Product Care

Follow these steps to keep your shag rugs looking their best:

  1. Use a wool-approved product in combination with spray extraction for cleaning.
  2. Note that shedding is a normal occurrence for shag rugs and will decrease over time. Avoid pulling the yarn out as it may cause rug damage.
  3. For effective cleaning, opt for canister vacuums without a beater bar. Vacuums that have beater bars and/or brushes, or those set too low, may potentially damage the rug's surface.

Product Highlights

A bold black and white checkerboard shag rug with nearly 2 inches of plush pile — graphic, retro-modern, and impossibly soft underfoot.

  • Bold black & white checkerboard pattern — graphic and eye-catching
  • Thick plush shag pile at 1.77 inches — luxuriously soft underfoot
  • Machine woven from 100% polyester for lasting color and shape
  • Retro-modern aesthetic suits contemporary and eclectic interiors
  • High-contrast pattern hides everyday dirt and debris well
  • Substantial 1.85-inch total thickness — feels premium underfoot

A rectangular shag area rug with an allover classic checkerboard pattern in deep charcoal black and crisp off-white, with squares of roughly equal size distributed evenly across the entire surface. The thick, high pile (approximately 1.77 inches) gives each square a slightly soft, textured edge rather than a hard graphic line, lending the pattern a tactile, organic quality. The pile is dense and plush, with a slightly irregular surface texture visible across the rug. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, graphic, and modern — like a classic checkerboard rendered in luxurious shag.

Styling Guide

A perfectly even split of deep charcoal black and crisp off-white, alternating in a classic checkerboard grid. The high pile gives each square a slightly soft-edged, tactile quality rather than a hard graphic look — bold but not harsh.

About This Rug

The Kieu area rug makes a bold, graphic statement with its classic black and white checkerboard pattern rendered in a thick, plush shag pile. Each square is defined by the contrast between deep charcoal black and crisp off-white, creating a retro-modern look that feels both playful and sophisticated. At nearly 1.8 inches of pile height, this rug is genuinely soft underfoot — the kind you want to sink your toes into. Machine woven from 100% polyester, it holds its shape and color well over time. The high-pile texture gives the checkerboard pattern a slightly organic, handcrafted feel, with each square having a subtle irregularity that keeps it from feeling too rigid or corporate. It works beautifully in modern living rooms, bedrooms, or as a statement piece in a minimalist entryway. Pair it with black metal furniture, natural wood tones, or bold accent colors to let the graphic pattern do the talking. Spot clean as needed to keep it looking fresh.

Polypropylene Rugs

Polypropylene rugs are durable, stain-resistant, and lightweight, making them a practical choice for busy households. They don’t hold onto moisture, so they dry quickly and are easy to keep clean.

These rugs are well-suited for high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and even outdoor spaces. With simple care, they maintain their colour and shape through years of everyday use.

Benefits of Polypropylene Rugs

  • Resistant to stains and fading
  • Quick-drying and easy to clean
  • Durable for busy indoor and outdoor areas

Living Room

When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room’s acoustics.

Dining Room

When selecting a dining room rug, choose one large enough to fit under the table and chairs, ensuring that when the chairs are pulled out, they remain on the rug for a balanced look.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, opt for a rug that extends under the bed, providing a soft surface to step onto when getting out of bed and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Kitchen

For the kitchen, select a rug to place in front of the sink or under the countertops, offering comfort while standing and adding warmth to the space.

Bathroom

Choose a bathroom rug that fits comfortably in front of the sink or shower, providing a soft and absorbent surface for stepping out. For larger bathrooms, consider a rug that covers more area to enhance warmth and comfort.

Outdoor

For outdoor spaces like patios or decks, select a rug that complements the size of your seating area, leaving enough space around the furniture to create a well-defined and inviting look. Opt for weather-resistant materials to ensure durability.
