Description
Rich crimson red meets intentionally faded Persian motifs — the Karma rug looks like a century-old antique with the durability of a modern machine-made piece.
A rectangular area rug dominated by a deep, saturated crimson red covering the majority of the surface, transitioning into darker burgundy tones in shadowed areas. The rug features an intentionally distressed, overdyed finish with faded gray and taupe worn-through patches distributed across the surface, revealing a ghostly traditional Persian-inspired pattern of floral scrollwork, medallion motifs, and ornate botanical details beneath. The pattern is most visible in the lighter faded zones where the underlying design shows through the overdyed color layer. The pile is low and smooth with a machine-woven texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a richly colored antique rug that has been lovingly worn over decades — bold, dramatic, and full of character.

About This Product
The Nourison Karma area rug makes a bold, moody statement with its deep crimson red base and intentionally distressed, faded finish that gives it the look of a treasured antique. Subtle gray and taupe worn-through patches reveal a ghostly traditional Persian-inspired pattern beneath — floral scrollwork and medallion motifs that feel both classic and effortlessly cool. The overdyed aesthetic means this rug pairs beautifully in both traditional and contemporary spaces, adding warmth and character without feeling stuffy.
At 0.25 inches, the low-to-medium pile is easy to maintain and holds up well in high-traffic areas like living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways. The jute backing keeps it grounded on hardwood or tile floors. Whether you're layering it over a larger neutral rug or letting it anchor a room on its own, the Karma rug brings rich, jewel-toned drama that's hard to find at this price point.
Care & Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your jute rugs, please follow these guidelines:
- Regularly vacuum the rug using a low-power setting, ensuring to approach from various angles due to the natural fiber's loose threads and knots.
- Should you encounter loose threads on the rug's surface, trim them using household scissors. To prevent damage or unraveling, avoid pulling threads from the rug's face.
- In the event of spills, blot gently with a clean, undyed cloth to absorb as much of the spill as possible, working from the edges towards the center to prevent spreading.
- If you decide to use cleaning solvents, test on a small hidden area first.
- For stubborn stains, seek the services of a professional cleaner who specializes in natural fiber rugs.
- Avoid dry cleaning as the harsh chemicals can damage or cause fading in the rug.
