Lanstead Silver 5'3 x 7'3 Rug

The Lanstead collection is designed for comfort, making it a favorite for children’s play areas or cozy bedrooms. While the high pile is incredibly soft, it can trap pet hair more easily than low-pile rugs. However, since polyester is a non-porous synthetic fiber, it is more resistant to liquid spills and odors than natural materials. The solid silver color is also excellent for disguising light pet hair and lint between cleanings.

Polyester is an ideal material for humid or coastal environments because synthetic fibers are naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unlike natural fibers like wool or jute, which can absorb moisture from the air and become heavy or develop odors, this polyester rug maintains its integrity and soft feel even in high-humidity regions.

To preserve the luxuriously thick texture of a shag rug, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week using a high-pile setting. It is crucial to turn off the beater bar or use a suction-only attachment to prevent the long fibers from tangling or shedding. For homes in sandier or high-traffic coastal areas, occasionally flipping the rug over and vacuuming the back can help loosen deeply embedded grit that standard vacuuming might miss.

A 5'3 x 7'3 rug is a versatile mid-size option that works perfectly for "zoning" a space. In a bedroom, our stylists recommend placing it under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to provide a soft landing for your feet. In a living room, this size is ideal for anchoring a coffee table and the front legs of a loveseat, helping to define a contemporary seating area in an apartment or smaller open-concept home.

While this rug features a well-constructed backing designed for durability, we always recommend pairing a shag rug with a high-quality rug pad. A pad not only prevents the rug from slipping on hard floors but also provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects the underside from friction, ultimately extending the life of the fibers and keeping the "shag" looking plush for years.

Polyester is a premier choice for shoppers seeking a balance of luxury and practicality. This rug features plush polyester yarns that are naturally stain-resistant and offer exceptional color clarity, ensuring the silver tone remains vibrant over time. Because it is machine-made with a thick shag pile, it provides a "sink-your-toes-in" comfort that is more budget-friendly and easier to maintain than high-end wool alternatives.
