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.
