Size and pattern considerations

How it fits your space

Measure the room and furniture layout before ordering 5.5x8.5 Vintage Distressed Kars Carpet. Leave enough border around the rug and use an appropriate rug pad for the floor surface.

Provide ample room to showcase the size and distinct pattern

Best with hardwood, stone, tile, concrete, and layered neutral interiors where the rug size, pattern, and palette fit the furniture layout.

Always follow the manufacturer's care, use, and safety guidance.

Quiet pattern, grounded room

Earthy browns and soft taupes, gently worn, with three medallions that pull a space together without speaking over it.

Lived-in beauty

A Kars rug that steadies the room

Distressed, not delicate

Large rooms often feel unfinished when the floor is left bare or the textile is undersized. The 5.5x8.5 Vintage Distressed Kars Carpet brings scale and a confident center, so furniture stops floating and conversation falls into place. Its muted palette reads as a calm backdrop while the pattern adds quiet movement.

Anchor and soften

A rug is how a room greets you—underfoot, every day. This Kars piece folds warmth, sound, and pattern into one gesture, making the edges of the room feel closer and more intentional. The size lets the design breathe, so the story of the space is clear.

For rooms that earn their keep

Someone shaping a living, dining, or studio area who wants a timeworn, tonal rug to ground gatherings and art without shouting.

Where it lives well

Place under a sofa and chairs or a dining table so the medallions sit centered and the border frames the seating group.

Heritage in hand-selected textiles

Old New House® maker story

Old New House® brings a generational eye to hand‑picked vintage and antique rugs. Dave draws on a four‑generation line on his mother’s side and a five‑generation lineage on his father’s side in designing, manufacturing and importing hand knotted rugs dating to the mid‑1800s. Together with Melissa—who photographs and edits every listing—they curate each textile and also make one‑of‑a‑kind furniture and pillows. Operating from a flagship showroom in the NYC suburbs and balancing family life with two young children, they prioritize quality, craftsmanship, and the decorative story behind each piece. If you want authentic hand‑knotted construction presented with thoughtful photography and considered editing, Old New House® offers highly curated, sustainable‑luxury choices that sit comfortably in modern interiors.
