Morocco Rug from VivaTerra
The reality is that the floor is some parts of your home gets dirty . . . very dirty. But that doesn’t mean that you have to give up on a rug that makes a style statement for fear of ruining it with muddy paw prints and spilled wine. These eco-friendly rugs are made from recycled plastic bottles and packing materials so they don’t absorb stains. Cleaning is a cinch with a damp sponge or even a garden hose (and they won’t mildew even outside). Go ahead . . . dress up your patio, bathroom, entryway or kitchen floor with a splash of care-free color. Starting at only $49 for a 4×6, the price is as practical as the product. I can’t wait to order one for my studio. . . if I can just decide on a print. Kasbah or moroccan rug?
More colors and styles are available at Viva Terra or Gaiam, where you can also read customer raves.
