Shaggy Rugs

If you’ve ever seen a retro sixties or seventies pop art style room you’re likely to have come across a typical shaggy rug from that era. But these days shaggy rugs are making a comeback and can be seen in the best contemporary interiors although in a slightly different form from their hippy style counterparts from years gone by. They have a deep pile made of single strands knotted onto the backing material. Although less dense pile than regular carpeting they have a luxurious look because of the length of the pile but prices are similar to normal carpet for similar fibers. The thing with contemporary shaggy rugs however is the use of new materials and slightly shorter pile dragging them into the 21st century. I have seen a beautiful soft pink shaggy raggy rug made of soft jersey t-shirt like fabric strips used in bedroom interior. You can buy these in all colors especially pastel shades and they are generally washable making them wonderful for a bathroom rug or a bedroom.

You can get a more traditional shaggy wool rug too in natural colors which looks great on a hardwood oak floor or a purple or red shaggy rug for a teen bedroom. There are enough different rugs to suit all tastes. They are best used in areas where you look but don’t walk too much in dirty shoes and ones such as in front of the fireside where you might like to curl up with a good book. If the winds of fashion turn again it is a lot easier to replace your shaggy rug with the latest in interior design without having to replace a whole carpet Shaggy Rugs. Source “flooringcarpetsrugs
