Shinnwood V White 6'7 Square Rug

Square rugs are a sophisticated design choice specifically engineered to ground symmetrical spaces. They excel in square-shaped rooms or when placed beneath square or round dining tables to mirror the room's proportions. In open-concept living areas, a square profile can help define a distinct, balanced seating zone without the directional pull of a traditional rectangular rug, creating a more centered and cohesive feel.

Yes. This rug is meticulously woven from high-grade polypropylene, a synthetic fiber prized for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to staining and moisture. Unlike some natural fibers that can absorb spills, polypropylene’s non-porous nature makes it a premier choice for high-traffic "family spaces" where messes are common. The medium pile height offers a soft, comfortable surface for children to play on while remaining resilient enough to withstand heavy foot traffic and pet activity.

One of the primary advantages of this meticulously woven polypropylene construction is that it is virtually non-shedding. Unlike wool rugs, which often release loose fibers for the first several months, these synthetic fibers are designed to stay intact. This makes it an excellent, low-maintenance option for allergy-prone households or for those who want to avoid the constant upkeep of shedding natural fibers.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the rug, we recommend regular vacuuming without a beater bar, as high-suction rotating brushes can cause unnecessary wear on the medium pile fibers. For everyday spills, our care instructions recommend spot cleaning immediately with a dry, clean cloth. Because of the moisture-resistant properties of polypropylene, it is much easier to maintain than natural fibers, though it is vital to avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the traditional Oriental pattern.

While the rug features a durable woven backing, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. A rug pad serves three essential functions: it prevents the rug from slipping or bunching in high-traffic areas, adds a layer of comfort underfoot, and acts as a buffer to protect both your flooring and the underside of the rug from friction. This simple addition will significantly extend the life of your rug and enhance safety in the home.
