Product Insights
The Simons Maison Faded Checkerboard Rug offers a commercial-grade, low-pile polyester construction that withstands heavy foot traffic without matting, resists fading and yellowing, and hides footprints and vacuum marks, while its 7 mm pile remains plush. The heathered grey micro-variegation softens the checkerboard pattern, aligning with a refined, calm neutral-tone aesthetic. However, the jute backing provides natural grip on hardwood floors but requires a rug pad to prevent sliding and protect the floor; the rug is not machine-washable—only spot clean—and is available in a single 150x215 cm size with no custom orders. Initial shedding is normal but slows within months, and vacuuming accelerates settling.
