Description
A soft gray and white checkerboard pattern meets real-world washability — the Anthea is the kind of clean, modern rug that works everywhere and cleans up in minutes.
A rectangular area rug with a crisp, allover checkerboard pattern composed of small, evenly spaced squares arranged in a repeating grid across the entire surface. The base is a clean off-white to warm white, with the alternating squares rendered in a soft warm light gray — the contrast is gentle rather than stark, giving the rug a tone-on-tone quality. The pile has a subtle raised texture visible in the woven squares, suggesting a medium-low loop or cut pile with slight dimensional variation between the white and gray sections. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a modern, minimalist rug with quiet geometric structure — understated but visually interesting up close.
- Fully machine washable — delicate cycle, lay flat to dry
- Soft gray and white checkerboard pattern, works in any room
- Durable polypropylene and chenille-polyester blend
- Medium pile at 0.31" — comfortable underfoot, not bulky
- Machine-woven in Turkey with meticulous construction
- Pet and kid friendly — easy to clean, built for real life

About This Rug
The Anthea Washable Area Rug brings a clean, understated elegance to any room with its soft gray and white checkerboard pattern. Machine-woven in Turkey from a durable polypropylene and chenille-polyester blend, this rug strikes the perfect balance between style and practicality.

Best of all, it's fully machine washable — just toss it in on a delicate cycle and lay flat to dry.

Our washable rugs are designed with family and pet-friendly features, such as stain-resistance and lightweight fabric. To extend their lifespan, follow these cleaning recommendations:
- For minor spills, use a cotton cloth or paper towel to blot the spill from the edges towards the center. Use a mixture of dish soap and cold water for spot cleaning.
- For larger spills and stubborn stains, you can machine-wash the rug. Clean or wash immediately after major accidents for optimal results.
