Shag Rugs - All The Different Styles
Everyone needs a rug and in some cases one of the classics just won't do
. We bring you the shag rug, a floor covering that has been in vogue since the pop-art period of the 60's and 70's and one that seems as if it is here to stay.Typically shag rugs can be made from cotton, acrylic, polypropylene and nylon and are available in a host of colors to suit every taste and need. These rugs all have a similarity in appearance in the sense that their texture and appearance consist of strands of knotted material. These are either short or long in appearance or a combination of both.
Now as the title may suggest, there are in fact different kinds of shag rug. To start off we'll have a brief look at the Flokati - a rug that used to be worn as clothing by both warriors and travelers in ancient Greece. Today this popular rug, made from 100% pure wool, is sought after by rug connoisseurs who prefer something almost as soft as a cloud beneath their feet.
One thing we have as yet neglected to mention is that Flokati rugs are made with the wool from sheep that call either New Zealand or Greece their home. Our next rug we will be looking at is the Aros rug which, like the Flokati, is made from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. As such, its texture is as soft as the Flokati but has its own unique appearance and manufacturing technique.
Next on the list we have Love Fur. Quite simply, imagine a rug made out of faux fur and you'd be close. This rug is made out of acrylic which, when it comes to money, means that it's much more affordable in comparison to other types of rugs.
Following the acrylic-made, cheap rug is the more expensive one called the leather shag rug, which is usually from cowhide or suede, or a combination of both materials. This kind of shag rug is in style for the elite class and members of the hip-hop world I bet are included.
Completing the list is the Cotton Jersey shag rug or what is more aptly called "Shaggy", termed so because of its appearance. This type is made from short but thick strands making it look more solid.
So as you can see, there is a rug for everyone out there. If you're having trouble choosing, then it would be better to look at the rest of the furniture you may have and see which of the colors and/or textures will match best.
