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

Warm taupe meets soft cream in this ultra-plush checkered shag — nearly 2 inches of cozy pile with a modern pattern that works in any room.

  • Plush 1.77" pile height — genuinely soft and cozy underfoot
  • Warm taupe and cream checkerboard pattern
  • Machine woven from 100% polyester for lasting durability
  • Modern geometric look that suits living rooms, bedrooms, and kids' spaces
  • Thick 1.85" total thickness adds cushion and warmth
  • Neutral palette pairs easily with a wide range of décor styles

A rectangular shag area rug with an allover checkerboard pattern of alternating warm taupe and soft cream squares of equal size. The squares are small-to-medium scale and repeat uniformly across the entire surface with no border. The pile is thick, plush, and visibly fluffy — each square has a slightly raised, looped or cut shag texture that gives the surface a dimensional, cloud-like appearance. The two colors are clearly distinct but both muted and warm, creating a cozy, tonal contrast. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. Overall impression: a soft, modern, neutral checkerboard shag with a cozy, high-pile texture.

About This Rug

The Kieu area rug brings a fresh, modern twist to any space with its classic checkerboard pattern rendered in warm taupe and soft cream. The two tones alternate in equal measure across the surface, creating a balanced, eye-catching look that feels both playful and grounded. At nearly 1.8 inches of plush pile height, this shag 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 while remaining easy to spot clean. The neutral taupe-and-cream palette makes it incredibly versatile — it works just as naturally in a minimalist living room as it does in a cozy bedroom or a child's play space. Whether you're layering it over hardwood floors or placing it on its own, the Kieu's textured, fluffy surface adds warmth and dimension without overwhelming the room. A great pick for anyone who wants a statement pattern that still plays nicely with the rest of their décor.

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.
