Product Insights
The Simons Maison Soothing Textured Checkerboard Rug 120 x 180 cm delivers a warm neutral checkerboard pattern with alternating pile textures that offer a soft, tactile underfoot feel outperforming wool in initial touch. Its fade-resistant dyes keep the checkerboard crisp even in sunlit spaces, and minimal shedding preserves the contrast. The core tradeoff: this rug's plush texture and visual appeal thrive in low-traffic zones, as high footfall can flatten the pile, and it requires gentle vacuuming, immediate spot-cleaning, and professional deep cleaning to maintain its original look.

Deep Research
How 100% polyester rugs hold up and feel underfoot
- The synthetic dyeing inherent to polyester locks in pigment exceptionally well, resisting fading even in sunlit rooms—so the ivory-and-beige checkerboard retains its contrast and crispness over time, a practical plus for a rug defined by its tonal design.
- Polyester fibers lack the resilient bounce of nylon, so the rug will maintain its textured checkerboard pattern and soft feel longer when placed in low-traffic spots—guest rooms, home offices, or beside the bed rather than in hallways or entryways.
- Polyester's defining advantage is its soft, plush hand that feels comfortable right out of the package—it tends to win the 'first five seconds' comparison against wool. That instant comfort makes it a natural fit for barefoot zones like bedrooms and children's rooms where touch matters more than long-term resilience.
Checkerboard pattern in interior design and how to style it
- Unlike a flat-printed checkerboard, this rug’s textured surface introduces a tactile element that softens the pattern’s graphic edge, giving it a warmer, more handcrafted feel underfoot—especially welcome in a polyester rug that might otherwise read as purely engineered.
- The current checkerboard revival has moved away from high-contrast black‑and‑white toward richer, warmer neutrals; this rug’s ivory and cream beige palette aligns with the 2024 shift to comforting tones, offering a softer, more livable way to introduce the pattern without dominating a room.
- Checkerboard rugs create an immediate focal point because their strong grid pattern grounds furniture groupings and visually defines a zone without extra dividers; a 120 × 180 cm piece like this can anchor a small seating area or entryway, making the arrangement feel deliberate and cohesive.
- Checkerboard rugs have become a defining interior trend across 2024–2026, moving beyond retro diner associations to serve as versatile, modern anchors; this rug taps directly into that surge, positioning it as a current style move rather than a nostalgic throwback.

Q&A
2 answered- What are the recommended cleaning instructions for this rug? Is it machine washable?
- The rug is 100% polyester, which is a durable and stain-resistant material. For regular cleaning, we recommend vacuuming gently and spot-cleaning spills immediately with mild detergent and cold water. Given its size (120 x 180 cm) and textured checkerboard pattern, machine washing is not recommended—professional cleaning is best for a thorough refresh.
- Is this rug prone to shedding?
- Polyester rugs like this one are generally low-shedding compared to natural fibers. You may notice minimal initial loose fibers from manufacturing, but it should not shed significantly over time.
