Description
A bold rust and cream checkerboard shag rug hand-tufted from plush wool — thick, warm, and impossible to ignore in any modern or boho space.
A rectangular high-pile shag rug featuring a large-scale two-tone checkerboard pattern. The pattern alternates between deep rust-terracotta and warm cream/ivory rectangular blocks of varying sizes — the blocks are not perfectly uniform, giving it a slightly organic, handcrafted feel. The pile is thick and fluffy, approximately 1 inch high, with a soft, slightly tousled texture visible across the entire surface. The rust blocks are a saturated, warm burnt-orange-red tone; the cream blocks are a soft off-white with warm beige undertones. No fringe, no tassels — clean bound edges. The overall impression is bold, warm, and textural — a modern Moroccan-inspired statement piece.
- Bold oversized checkerboard pattern in rust and cream

- High pile at 0.98 inches, total thickness 1.76 inches
- Warm terracotta tones suit boho, modern, and Moroccan interiors

About This Rug
The Coleka Area Rug is a bold, eye-catching piece that brings warmth and texture to any room. Its oversized checkerboard pattern alternates rich rust-terracotta and creamy ivory blocks, creating a modern yet earthy aesthetic that feels both fresh and grounded. Hand-tufted from plush wool, the high pile — nearly an inch thick — delivers a luxuriously soft underfoot experience that you'll want to sink your toes into every morning.
At 1.76 inches total thickness, this rug has real substance and presence on the floor. The two-tone color palette makes it incredibly versatile: it pairs naturally with warm wood tones, leather furniture, and earthy décor, but also pops against crisp white walls for a more contemporary look. Inspired by Beni Moroccan design traditions and crafted in India, the Coleka brings artisan character to modern interiors.
Spot clean with a dry cloth to maintain its beauty. A rug pad is recommended to keep it in place and extend its life. Whether you're styling a living room, bedroom, or reading nook, the Coleka's bold geometry and warm wool texture make it a standout centerpiece.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
