Description
A bold blue and white checkerboard pattern meets ultra-plush shag pile — the Kieu rug is equal parts graphic statement and cozy underfoot comfort.
A rectangular shag area rug featuring an allover checkerboard pattern of alternating slate blue and crisp white squares arranged in a uniform grid across the entire surface. The pile is thick and plush at approximately 1.77 inches, giving the squares a slightly raised, three-dimensional appearance with soft, fluffy texture visible throughout. The blue squares are a medium cool slate-blue tone and the white squares are a clean bright white, creating strong graphic contrast. Edges are bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, graphic, and modern — like a classic checkerboard rendered in luxurious shag.

Retro Reading NookAbout This Rug
The Kieu area rug brings a bold, graphic energy to any room with its classic blue and white checkerboard pattern rendered in a luxuriously plush shag pile. Standing at nearly 1.8 inches tall, the thick polyester fibers create a soft, cushiony surface underfoot that feels as good as it looks. The two-tone palette — a cool slate blue alternating with crisp white — gives this rug a fresh, modern edge that works equally well in a contemporary living room, a retro-inspired bedroom, or a playful entryway.
Machine woven for consistent quality and long-lasting construction, the Kieu is a statement piece that doesn't sacrifice comfort for style. The deep pile adds dimension and texture to the checkerboard pattern, making it look almost three-dimensional from across the room. Spot clean as needed to keep it looking its best.
Pair with a rug pad for added grip and longevity.
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.
