Why you should make your decor shaggy

There are numerous compelling reasons to embrace a shaggy decor aesthetic, and here are the key highlights:

Visual Interest: Shag area rugs can introduce visual interest and contrast in a room. Their unique texture can break up the monotony of a space with hard surfaces and clean lines, adding a touch of playfulness and personality.

Warmth and Softness: Whether you're walking barefoot or sitting on the rug, you'll instantly feel the difference in comfort compared to other types of rugs. It is the long, plush fibers that create a cushioned surface that feels luxurious and cozy. This can be especially welcoming in colder months or in spaces where you want to create warm vibes.

Texture and Depth: Shag area rugs are known for their long, plush fibers that create a luxurious and cozy texture. If you want to add depth and dimension to your space and make it feel more inviting and comfortable, they are the best choice.

Sound Absorption: Another advantage of shag area rugs is their ability to reduce noise levels in a room. The dense fibers of shag rugs can help absorb sound, reducing echoes and noise in a room. In rooms with hard floors that tend to amplify sound, shag rugs offer perfect noise isolation.

Child-Friendly: Shag area rugs are generally comfortable and safe for children to play on. The soft surface can provide a cushioned area for kids to sit, crawl, or play, reducing the risk of bumps and bruises. Give your decor a chance to embrace your loved ones!

How to choose the perfect size

One of the first things to consider when choosing a shag area rug is the size that will best fit your space. The size of the rug will depend on the room's dimensions and your furniture's layout. Here are some tips to help you determine the right size:

1. Room size: Measure the dimensions of the room to determine the maximum size of the rug. Ideally, the rug should leave a border of flooring visible around the edges of the room. This border creates a frame for the rug and helps to define the space.

2. Furniture placement: Consider the layout of your furniture and how the rug will fit within the arrangement. In a living room, for example, the rug should be large enough to accommodate the sofa's front legs and chairs. This helps to anchor the furniture and create a cohesive look.

3. Room purpose: Think about the purpose of the room and how the rug will be used. In a dining room, for instance, the rug should be large ( 8’x10’ and larger sizes available) enough, to accommodate the dining table and chairs even when they are pulled out. In a bedroom, the rug should extend beyond the sides of the bed to create a soft landing area when getting out.

Some additional tips for positioning shag area rugs:

  • Choose a rug that is the right size for the space. The rug should be at least as wide as the furniture that it is under, and it should extend out at least 12 inches on all sides.

  • Avoid placing a shag area rug under furniture with sharp edges or legs. This could damage the rug.

  • Vacuum the rug regularly to remove dirt and debris. This will help to keep the rug looking its best.


Frequently Asked Questions About Shag Area Rugs

What are shag area rugs?

Shag area rugs are characterized by their deep, thick pile, which gives them a fluffy, textured appearance and a soft, luxurious feel underfoot.

Are shag rugs difficult to clean?

Shag rugs require more maintenance than rugs with a shorter pile. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only attachment and occasional deep cleaning are necessary to keep them looking their best. Spot cleaning is also recommended for spills.

Can shag rugs be used in high-traffic areas?

While shag rugs are very comfortable, they are best suited for low to moderate-traffic areas, such as bedrooms and living rooms, where they are less likely to experience heavy wear and tear.
