Burgundy Shag Area Rugs

Why A Burgundy Shag Rug?

Adding a burgundy shag rug to your living room or bedroom is a bold décor move that’ll change your space for the better. What are you waiting for?

When an interior decorator uses a burgundy shag rug in a home, they’re making a statement and adding considerable warmth to the space. And with the shag pile, they’re also shaking things up with inviting texture that will make your room seem more luxurious.

Modern shag rugs are nothing like they were in the 70s décor. Today, they’re soft, stylish, and durable, with no raking required!

The following inspiration will help you conceptualize how you could use a burgundy or deep red shag area rug in a home:

• You can place shaggy burgundy rugs in reading nooks that could use a bit of romantic color and soft texture. The shag surface will invite you to take off your shoes and curl your toes into it while you enjoy your favorite book.
• You can place high pile burgundy rugs in low traffic living rooms that need warm color and interesting texture. The high pile isn’t suitable for areas that see a lot of foot traffic or soil, but it’s perfect for a quiet living room.
