Why A 3x5 Shag Rug?

Do you want to give your room a makeover with a 3x5 shag rug? Check out our hundreds of options to find the perfect fit for your home.

Interior decorators around the world use pieces like the 3x5 shag rug to make rooms more attractive and inviting. The soft texture can balance a place that feels dull, and the thick pile can even insulate your floor to keep the room warmer. The best part about these beauties, though, is how they feel underfoot. There’s nothing quite like walking on a thick, soft shag rug.

Look at the ideas below for some inspiration on how to use a 3x5 shag area rug in your home:

• A 3x5 teal shag rug—or a pair of them—could look beautiful in a bathroom or bedroom that needs a splash of color. Teal goes well with colors such as blue, green, purple, yellow, white, grey, and black. It’s a great option for brightening rooms that don’t receive much natural light.
• A 3x5 fur rug made from synthetic material could work perfectly at the side of your bed to provide a soft surface to wake up to. Faux fur calls for low traffic zones, which is why the bedroom is a sound candidate for this rug.
• You could place a 3x5 cream shag rug in a traditional, country, chic, or minimalist home (among other décor styles). The cream color can make the shag texture seem more elegant, improving the look and feel of your room.

A Closer Look The 3x5 Shag Area Rug

Shag rugs have gotten a bad reputation for how they were used in 1970s décor, but there's nothing tacky about them. With thick pile, high-quality yarn, and expert craftsmanship, a 3x5 shag rug could be a real investment in your home's decor.

One of the best things about shag rugs is their insulation abilities. They're like blankets for your floor, keeping the chill out and helping warm the surface you walk on. Some homeowners even report lower heating bills with shag rugs.

Is A 3x5 Shag Rug Right For Me?

Before making your purchase final, check that you've picked the perfect size of rug for your space. And research shag rugs so you know how you'll need to care for your new investment. The tips below are designed to help:

• Measure carefully. Buying the wrong size of rug is a common error, so measure your room and then the area you want it to cover. Consider outlining the 3x5 rug's intended position and size with masking tape to see if you've picked correctly.
