Bremhaus Gwendraeth Orange Shag Rug

A dense orange shag with a 1.5 inch pile, woven from stain and water resistant polypropylene, so it reads plush without punishing a spill.

Pile height runs 1.5 inches, deep enough that bare feet sink in and the room goes quiet underfoot. It is built as a shag from the start, not a low weave styled to look plush.

• A true shag pile

  Pile height runs 1.5 inches, deep enough that a table leg can disappear into it and the room goes quiet underfoot. This is built as a shag from the start, with fiber standing thick and loose rather than a low weave brushed up to look plush.

• Built to take a spill

  The polypropylene fiber is rated water resistant, stain resistant and fade resistant, so a dropped glass or a sunny window is not a running worry the way it would be on a wool shag. The solid burnt orange color has no pattern to interrupt, so a stray fiber or a faint mark shows less than it would on a lighter neutral.

• Material and pile

  The face is polypropylene, machine woven into a true shag 1.5 inches deep over a jute backing. Fold a corner back and the backing is a tight, flat weave rather than foam, which is what keeps the rug lying flat instead of bunching at the edges the way a tufted shag can.

• Choosing your size

  This one comes in two sizes, both cut for open floor rather than a narrow hallway, so measure the room before you order. The 9 by 12 foot size fits a standard living room with a sofa's front feet resting on the rug. The 10 by 13 foot 1 inch size suits a more open room, or a round dining table that seats six.

• Use a rug pad

  The jute backing already grips a hard floor better than a smooth synthetic backing would, but a pad is still recommended and not included. It adds a layer of protection between the jute and the floor, and makes it easier to roll a desk chair or slide a dining chair across a pile this deep.

• Settling in

  A shag this deep can shed a few loose fiber ends in the first weeks as the pile breaks in, which is normal and settles down with regular care. Vacuuming with no beater bar or rotating brush from day one is what keeps that early shedding to a minimum instead of pulling more fiber loose.

• Where it works

  It's rated for indoor use and suits a living room, a bedroom, an entryway or a home office, exactly as shown here. In a dining room, know that chair legs sink into a pile this deep, so pushing back from the table takes more effort than it would on a low weave.

• Everyday care

  Vacuum with no beater bar or rotating brush; suction alone is enough, since a spinning brush pulls a shag pile loose over time. The fiber resists everyday spills, but that covers the face, not the jute underneath, so blot a spill promptly instead of soaking it, and skip a steam cleaner or a hose even though the fiber is water resistant. Save a deep clean for a professional.

• What ships

  The rug arrives on its own, exactly as shown; a rug pad and the furniture or decor styled around it in these photos are not included. A limited lifetime warranty is included, and it comes in a 9 by 12 foot or a 10 by 13 foot 1 inch size, both machine woven from polypropylene over a jute backing.
