Description
A graphic black-and-white checkerboard pattern in a thick, ultra-plush shag pile — the Atira turns any floor into a bold design statement.
A rectangular shag area rug with a classic checkerboard pattern of alternating deep black and bright white squares arranged in a uniform grid across the entire surface. The thick, high-pile shag construction — approximately 2 inches tall — gives each square a slightly raised, fluffy texture that creates subtle dimensional depth and soft shadow lines between the color blocks. The pile is dense and plush, with individual fibers visible giving the surface a slightly tousled, luxurious appearance. The edges appear cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. Viewed straight on, the pattern reads as a crisp, graphic black-and-white checkerboard; at an angle, the pile height creates a soft, almost three-dimensional optical effect.
- Bold black & white checkerboard pattern — graphic and versatile
- Ultra-plush shag pile at nearly 2 inches thick
- Machine woven 100% polypropylene — durable and easy to maintain
- Monochromatic palette pairs with virtually any decor

Pet-Friendly Living RoomAbout This Rug
The Atira Black & White Checkered Shag Rug is a bold, eye-catching statement piece that brings graphic energy and plush comfort together in one design. The classic checkerboard pattern — alternating squares of deep black and crisp white — is rendered in a thick, high-pile shag construction that gives the pattern a dimensional, almost three-dimensional quality. At nearly 2 inches of pile height, this rug is genuinely soft underfoot, making it as comfortable as it is striking.
Machine woven from 100% polypropylene, it's built to hold up in busy living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways without sacrificing style. The monochromatic palette makes it incredibly versatile — it pairs effortlessly with virtually any furniture color or room aesthetic, from Scandinavian minimalist to bold contemporary. Spot cleaning keeps maintenance simple.
We recommend pairing with a rug pad to prevent movement on hard floors. Whether you're anchoring a seating area or adding a graphic punch to a neutral room, the Atira delivers serious visual impact with serious softness.
Care & Cleaning
Follow these steps to keep your shag rugs looking their best:
- Use a wool-approved product in combination with spray extraction for cleaning.
- Note that shedding is a normal occurrence for shag rugs and will decrease over time. Avoid pulling the yarn out as it may cause rug damage.
- For effective cleaning, opt for canister vacuums without a beater bar. Vacuums that have beater bars and/or brushes, or those set too low, may potentially damage the rug's surface.

When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room's acoustics.
