Description
A crisp ivory field with a clean double black border — this minimalist Nourison Essentials rug is built for indoor and outdoor use with durable low-pile polypropylene.
A rectangular area rug with a large, open ivory/off-white center field taking up approximately 85% of the surface. The rug is framed by a clean double-line black border — a thin outer line and a slightly thicker inner line running parallel, creating a classic hotel-lobby or gallery-style border effect. The surface texture is smooth and low-profile, consistent with a machine-woven polypropylene construction at 0.25 inches pile height. No fringe, no tassels, no pattern within the field — purely a flat, clean ivory ground with the graphic black border as the sole design element. Edges are neatly bound. The overall impression is crisp, minimal, and architectural.

About This Rug
The Nourison Essentials area rug keeps things refreshingly simple — a clean ivory field framed by a crisp double black border that works in virtually any space. The minimalist border design is timeless without being boring, making it an easy anchor for modern, contemporary, or transitional interiors. Built for both indoor and outdoor use, this rug is crafted from durable polypropylene with a low 0.25-inch pile that stands up to foot traffic, UV exposure, and the elements without fading or matting.
The foam latex backing keeps it firmly in place on hard surfaces, whether that's a hardwood living room floor or a covered patio deck. At just a quarter inch thick, it lays flat quickly and is easy to move and reposition. The neutral ivory and black palette pairs effortlessly with almost any furniture color or wall tone, making it a versatile choice for entryways, dining rooms, patios, or porches.
If you want a rug that disappears into the background in the best possible way — letting your furniture and décor take center stage — this is it.
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.
