4x6 Shag Area Rugs

4x6 Shag Rugs

What? Don't judge. A 4x6 shag rug might be small, but it'll make a big impact on your home's interior decor!

Why A 4x6 Shag Rug?

When an interior decorator uses a 4x6 shag area rug, they're dressing up a space while providing it with an exciting background. Rugs set the stage for how a room will look a feel, and modern shag rugs ooze with an inviting, elegant appeal.

A 4x6 shag rug can be placed in a sitting area, your living room, a bedroom, or anywhere else that could use a touch of texture.

The following ideas will give you an idea of how a professional decorator might use one of these beauties:

• A white 4x6 shaggy rug in the center of a bright reading area, providing contrast against the pine flooring and black furniture legs.
• A pink 4x6 shag rug in a young child's room, defining the play area and making the floor softer to engage with.
• A grey 4x6 shag rug in front of a bedroom's walk-in closet, offering a warm and comfortable space to stand while you get ready for the day.

The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and your home's average traffic. The best spots for shag rugs are low-traffic zones, so they're not subject to heavy soil and frequent staining.

A Closer Look At Shag Rugs

If you still think of the 70s when you picture a shag rug, it's time for an update. Today's shag rugs are gorgeous, luxurious creations that are miles away from the gaudy designs from decades prior. Imagine your favorite rug, only softer, and thick enough to curl your toes into.

Interior decorators also love using 4x6 shag rugs in spaces that could use a dash of texture. Shag makes a room feel:

• Soft
• Warm
• Elegant
• Inviting
• Safe
• Comfortable
• Cozy

Is A 4x6 Shag Rug Right For Me?

The only reasons a 4x6 shag rug wouldn't fit in your home are size and traffic. Let's take a closer look at each factor:

• Size: A 4x6 rug is best suited for spaces that are at least 6x8. If it's going to be in a larger room, it should define a specific area.
• Traffic: A shag rug can get trampled down and dirty if it's subject to muddy shoes, frequent spills, and lots of foot traffic. They are typically used in lower-traffic zones that can be kept clean. Check out our guide on how to clean a shag rug.

If you have a space that's suitable for a new 4x6 shag area rug, all that's left is to think about colors and pick your piece! You can reference the color wheel to find a rug color that will work well with your existing decor's palette.

Neutral colors like white and grey are safe for most homes, so they're great options if you're nervous about how bold a shag rug might be.

Choosing The Perfect 4x6 Shag Rug

If you have a specific color you want, use the filters to refine your search and start comparing rugs you love! When you've found the one, don't forget to buy a quality rug pad to make the surface softer and keep it in place.
