Shag Rug

Shag rugs were extremely popular in the 1960's and are making a comeback in a huge way. Shag rugs are not only very comfortable, but also a great decorating tool for just about anyone's style. Shag rugs offer a contemporary look to any room. You can get shag rugs in a lot of different styles. One of the most popular styles is the wool shag rug. Wool shag rugs are great because they can come in a mixture of colors that really pop out to whoever comes into the room. You can also go with a classic wool shag rug in a basic color. This is great if you already have a lot of different patterns going on in the room. If you have a lot of pastels already in the room, you will want to get a brighter color to add a little more to the room. If you have bright colors already, consider a wool shag rug in cream or white color. One of the great things about a shag rug is the softness of it. This makes it a very popular choice for nurseries and children's rooms.

For children's rooms, my favorite is the shag rug that is a rainbow of red, blue, yellow and orange color. This type of shag rug would also work very well in a pre-school classroom or a kindergarten classroom. Cotton shag rugs are another type of shag rug that are very popular. A lot of these come hand woven. You can even get them made out of chenille, for an extra soft feel. Shag rugs are also a popular choice for pre-teen and teenage girls rooms. With the variety of bright colors and designs, they often pick these out to go with a bright satin comforter. Some suggested colors when shopping for a girls room are pink, purple, yellow,green and even polka dots. They even have some called "bubble gum", in the brightest pink. If you're looking to put a shag rug in an office, consider getting a leather shag rug. This offers a very elegant look to the room, and looks great in front of a desk.

If you're looking for one to use in the living room, a lot depends upon what size you want the rug to be.  If you're going to be putting it in front of the couch, you should probably go with a rectangular shag rug.  You can place your coffee table on top of it, or just have it to make the room look larger.  If you're putting the rug in front of a fire place, you might want to go with an oval or circular shaped shag rug.

If you are environmentally friendly, consider getting a shag rug made out bamboo. Because everyone is starting to live green, bamboo rugs are getting very popular, so you are able to find them in more places. This type of shag rug is also fairly easy to maintain. If it gets dirty,simply clean with a mop or a damp cloth, and you're good to go. Bamboo shag carpets are also a bit more durable than other types of shag rugs, so if taken care of, you can count on this to last for quite some time.

If you're going to be putting the shag rug in your bedroom, you will want to take into consideration how you're planning on decorating your bedroom. If you already have your bedroom the way you want, you will want to try and find a shag rug that goes well with your bedding. If you have a patterned bedding set, try a solid color shag rug. Remember that the lighter the color you choose for your shag rug, the larger your room will appear. As far as sizes go for your rug, you can get them from 2x3, to 12 x 18,10' Octagon, and 10' Square. If you have hard wood floors, larger ones will soften the look to the room and also add some heating to your room come winter time.

Pricing for shag rugs depends on where you choose to get them from, what size the rug is, and what materials it's made out of. Larger chain stores might carry a few types of shag carpets for you to choose from so if you don't mind a minimal selection, you could go there and look. Home furnishing stores, and rug speciality stores will be your best bet if you want a larger selection to choose from. You can also check with local carpet stores to see if they sell rugs. Another popular choice nowadays is to shop from the internet. There are lots of shag rug stores online that you can shop from in the convenience of your own home. What's great about some store websites is that you can read other shopper's review beforehand, making your decision easier. If you don't mind spending some extra on shipping, online might be the right way for you to go. There are tons of rug options on the internet.
