Description
A plush, high-pile shag rug with a bold gray and white checkerboard pattern — equal parts retro cool and seriously soft underfoot.
A rectangular high-pile shag rug featuring an allover classic checkerboard pattern of equal-sized squares alternating between soft blue-gray and creamy off-white. The squares are uniform in size and arranged in a perfectly regular grid across the entire rug surface with no border. The pile is visibly thick and plush — approximately 1.18 inches — giving each square a slightly raised, textured appearance with soft edges where the two colors meet. The overall effect is a bold, high-contrast two-tone pattern that reads as clean and graphic from a distance but reveals rich texture up close. Edges are neatly bound with no fringe or tassels.
- Bold gray and white checkerboard pattern — a modern design statement
- High-pile shag at 1.18" — plush and soft underfoot
- Machine woven in Turkey from polypropylene and polyester blend
- 2.44" total thickness for a substantial, luxurious feel
- Easy spot clean with mild detergent — low maintenance
- Pairs with a rug pad for best grip and longevity

Plush Pile DetailAbout This Rug
The Monteagudo Area Rug brings a bold yet effortlessly cool checkerboard pattern to any room, rendered in soft blue-gray and creamy white squares that feel as good as they look. Machine woven in Turkey from a durable polypropylene and polyester blend, this high-pile shag rug delivers serious plushness underfoot — at 1.18 inches of pile height, it's the kind of rug you want to walk barefoot on every morning. The classic two-tone checkered design is having a major moment in modern and contemporary interiors, and this rug nails it without feeling trendy or overdone.
Its clean geometric pattern works equally well in a minimalist living room, a retro-inspired bedroom, or a playful home office. The neutral gray and white palette makes it easy to pair with virtually any furniture or wall color. Spot clean with mild detergent to keep it looking fresh, and pair with a rug pad for added grip and longevity.
If you want a statement rug that's also genuinely comfortable, the Monteagudo delivers on both counts.
