Decorating with shag area rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any room in your home. Shag rugs can turn a drab room into one full of color. Or you can use shag rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Shag rugs can add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Shag rugs will protect hardwood floor or wall-to-wall carpeting. And the right shag rug can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.
And the best place to shop for shag rugs is Rugs Direct. We are the nation’s leading source for area rugs and offer you thousands of choices in a wide variety of styles, colors, shapes and shags.

Shag rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your living room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or patio, there’s a shag rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, shag rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, Shag rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.
If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, shag rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful shag rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use shag rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use shag rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put shag rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!
The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad
Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every shag area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your shag rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a shag rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug.
The Miracle Hold Plus rug pads we sell at Rugs Direct come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your shag rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most
shag rugs manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.
Remember, every shag rug needs a pad. Click here to see the high-quality, 10-year Miracle Hold Plus rug pads available from Rugs Direct.
Useful Information About Shag Rugs
Shag rugs, the popular floor-covering icon of the ‘70s, have made a comeback, gaining popularity with young and old alike. Groovy! These fuzzy, shaggy rugs can soften the look of wooden or stone floors, provide comfort in a den or bring a splash of color to an otherwise subdued decorating scheme. Shag rugs can work magic and create a colorful and lively vibe in any room in your home.
Shag rugs are a fantastic element around which you can design a creative space. If you have the opportunity, you may want to start with a totally empty room, choose your shag rug first, then paint or paper the walls in colors found in the shag rug. Many new shag rug styles have a woven-marbled look, meaning different colors are woven and layered together to create an exciting texture and luxurious feel. Choose furniture that will enhance the colors or patterns found in the rug. A shag rug with a bold, overall design can be the focal point of a room, so consider choosing a chair or sofa in solid or subdued patterns.
There are also shag rugs that fit into an established decor. If you already have your furniture, choose a shag rug that picks up the existing colors. Patterns can be mixed if they are coordinated by color. A light colored shag rug makes a room look more spacious, while deeper colors help make a room feel cozy. Plus a shag rug can be used to pull together various design styles.
Shag rugs are fun but may not mesh well in a room with traditional or colonial décor. But if you do go “shagadelic,” choose a size that will fit in more than one direction so that the furniture can be rearranged if necessary.
Some of the brands of shag rugs you will find at Rugs Direct include Dalyn,
Helenic, Surya, Kaleen and Momeni. These shag rugs are so well made you can safely vacuum them. Just be sure to set your vacuum on the high setting for thick carpet. If it is too hard to push you can use your vacuum attachments. It will not hurt the shag rug to push the vacuum over it.
