Shauston Gray 5'3 x 7'7 Rug

Selecting the right size is critical for anchoring your room. The 5'3" x 7'7" rug is perfect for smaller seating areas, home offices, or placing under a coffee table to define a central focal point. For a standard living room, the 7'10" x 10'6" size is recommended; our placement guides suggest choosing a rug large enough so that at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on the rug. This creates a cohesive "island" for your furniture and prevents the rug from looking too small for the space.

This rug is an excellent selection for both. Polyester is a non-absorbent synthetic material, which means it is naturally resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew—a vital feature for homes in humid or coastal environments. For pet owners, the durable machine-woven construction is resistant to snagging, and because polyester doesn't absorb liquids as readily as natural fibers, it is much easier to clean up accidental messes and manage pet dander.

Space-dyed yarns undergo a specialized dyeing process where multiple colors are applied along a single strand of fiber. This creates a beautiful, multi-tonal "heathered" effect that adds visual interest and a handcrafted feel to the machine-woven construction. Practically, this varied color profile is excellent for disguising minor dust and light wear between cleanings, making it a "forgiving" choice for active living spaces.

For a plush rug with a 1-inch thickness, our care experts recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling deep into the fibers. When vacuuming near the fringe, we suggest turning off the beater bar or using a handheld attachment to avoid tangling or damaging the decorative edges. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot clean with a mild detergent. Based on our expertise with high-pile textiles, we also recommend professional cleaning periodically to maintain the rug's texture and longevity.

Absolutely. While this rug is designed with a "boho" flair, the ogee pattern is a classic geometric motif that has been a staple in interior design for centuries. Because it features a versatile gray color palette, it serves as a sophisticated neutral that can bridge the gap between eclectic boho styles and more structured transitional decor. The added texture of the space-dyed yarns provides a modern depth that complements both contemporary and classic furniture.

Yes, 100% polyester is an exceptionally resilient synthetic fiber, making it an ideal choice for busy households. This rug is machine-woven, a construction method that ensures high-density fiber packing for enhanced durability and consistent wear. Polyester is inherently stain-resistant and holds its color well, meaning it can withstand the rigors of daily life while maintaining its vibrant, space-dyed appearance.
