Cleona Taupe 3' x 5' Rug

A 3' x 5' rug is a versatile accent size that works best in transitional or smaller specialized spaces. Its dimensions are ideal for defining a cozy reading nook, placing alongside a bed for a soft landing in the morning, or grounding a small home office desk. Its "plush pile" also provides a beautiful softening balance when placed in front of clean-lined modern furniture in an entryway or walk-in closet.

This rug is an excellent option for pet owners because it is power-loomed from 100% polypropylene synthetic yarns. This material is naturally non-absorbent and moisture-resistant, making it highly effective at repelling stains and odors. Additionally, the tight power-loomed construction makes the fibers more resistant to snagging from pet claws compared to hand-tufted alternatives, ensuring the rug stays "bright and beautiful" even in busy households.

Yes, layering a rug over carpet is a great way to add "flowing dimension" and a pop of color to a room. To prevent the rug from "traveling" or buckling on top of the carpet fibers, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad specifically designed for carpet-to-rug layering. This ensures the rug stays flat and secure, protecting both the rug's backing and your home's primary flooring.

Polypropylene is a superior material for humid environments because it is resistant to mold and mildew. Unlike natural fibers like wool or jute, which can trap moisture and develop odors in damp air, these synthetic yarns are designed to withstand varying humidity levels. This makes it a perfect choice for maintaining a "relaxed West Coast aesthetic" in coastal homes or southern climates where air moisture is a constant factor.

While new rugs can experience minor fiber loss initially, power-loomed rugs crafted from synthetic yarns shed significantly less than traditional wool rugs. The fibers are machine-locked into a durable backing, which helps maintain the rug's density and posh color palette over time. With regular care and the proper vacuuming techniques mentioned above, shedding will be minimal and will stabilize shortly after placement.

To maintain the lush texture of a shag rug, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week using a vacuum with adjustable height settings or a suction-only mode. It is important to avoid using a rotating beater bar, as the spinning brush can snag or pull the long fibers. For a more thorough cleaning, our experts suggest occasionally flipping the rug over and vacuuming the backing to loosen any deeply embedded dust or debris from the base of the pile.
