What is a Shaggy Rug?
It is quite amazing the range of wonderful rugs available to purchase these days. Not only can you buy every color under the rainbow but also every shape and texture imaginable. There is something to suit every interior whether modern or classic, casual or formal. One style of rug which was very popular in the seventies is making quite a comeback today. That is the shaggy rug.
Now the shag pile carpet of old was often wall to wall and hid a multitude of sins – generally crumbs which lurked there if you did not keep your shag pile well vacuumed and raked. But I think we are all too busy these days to rake our carpets and I hope we have a better eye on hygiene too.
A shaggy rug may be the answer as not only can you shake your rug to release any trapped grit and dirt as well as vacuum it but many shaggy rugs also have a quality which makes them very practical – they are washable rugs, being made of thin strips of cotton.
Now washable is a fantastic quality in a rug. You know that your rug will get walked on and will therefore get dirty no matter what you do and so you may be reluctant to put a non-washable rug down in some parts of your home. However, because they are washable, you can buy shaggy rugs in pale colors and not worry too much about them getting grubby. And it means that they make ideal soft rugs for children’s rooms as spills and mess don’t matter so much.
The cotton shaggy rugs are best used in casual style rooms and bedrooms but you can get more sophisticated shaggy rugs made of all sorts of materials including wool, leather and synthetic fibers. With these you have to take care of them like a normal rug although a good shake can help them stay dirt free.
