Bremhaus Nedd Stripe Shag Area Rug

A solid heathered shag in beige, gray and ivory, woven into a 1.38 inch pile with fringed ends on both sides.

Beige, gray and ivory are woven together into one heathered field rather than printed as a pattern, so the color reads as texture and sits quietly under whatever furniture stands on it.

• Heathered color, not a print

  Beige, gray and ivory are woven together into one heathered field rather than printed as a pattern, so the color reads as texture rather than a print. Polypropylene yarn is machine woven to a 1.38 inch shag pile, and each end finishes in a row of braided fringe instead of a plain hem.

• Sizing it to the room

  This comes in four sizes, from 7 foot 10 by 11 foot 8 up to 12 by 15 foot 5. The smallest suits a bedroom or a den; the two largest are sized to fill a living room floor. Leave the fringed ends uncombed and lying flat rather than tucked under furniture, since that is how the trim is meant to sit.

• A pad still earns its keep

  The backing is jute, a natural fiber that grips a hard floor on its own better than a rug with no backing at all. A pad still helps on a shag this dense: it keeps the weight from compacting the pile along one traffic path and stops the rug from creeping if the jute ever loses grip on a very smooth floor.

• A little fiber while it settles

  Expect a little loose fiber to shed off in the first few weeks, which is normal for a shag this deep and settles down with regular vacuuming. It ships rolled, so give it a few days flat to work out any curl at the corners, and leave the fringe alone rather than brushing or combing it while it settles.

• Living room to home office

  This shows up in a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, an entryway, and a home office in these photos, so it moves easily between the rooms that see the most daily traffic. It's rated for indoor use only, and the fringed ends do best somewhere they will not catch a rolling chair or a vacuum constantly.

• Vacuum gently, blot fast

  Vacuum without the beater bar, or use the highest pile setting, since a spinning brush catches in shag loops and tugs at the fringe. Spot clean a spill right away with a mild cleaner and blot rather than scrub. Call a professional for a deeper clean, and shake out the fringe separately now and then to keep it from matting.

• What ships

  The rug arrives rolled in a single carton with nothing else inside. A rug pad is not included, and none of the furniture staged in the photos comes with it. Check your size against the doorway and any threshold you will carry it through, since a rolled shag this size is bulky.

• The fringe is meant to vary

  Small variations in fringe length or twist from tassel to tassel are normal on trim like this, not a defect to return over. A light shake after unpacking settles the braids into place, and they are meant to lie flat rather than be tucked under the rug.

Good to know

• The 7'10"x11'8" suits a bedroom or den; the two largest fill a living room floor.
• Fringed ends finish it like a woven rug, not a cut mat; let them lie flat, uncombed.
• At 1.38 inches it clears most interior doors, checked against a front-door threshold too.
• None. Lay it flat and weight curled edges for a few days.
• Furniture and decor shown are styling only. The rug is the product; sizes vary by the option you choose.
