Description
A painterly swirl of teal, ocean blue, and warm gold — the Karastan Nuvole looks like abstract art you can walk on. Bold enough to anchor a room, versatile enough to complement almost any palette.
A rectangular abstract area rug with a painterly, watercolor-style design. The surface is dominated by sweeping pools of deep ocean blue and teal that blend organically across the field, interspersed with warm gold-brown splashes and patches of cool gray and off-white. The background has a distressed, worn-in quality — visible texture and faded areas give it depth and an aged, artistic feel reminiscent of peeling paint or weathered fresco. The pile is medium height with a smooth machine-woven surface texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold and artistic — like an abstract expressionist painting rendered in rug form.

Care & Cleaning
Viscose rugs, due to their wood cellulose fiber construction, require special care:
- Since these rugs absorb moisture easily, cleaning is generally not recommended.
- Should cleaning become necessary, dry cleaning is the preferred method. However, always consult with the dry cleaner as some chemicals can discolor the fibers.
- Avoid spot cleaning with water as the cellulose fibers can discolor or turn yellow when wet and may result in stains post-cleaning.
- Lighter colors and large, solid areas are more prone to visible staining.
- To minimize the need for cleaning, it's advisable to place viscose rugs in low-traffic areas.
