Alicia Gray 5'1 x 7'6 Rug

Absolutely. This rug features a sophisticated Moroccan tile-inspired pattern that serves as a versatile anchor for contemporary spaces. The ivory pattern against a neutral gray background provides enough visual interest to act as a focal point without overwhelming other design elements. In modern or minimalist interiors, this rug adds necessary texture and a touch of "global-chic" style that pairs beautifully with clean-lined furniture and metallic accents.

This rug is hand-tufted using 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber prized for its exceptional softness and high-luster appearance. Unlike some natural fibers, polyester is naturally resistant to water-based stains and fading, making it a highly durable option for a cozy living room or bedroom. The deep pile shag construction provides a plush, luxurious feel underfoot that is ideal for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

To keep your rug looking fresh and prevent the fibers from flattening in high-traffic zones, we recommend vacuuming it regularly. For deep pile shag, it is best to use a vacuum without a beater bar—or one where the beater bar can be turned off—to avoid pulling at the tufted fibers. Additionally, periodically rotating the rug can help ensure even wear and maintain the loft of the pile across the entire surface.

While the 100% polyester fibers are durable and easier to clean than wool, the deep pile of a shag rug requires specific consideration for active households. The long fibers provide a soft, safe surface for children to play on; however, they can also trap pet hair and small debris more easily than a low-pile rug. For families with pets, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only attachment to maintain hygiene and keep the rug looking its best.

Based on our care guidelines for synthetic materials, most spills can be effectively spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and cool water. It is important to blot—never scrub—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from soaking deep into the shag pile. For a comprehensive refresh, the rug can be professionally cleaned to remove embedded dust and allergens that standard vacuuming might miss.

We highly recommend using a rug pad underneath this item. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from sliding on hard floors, and extends the life of the rug by reducing friction between the backing and the floor. For this specific 5'1" x 7'6" size, look for a pad slightly smaller than the rug itself (about 1-2 inches shorter on all sides) to ensure the edges of the rug taper naturally to the floor.
