Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will this shag rug shed excessively?
This rug is engineered for durability with a pile designed to minimize the shedding often associated with traditional long-fiber rugs. While minimal shedding may occur during the first few weeks as the rug settles, its solid construction and shorter pile help ensure it retains its clean look without the constant fiber loss seen in lower-quality alternatives.
Is a light-colored shag rug a good idea for a home with pets?
While the ivory color provides a beautiful, clean aesthetic, pet owners should consider that high-pile rugs can trap pet hair and dander more easily than low-pile options. If you have pets, we recommend regular vacuuming and keeping a mild detergent on hand for spot cleaning. The "durable" rating of this rug helps it stand up to daily use, but placement in a room where pets spend less time may extend its pristine appearance.
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas like a hallway or entryway?
While this rug features a durable construction, shag rugs are generally best suited for medium-to-low traffic areas like bedrooms, home offices, or cozy seating nooks. In very high-traffic zones, the plush fibers are more susceptible to matting over time. Its 5'3" x 7' dimensions make it an excellent choice for anchoring a specialized zone, such as beneath a cocktail table, where foot traffic is more controlled.
How should I clean and maintain a solid ivory shag rug?
To keep your rug looking its best, our care guide recommends regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off to prevent damage to the shag fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent. Because of its dense texture, occasionally "re-fluffing" the rug or using a rug rake can help maintain its plush, even appearance over time.
How is this shag rug different from traditional seventies-style carpeting?
The Duragny Collection updates the classic shag look with a shorter, more modern pile that maintains signature fluffiness while offering enhanced durability. This design avoids the "dated" appearance of longer fibers while providing a contemporary texture that is incredibly soft underfoot. Based on our material expertise, this shorter pile also feels fresh and updated, making it a better fit for modern spaces than traditional high-pile shag.
How does the 5’3” x 7’ size work in an urban apartment or smaller room?
This size is ideal for apartment living or smaller suburban rooms where space is at a premium. It is perfectly scaled to ground a standard seating arrangement or fit under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed while leaving a stylish border of the floor visible. Additionally, the light ivory tone helps reflect light, making smaller rooms feel significantly more open and airy.
