep clean to a professional when a spot needs more than blotting.

• What ships

  The rug arrives rolled in a single carton, nothing else in the box. A rug pad and the furniture staged in the photos are not included. It is rated safe over radiant floor heating, so measure your room and check your own subfloor before it arrives.

• Safe over a heated floor

  The jute backing is also why this can sit over radiant floor heating, unlike a rug with a rubber or foam backing that can soften or smell under sustained heat. If your floor warms from below, this one is rated to go down on it without any special precautions.

Good to know

• Sized for the whole room, not an accent: the smallest is 9x12.
• Under a dining table, allow the chairs room to slide back when pulled out.
• In a living room, set the sofa's front feet on the rug to anchor the seating.
• None. Unroll and let it settle.
• Furniture and decor shown are styling only. The rug is the product; sizes vary by the option you choose.
