Alicia Blue 6' x 9' Rug

Yes. While the Alicia rug features a contemporary geometric pattern inspired by traditional Moroccan tiles, its navy and ivory color palette is timeless. This contrast allows it to serve as a sophisticated foundation in both modern and transitional spaces. In more traditional rooms, the geometric pattern adds a touch of visual interest and texture without overwhelming classic furniture pieces.

To preserve the "like-new" texture of your shag rug, our care experts recommend vacuuming regularly using a vacuum with a high-pile setting. It is crucial to turn off the beater bar or use a suction-only attachment to prevent the rotating brushes from pulling or tangling the long, soft fibers. For localized cleaning, always blot spills immediately with a dry cloth and a mild detergent, as suggested in our material care guides.

This rug is hand-tufted with high-quality synthetic fibers, such as polyester, which are specifically chosen for their exceptional softness and durability. Unlike natural wool, these fibers are naturally resistant to staining and fading, making them a more practical choice for active households. Additionally, synthetic shag rugs are known for their low-shedding properties, ensuring your living space remains clean while providing that luxurious, deep-pile feel.

While the plush shag texture offers a cozy and safe surface for children to play on, the deep pile can act as a trap for pet hair and small debris. For this reason, we recommend placing a shag rug in lower-traffic areas such as bedrooms or formal sitting rooms. However, because the rug is constructed from durable, stain-resistant synthetic materials, it can withstand occasional spills and the rigors of a busy home better than more delicate materials.

A 6' x 9' rug is a versatile size that works exceptionally well in both living and sleeping areas. In a bedroom, our sizing guide recommends placing it under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to ensure a balanced look and a soft landing for your feet. In a living room, this size is ideal for anchoring a central seating arrangement, such as a sofa and coffee table, ensuring the front legs of your furniture rest on the rug to define the space.

To keep your rug looking its best, we recommend occasional "fluffing." You can gently rake the fibers with a rug rake or simply shake the rug outdoors to restore its original volume. Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) also helps prevent fibers from becoming flattened by foot traffic. For long-term maintenance, a professional cleaning every 12-18 months is advised to remove embedded dust that can contribute to fiber matting.
