Shaggy Rugs -- Shabby-Chic

I love that shabby chic look. Shaggy rugs are a good way to achieve it. You may think shag is a relic of the 1970s, but that was shag carpet. We are talking about shaggy rugs here -- rugs that may hearken back to the time of avocado counter tops, burnt orange refrigerators, and wood paneling (to the land of the leisure suit), but are modern in a way all their own. Can you tell I am a shaggy rug fan? I just love them. After you have read this hub, I hope you will love them, too. Shaggy rugs are a pleasure -- to both look at and use. You can find a plethora of shaggy rugs -- from throws to transitional size -- available online. The only piece of knowledge you need to have ready when you shop is your dimensions.

But of course, shaggy is at home in most any dimension.

Like I said above, shaggy rugs are a pleasure. I love shaggy rugs as much as Austin Powers loves to shag (I think). I enjoy sliding off my shoes or sandals and walking about on the over-developed fibers of the shaggy rug. It feels comfy and substantial against the soles of my feet. Barefootin' on shag(gy) is very fun. Keep a deep-pile shag rug clean and it will spend a while in style. But you must be sure to keep it clean so you can get the most out of it. Shaggy rugs trap dirt like nobody's business.

As I mentioned in my intro, you can find all sorts of shaggy rugs. They come in the smallest sizes -- like the little round or oval ones you would put in your bathroom. They also go big -- shaggy transitional rug, anyone?

You will not be at a loss for color choices when it comes to this particular species of remnant. The rug 'o shag comes in everything from black to white -- from mauve to blood orange.

If you want to buy this little devil of a rug, Amazon would be a fine place to start, but there are other trampling grounds. The best place to buy shaggy rugs online would be a site that specializes in such a rug. Such a site is JustShagRugs.com -- the name says it all.

I hope this hub will help you love shaggy rugs as much as me. May shabby chic be in forever!
