Nourison Essentials Black Ivory Contemporary Area Rug
Size
Description
Crisp ivory border on a deep black field — the Nourison Essentials rug is a clean, graphic statement piece that's outdoor-safe and built to last.
A rectangular area rug with a deep, near-solid black field covering approximately 85% of the surface. A clean double-line ivory border frames the entire perimeter — an outer thin line and an inner slightly thicker line — creating a crisp, graphic frame effect. The pile is very low and smooth, with a machine-woven surface texture that appears flat and uniform. No fringe, no tassels, and no interior pattern — the design relies entirely on the stark black-and-ivory contrast. The overall impression is bold, minimal, and modern — like a graphic design element placed on the floor.

The Nourison Essentials area rug makes a bold, graphic statement with its deep black field and crisp ivory double border — a clean, timeless look that works just as well on a covered patio as it does in a modern living room.

Built for outdoor use with a latex backing and weather-resistant polypropylene construction, this rug stands up to the elements without sacrificing style.
The simple bordered design is versatile enough to anchor a minimalist interior or dress up an outdoor lounge space, pairing effortlessly with natural wood, concrete, or metal furniture. Whether you're styling a front porch, a deck dining area, or a sleek entryway, the Essentials rug delivers a sophisticated monochromatic palette that never goes out of style. Its stain-resistant surface and durable build make it a practical choice for pet owners and busy households alike.
Care & Cleaning
To maintain the look and longevity of your outdoor rugs, adhere to the following instructions:
- Use a dry cotton or white paper towel to blot out as much of the stain as possible.
- Gently scrape off any food or debris using a dull instrument.
- Prepare a cleaning solution of a small amount of dish soap mixed with a cup of cold water. With a clean sponge and this soap mixture, clean the remainder of the stain and allow it to dry.
- For comprehensive cleaning, apply a mixture of soap and water and spray over the rug, then rinse off using a garden hose.
