Alicia Ivory 5'1 x 7'6 Rug

This rug is hand-tufted with 100% polyester, a synthetic material prized for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to staining and fading. Unlike natural fibers, polyester is resilient against moisture and provides an incredibly soft, plush feel underfoot, making it a budget-friendly yet luxurious choice for contemporary living spaces.

While polyester is highly durable, the deep pile of a shag rug is best suited for medium-to-low traffic areas where comfort is a priority, such as bedrooms, nurseries, or "cozy zones" in a living room. For high-traffic areas like entryways, we offer this style in a runner size (2'3" x 10'), which can help define a walkway while providing a soft transition between rooms.

Actually, the opposite is true. The Moroccan trellis pattern and ivory background are designed to reflect light and create a sense of openness. At 5'1" x 7'6", this rug is perfectly scaled for urban apartments or smaller seating arrangements. It provides enough surface area to anchor a coffee table and the front legs of a sofa without overwhelming the floor space.

Quality in a shag rug is determined by fiber density and construction. This rug is hand-tufted, a process that ensures a denser, more secure attachment of the fibers compared to basic machine-made options. When you run your hand through the 100% polyester pile, you will notice a substantial "spring-back" effect, which is a hallmark of a well-constructed, high-density rug designed to resist matting over time.

The Moroccan trellis is a versatile, contemporary classic. Because of its neutral ivory and gray palette, this rug acts as a sophisticated anchor for various decor styles. It pairs beautifully with mid-century modern furniture, natural wood finishes, or even bold, colorful accents. For a cohesive look, try layering it with gray or charcoal throw pillows to pull the pattern's accent color into the rest of the room.

To maintain the "shag" texture and prevent damage, we recommend vacuuming regularly using a high-pile setting. For the best results, disable the beater bar or rotating brush on your vacuum, as these can pull or fray the hand-tufted fibers. For a deeper clean, our care guide suggests occasional professional cleaning to keep the deep ivory and gray pile looking fresh.
