Clement Smiley Face Plush Accent Rug - Neutral Tones, Lofted Plush Pile with a Coated Grip Backing, Soft Bedside Mat

The VoriHaus Smiley Face Accent Rug is a plush mat with a simple smiling face and hand drawn lettering worked into the surface. The motif is drawn rather than set in a mechanical typeface, so the line has some weight to it and the rug reads as a piece of graphic design rather than a novelty print. The pile is lofted on its own, with no foam core underneath, which is what gives it a soft step without adding bulk to the profile.

It comes in neutral tones, so the face carries the interest and the color stays quiet, which is what makes it work as an accent rug rather than as a bath mat. It sits well beside a bed, inside a front door, at the end of a kitchen run, or anywhere a small rug is wanted to lift one corner of a room. The design is symmetrical enough that it reads the same from either approach.

The underside carries a grippy coating, which helps the rug hold position on a hard floor. Lay it flat on a dry floor and smooth it down before walking on it. The rug is colorfast and holds its shape and its color through repeated washing, so it can be cleaned as often as a piece in a high traffic spot needs to be. Keep it away from standing water, since it is sold as a decorative rug and carries no absorbency claim.
