Description
Deep charcoal borders melt into soft gray and white at the center — the Turin's abstract brushstroke design is quietly dramatic and endlessly versatile.
A rectangular area rug with a striking abstract horizontal stripe pattern that creates a strong ombre gradient effect. The outer edges and border are deep charcoal and near-black, with dense horizontal brushstroke-like striations. Moving toward the center, the tones gradually lighten through mid-gray into soft off-white and pale gray, creating a faded, atmospheric quality. The stripes are irregular and organic in character — not crisp geometric lines but painterly, textured marks that give the rug an artistic, almost woven-canvas appearance. The pile is low-to-medium, with a smooth machine-woven surface texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a cool, moody, modern rug with quiet visual drama.

About This Rug
The Karastan Turin Anthracite Area Rug brings a sophisticated, understated energy to any room with its layered abstract design of horizontal brushstroke-like striations that fade from deep charcoal and black at the borders into soft gray and off-white at the center. This gradient effect creates a subtle ombre quality that feels both modern and timeless — equally at home in a sleek contemporary living room or a transitional bedroom. Machine-made with a medium pile height of 0.31 inches, the Turin offers a comfortable underfoot feel without being overly plush, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas like hallways, dining rooms, and living spaces.
The latex backing keeps it firmly in place on hard floors. Its neutral, cool-toned palette makes it an effortless anchor for a wide range of furniture colors and decor styles — from warm wood tones to cool metallics. If you're looking for a rug that adds visual depth without competing with your existing decor, the Turin delivers quiet confidence in every thread.
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.
