Shag Area Rugs - Blast From The Past

The swinging fad of the shag area rug that practically defined a decade (if not two) is back and better than ever. Although lava lamps and bean bag furniture may no longer be practical items to include in your modern abode, shag area rugs are usable and fantastically clever in all sorts of rooms. Whether you have a tribute to the 1970s theme in your old fashioned den or a new contemporary room that needs a unique touch of color, shape, and texture, shag is your best bet. Besides, if you are on a bare bones budget and need to cover up that hideous avocado green shag carpeting, what better way to do it than with a shag area rug?

Shag Area Rugs Of Today

The shag area rug included in your home today is probably a distant cousin of the popular material the last time shag was popular. Instead of long, stringy shag that can be easily packed down and show its age, new shag area rugs are compact and comfortable. Furthermore, today’s shag rugs are available in a host of colors, something their predecessors lacked (unless you really wanted avocado green, mustard gold, or burnt orange).

Look to shag area rugs for adding texture in any room. Kids especially love shag rugs, since discount and budget stores are selling fabulously funky rugs in geometric shapes in all sorts of mouthwatering colors. However, if you are outfitting a space slightly more elegant than a dorm room, never fear! Shag area rugs are available in all sorts of budgets, including the extravagant ones.
