It wasn’t long ago that most of us considered shag rugs to be something of a joke, an unfortunate throwback to the 1970′s when everything seemed to be the height of bad taste. These days some people still don’t have a taste for these comfy rugs but more fashionable people than ever are starting to come round to their endearing nature and designers are pushing out more funky examples for us to buy.
They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and in a number of different designs. They have a super shaggy, slightly disheveled look that makes them so comfortable to relax on. These aren’t the same as the luminous green examples you might have found in your mothers living room 35 years ago, they are now stylish and a pleasure to own.
Sheep’s wool shag rugs are perhaps the most popular but you can also find goat hair rug styles that are suitable for any home. For something a little more “out there” you might want to look at a wild pink or yellow shag rug for a retro look. One thing is for sure, a great shag rug will create a talking point for guests and will become an important component of your home.
Leather shag rugs are another idea you might want to look at and are really a little special. The leather can actually be mixed with fabric to make them softer and to give them a nicer texture and feel.
Check out any or all of the retailers who have set up shop on the Internet to see if you can bring yourself to put a new shag area rug in your home. You will find a mind boggling array of designs to choose from and you won’t have to spend a fortune to get something that really stands out. And you can have it delivered to your door without getting out of your chair.
