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

Thick, cloud-soft checkerboard shag in warm taupe and cream — the Kieu rug turns any floor into a cozy statement. Nearly 2 inches of plush pile you'll want to sink your toes into.

  • Ultra-plush 1.77" pile height — genuinely thick and soft underfoot
  • Classic checkerboard pattern in warm taupe and cream
  • Machine woven from 100% polyester for consistent texture
  • Neutral palette pairs easily with most furniture and decor
  • Thick 1.85" total thickness — substantial and cushiony feel
  • Spot clean with mild detergent for easy maintenance

A rectangular plush shag rug with an allover checkerboard pattern of alternating taupe and cream squares of equal size, arranged in a precise grid across the entire surface. The taupe squares are a warm medium-gray brown tone, and the cream squares are a soft off-white — both rendered in thick, tufted high-pile polyester that gives the surface a fluffy, dimensional texture. The pile is dense and stands upright, creating slight shadow variation between squares that adds depth to the pattern. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a cozy, modern, high-pile shag with a classic geometric motif in a warm neutral palette.

Styling Guide

calm, cozy, and effortlessly neutral

neutral palette

Warm taupe covers roughly half the rug in its raised checkered squares, while soft cream fills the alternating blocks — the two tones play off each other to create a cozy, understated palette that reads as neutral from a distance but has real visual depth up close.

About This Rug

The Kieu area rug brings a fresh, modern twist to any room with its classic checkerboard pattern rendered in soft taupe and cream tones. At nearly 1.8 inches of plush pile height, this rug is genuinely thick and cloud-soft underfoot — customers rave about how good it feels between their toes first thing in the morning. Machine woven from 100% polyester, it delivers a consistent, fluffy texture across the entire surface with a satisfying density that makes it feel substantial beneath your feet. The neutral taupe and cream color palette is incredibly versatile — it works just as well in a minimalist modern bedroom as it does in a farmhouse-style living room or a cozy transitional space. The checkered pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming a room, making it easy to pair with both bold and understated furniture. Whether you're refreshing a bedroom, living room, or reading nook, the Kieu rug offers that rare combination of eye-catching style and genuine comfort. A rug pad is recommended to keep it in place and extend its life.

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.
