Shaggy rugs
Decorating a room with a shaggy rug is the best and the easiest way to create a comfortable atmosphere in your home. Its texture is beautifully soft and therefore also perfectly suitable for kids rugs. Due to its deep pile and its comparably low yarn density, this furnishing classic, which is also referred to as deep-pile carpet or high pile rug, gets a charming shaggy look that has given it a cult status since the 70s. Ever since, the range of styles and materials has been expanding constantly and is now able to appeal to every taste. Although round rugs or colourfully patterned shaggy rugs are very fashionable, plain shaggy rugs are even more popular because the look and feel of a shaggy rug is already quite extravagant, motivating people to choose models with more subtle colouring. Additional delicacy is created through shiny effects brought about by glossy fibres or fibres of different length and width, creating a unique structure. Therefore, it is always worthwhile to consider all details of a shaggy rug, like its fibre structure, material and the pile structure. After all, these factors significantly influence the appearance of the shaggy rug and its effect in a room.Cosy shag pile rugs
