Description
A crisp olive and cream checkerboard pattern meets real-world washability — the Anthea is the rare rug that looks great and survives everyday life.
A rectangular area rug with an allover checkerboard pattern composed of evenly spaced, uniform squares alternating between muted olive green and off-white cream. The olive squares have a slightly textured, woven surface appearance while the cream squares appear slightly recessed, creating a subtle dimensional effect. The pile is medium-low with a smooth, tight machine-woven finish. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is crisp, graphic, and quietly earthy — like a classic check pattern rendered in natural, organic tones.

- Soft polypropylene + chenille-polyester blend, 0.31" pile

About This Rug
The Anthea Washable Area Rug brings a fresh, understated charm to any room with its classic olive and cream checkerboard pattern. Machine-woven in Turkey from a soft polypropylene and chenille-polyester blend, this rug delivers a satisfying texture underfoot — plush enough to feel cozy, durable enough for busy households. The repeating square grid pattern is clean and versatile, working equally well in a modern living room, a transitional dining space, or a farmhouse-style bedroom.
At 0.31 inches of medium pile, it has just enough cushion without feeling bulky. What really sets it apart is the machine-washable construction — toss it in on a delicate cycle and lay flat to dry, making it a genuinely practical choice for homes with pets, kids, or high foot traffic. The muted olive-and-cream palette pairs beautifully with natural wood tones, linen upholstery, and warm white walls.
Whether you're refreshing a living room or anchoring a reading nook, the Anthea delivers style and real-world functionality in equal measure.
Care & Cleaning
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.
