Lanstead Green 5'3 x 7'3 Rug

Polyester is a highly resilient synthetic fiber known for its durability and natural resistance to staining and fading. Because this rug is machine-made with these yarns, it offers a consistent, plush texture that stands up well to daily use while maintaining its vibrant green color. It is an excellent choice for shoppers seeking the premium look of a thick shag rug with the added benefit of easy-care synthetic materials.

This rug is well-suited for humid or coastal environments because polyester is a moisture-resistant synthetic material. Unlike natural fibers that may absorb dampness from the air, polyester is less prone to mold and mildew. This makes it a reliable and long-lasting choice for homes in varied geographic locations, from humid coastal regions to drier inland climates.

A plush shag rug is ideal for creating a soft, cushioned play area for children. Because this specific rug is made from polyester, it provides a level of stain resistance that is crucial for active households. While the high pile can trap pet hair more easily than low-pile options, regular maintenance with a vacuum—using a high-pile setting—will keep the surface clean and comfortable for both kids and pets.

This contemporary rug is designed for high-density comfort, featuring a luxuriously thick pile crafted from plush polyester yarns. Part of the Lanstead Collection, it offers a "sink-your-toes-in" feel that provides immediate warmth and a cozy aesthetic, making it a perfect addition to a bedroom or a relaxed living space.

To preserve the "delightfully thick" texture of your shag rug, our experts recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the long fibers. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a mild detergent and cool water. Since this rug is made of polyester, it can also be steam-cleaned as needed for a deeper refresh. For best results, occasionally shaking the rug outdoors can help dislodge deeper debris and restore the pile's natural loft.

This size is exceptionally versatile for urban apartments or smaller rooms. In a compact living room, a 5x7 rug perfectly anchors a coffee table and the front legs of a loveseat or accent chairs. In a bedroom, we recommend placing it under the lower two-thirds of a queen bed. This creates a balanced look and ensures you have a soft, warm surface underfoot when getting out of bed, without overwhelming the floor space.

While this rug features a durable machine-made backing, we generally recommend using a rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from slipping on hard floors, and adds a layer of protection that can extend the life of both the rug and your flooring. Following the "18-inch rule"—leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edges and your walls—will also help create a professionally designed, balanced look in your room.
