Cleona Maroon 8' x 10' Rug

One of the primary advantages of power-loomed synthetic yarns is that they are significantly more resistant to shedding than hand-tufted wool. Because the fibers are mechanically secured into the backing, you won't have to worry about the persistent "fuzz" or shedding that often accompanies new natural-fiber rugs, making this a cleaner choice for homes with allergies or dark-colored flooring.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile "anchor" size. In a living room, it is ideally sized to fit under the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs, visually unifying the seating area. For a bedroom, this scale is perfect for a Queen or King bed; our styling guides recommend placing it under the lower two-thirds of the bed so you have a soft, warm landing for your feet on both sides.

A maroon shag rug can be surprisingly practical for pet owners. The deep, multi-tonal color is excellent at camouflaging pet hair and minor tracking between cleanings. While the high pile is incredibly soft, the synthetic polypropylene fibers are resistant to the odors and staining often associated with pets. We recommend regular vacuuming to ensure dander doesn't settle deep into the lush pile.

This rug is power-loomed using durable polypropylene, a synthetic fiber prized for its inherent moisture and stain resistance. Unlike natural fibers, polypropylene is non-porous, meaning spills tend to sit on the surface rather than soaking in, making it much easier to spot-clean with a mild detergent. It is an ideal material for those who want the luxurious feel of a shag rug without the sensitive maintenance requirements of wool.

While this rug is built with durable synthetic yarns, we generally recommend shag styles for medium-to-low traffic areas, such as bedrooms, nurseries, or formal sitting rooms. In high-traffic urban hallways, the long fibers may begin to "mat" or flatten over time due to constant compression. If you love this look for a transitional space, consider one of the smaller sizes, like the 2' x 7' runner, which is easier to rotate and refresh.

To keep a high-pile shag rug looking its best, we recommend vacuuming at least twice a week using a vacuum with a high-pile setting and the beater bar turned off. This prevents the rotating brush from pulling or damaging the long fibers. For a deeper refresh, our experts suggest occasionally taking the rug outside and gently shaking it or using a rug rake to lift and restore the "fluff" in high-traffic spots.
