Shepdell Gray/Gold 5'3 x 7'3 Rug

Polyester is an excellent material for high-traffic zones because it is inherently resilient and resistant to stretching and shrinking. This rug is crafted from softly textured polyester yarns, which provide a durable yet comfortable surface that maintains its shape even in the busiest areas of your home. Additionally, polyester is known for its impressive colorfastness, ensuring the elegant gold and gray tones remain vibrant over time.

Maintaining this rug is straightforward due to its synthetic construction. Based on our expert care recommendations for polyester, we suggest regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling into the fibers. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, you can spot-clean using a mild detergent and cool water. Its machine-made construction is specifically designed for easy upkeep in active households.

Not at all. The shimmering sheen and Art Deco-inspired abstract pattern are designed to add an elevated, contemporary feel without overwhelming a space. Because the color palette consists of neutral grays and silvers with gold accents, it pairs seamlessly with both cool and warm furniture tones. To highlight the rug’s metallic shimmer, consider pairing it with sleek metallic floor lamps or glass-topped coffee tables that allow the light to reflect off the rug's surface.

Yes, this rug is specifically designed for busy households with kids and pets. The polyester fibers are non-absorbent, making them naturally resistant to stains and easier to clean after accidental spills. The low-pile, machine-made construction also lacks the long loops found in some other styles, which helps prevent pets' claws from snagging and keeps the rug looking pristine longer.

A 5x7 rug is a versatile "mid-size" option that works beautifully to anchor specific zones. In a living room, it is the perfect size to ground a coffee table with the front legs of a sofa resting on the edges. It is also an ideal choice for a home office, a nursery, or under a small dining set. For a balanced look, we recommend following the "18-inch rule," leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the rug edges and the walls to help the room feel more spacious.

This rug features a low-profile construction (0.39" height), which offers several functional advantages. Lower piles are significantly easier to vacuum and are less likely to trap allergens compared to high-shag options. Practically, a low profile provides better clearance for doors to swing freely and is the ideal height for households that use robot vacuums, as it allows the devices to transition onto the rug without getting stuck.
