Description
A cream shag rug covered in bold black crosses — this plush, modern design adds graphic punch without overwhelming a room. Soft underfoot, endlessly versatile.
A rectangular shag area rug with a warm cream/off-white base covering approximately 70% of the surface. Evenly distributed across the entire field are bold black cross (plus-sign) motifs in a loose, allover repeat pattern — roughly 6-7 rows across and 8-9 rows down. The crosses have a slightly organic, hand-drawn quality with slightly irregular edges, giving them a textured rather than perfectly geometric appearance. The pile is visibly thick and plush, with a shaggy texture visible throughout the cream areas. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is graphic, modern, and cozy — like a Moroccan-inspired Beni Ourain translated into a plush shag format.

- Machine woven 100% polypropylene for long-lasting durability

Pet-Friendly Living RoomAbout This Rug
The Gambo Area Rug brings a bold yet understated energy to any room with its repeating black cross motif scattered across a soft cream shag field. The pattern draws from Moroccan and Scandinavian minimalist traditions — simple, graphic, and endlessly versatile. Crafted from 100% polypropylene and machine woven in Turkey, this plush pile rug sits at a generous 1.1-inch pile height, making it genuinely soft underfoot.
The cream base brightens up a space while the black crosses add just enough contrast to anchor furniture and define a seating area. It works beautifully in modern living rooms, bedrooms, or even a boho-inspired home office. The neutral black-and-cream palette means it pairs effortlessly with almost any furniture color — from natural wood tones to dark charcoal sofas.
For best results, use with a rug pad to keep it in place, and note that professional cleaning is recommended to maintain its plush texture over time.
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.
