What Are the Benefits of Shag & Rocky Rug?

Soft Feel

• The deep pile of shag and Rocky rugs gives them a soft texture. This is particularly true in shag rugs made with wool or other natural fibers. The long fibers in shag rugs are looped, which makes the rugs more supple. This softness creates a cozy ambiance and makes walking barefoot inside more enjoyable. You can also use small shag rugs as informal seating in areas where space is in short supply. Shag rugs can also provide insulation and warmth in rooms without carpet.

Focal Point

• The texture and “messy” appearance of shag and Rocky rugs helps draw the eye towards the rugs and creates a focal point for your room. Use shag or Rocky rugs to create texture and a lived-in feel in a room with relatively plain furnishings. The luxury and long fibers of the rug can act as a focal contrast to simple, mono-color furnishings. For even more contrast, buy a shag or Rocky rug in a brighter color. Add style to a room by buying shag rugs in materials, such as leather, that match your existing furniture.

Durability

• The long fibers in shag and Rocky rugs can stand up to high traffic areas of your home. Shag rugs are also available in stain-resistant materials for added longevity or for homes with children. The looped fibers in shag rugs means they are less likely to “shed” or come loose onto clothing or furniture. The thickness of shag rugs can also provide a noise dampening effect, especially on wood or tile floors.

Versatility

• Shag and Rocky rugs are available in a range of sizes and shapes. This means they can be used in most rooms of the house, and can be bought to match many styles of décor. Large rooms can be made to feel more cozy by adding a large shag rug. Shag rugs and carpets, and Rocky rugs, are widely available in discount stores as well as higher-end stores. This makes it easier to find a shag rug in a price that suits your budget.
