Shag rugs brought about a cultural and design revolution. They offer the additional comfort of being thick, soft and luxurious and are available in a wide range of styles, colors and patterns now.
Historically, one of the first shag rugs to be used by human beings was the traditional flokati rug form Greece. The discovery of the flokati shag rug was a complete accident and was the result of leaving a traditional hand woven wool rug under a water fall. When the owners returned, they found that after drying it in the sun it had swelled up and created a thick and soft wool shag rug. These were used for centuries as blankets, rugs and even beds for sleeping purposes. Flokati Rugs were very popular in the seventies in the U.S. and continue in popularity today, although there are now many other shag rug alternatives. They bring warmth, comfort and a contemporary look but maintain a traditional and classical appeal.
Shag rugs today come in a range of materials, pattern and constructions. Synthetic yarns of course are easy care and very durable and also an economical shag rug alternative.

Their rich texture and incredible range of colors from pure white to dark earth tones to pastels and bright sunny colors make them popular among designers and interior decorators as well.

Finally, a rug pad is very important in the use of all shag rugs, as their weaving is generally porous and soil will penetrate to the floor. If they are placed over carpeting, this will produce a stain in the carpeting

Shag rugs are typically made from Acrylic Yarn or 100 wool Yarn or Acrylic/Rayon Blend materials. A high quality shag rug should be hand tufted and hand woven, and made from the highest quality raw materials available.
Shag rugs offer uncompromising quality due to the thickness of the materials that they are created from and because they generally have a 1 2 inch soft pile, and tend to shed less than most other area rugs. They are easily cleaned using common household appliances and when cared for properly, can withstand the test of time. They are also soft stepping beneath the feet and can really brighten up any room in the house.
One of the most recent trends sweeping the world of interior home decorations is the shag look. Natural area rugs are in big time, and one of the hottest sellers that are currently on the market is the Euro shag natural area rugs.
Many people are racing out and buying this re surging trend of shag carpeting and shag area rugs because they are now becoming quickly and widely available at many retail outlets. And to be honest, shag carpeting has a touch, look and a unique feel that clearly separates it from other types of rug pads.
Another part of this hopping trend is the fact that the vintage look for homes is definitely back in. People are refinishing old cabinets, using reclaimed flooring from vintage buildings for their floors and buying vintage remake furniture to decorate the interiors of their homes with. Heck, people are even out there buying vintage bicycles and vintage clothing has even made a popular comeback.
Perhaps the shag look may be back this time for good, who really knows.

Wool rugs, standard of quality and durability for thousands of years
Wool is extremely dense, which means that you can place a wool rug on sandy ground, and when you're done, just dust it off. As a matter of fact, this is what Persian rug makers have been doing since the advent of rug making. Wool rugs were the flooring of choice in the nomadic tents of the Persian tribesmen, for just that reason. They don't mildew or stain easily, and they are extremely durable. They can absorb the heaviest humidity, keeping rooms cooler and more comfortable for occupants.
Wool has been the standard of quality and durability for thousands of years. Wool is one of the most durable fibers on the planet; it sheds water, it holds dye extremely well, and it’s fire retardant. It's not uncommon to see wool rugs handed down through the generations, and wool rugs are commonly found that are hundreds of years old.
Wool's unique properties mean that often, these rug pads look better after a century of use than they do when they're first woven.
Because of wool's long history and heavy demand in the rug trade, rug makers have had to find alternative sources for their wool. Sheep are, of course, the wool of choice, but rug makers have also been using the increasingly popular Alpaca wool to supplement their wool of choice. It's even becoming popular to mix the two creating a blend that is easy to maintain, and beautiful to look at!

These carpets invite you to stroke your fingers through their long fibers, to touch, caress, to lie down and relax on them letting yourself be warmed by their soft and comfortable texture.
Shag rugs were first created over 50 years ago and were all the rage in the 1960's and 70's. Shag rugs are now popular once again, and are available in many exciting styles, from the traditional soft and luxurious flokati rugs of Greece (flokati Rugs have been made in Greece for centuries), to the modern sheepskin rugs of Australia and New Zealand.
In general shag rugs are best suited to low traffic areas. Of the various styles available sheepskin rugs are generally the most hardwearing, especially those from Australia and New Zealand. These are closely followed by nylon rugs, leather rugs, flokati rugs and finally alpaca rugs.

Use seagrass rugs for a non allergy environment.
Seagrass area rugs are relatively non-absorbent and hard. Seagrass area rugs have a non-porous surface that gives it a naturally smooth texture and sheen quality. Because it is rigid, it gives it natural durability. Seagrass rugs compliment a low dust & allergy free environment.
Seagrass floor coverings are static free and do not attract dirt and dust particles. Seagrass rugs are strong and will withstand heavy traffic. Seagrass rugs are stain resistant and dirt is easily brushed loose from them. Seagrass is collected from a tall plant having grass-like stems that thrive in salt marsh wetlands. Since Seagrass is raised in the water it takes to water much better than sisal. Most carpet cleaners can be used on it. The wet spot will stay for a while, but as it dry's it slowly disappears.

The perfect combination of seagrass and sisal rugs.
Sisal Rugs
Sisal is a material that has been used in rug making for thousands of years. It is a tough, durable, natural fiber that stands up well to heavy traffic. And it looks great at the same time. It is finer, and easier to bleach and dye than seagrass, making it a better choice if you're looking for a more neutral rug, or want a dyed rug to match your current color scheme. Sisal's finer fiber, however, makes it more difficult to keep clean over time than seagrass area rugs.
Seagrass and Sisal Rugs
While both sisal and seagrass rugs are a beautiful addition to any living space, they are also some of the most economical rugs you can purchase. Compared to an oriental rug, there really is no comparison. And don't forget that the simple installation of a natural fiber rug also goes a long way towards preserving the integrity and beauty of your original flooring. That means investing in a seagrass or sisal rug is also an investment in the longevity of your hardwood, stone, laminate, or other flooring. If you're interested in purchasing a natural fiber rug, talk to a retailer about finding the right seagrass or sisal area rug for your needs and home design

The classic favorite of new generation home, area rug
Rugs are classic favorites of the people because it is affordable. Compare the cost of them to that of authentic tile flooring. You will be stumped with the costs. You can buy so much more than tile flooring variations, for sure. So many people are switching to rug pads since they are really quite affordable and creative to put up in one's home.
But then, like many other things, there are pitfalls to consider when purchasing them.
Rugs Can Be Quite Vulnerable Now this is one of the flaws you cannot expect it to be as tough as the hedged flooring of tiles and wood. They are clearly not able to guarantee that it will not tear in the long run. If you are installing them you must at least ensure that you put it in an area not prone to aggressive physical activity in order to preserve it much better.
It is not that resistant to fading, tearing and burning. There are tiles flooring that are fire-resistant, and it passes safety standards. There is no such thing when it comes to floor art area rugs you can expect colors to fade, tear and burn after a long time of usage. It is not as long lasting as the tougher flooring.
Much harder to clean! Ultimately, the challenge of maintaining floor art area rugs is in cleaning. While in tile floors you can put acids and scrub away without fear of destroying the surface, you will find that rugs needs to be professionally cleaned and they are really prone to staining. You will even have to dry it out once you clean it, unlike those tiled flooring designs which quickly dry up as fast as one wipes it with a wet cloth

Things to consider when buying rugs for home style and decorations
Lots of people like wool rugs in their homes and they are able to divide up a space quite nicely, but the fact is that this can be one of the largest purchases for your home that you can make as far as furniture. Depending on where you purchase the rug, what it is made of, where it was made. you could end up spending thousands of dollars on an area rug big enough to fit your living room or den.
Most people are not willing to spend a great deal on something like this, but for those of you with the money to spend, the opportunities are endless. There are, however, a few things you need to think about before you decide to purchase an area rug for your home.
The first thing you need to do is find out what room you want to use the rug in. You want a sisal rug that will not extend itself all the way to the walls of the room, because if you get one like that, you might as well have purchased it. Framing a rug properly is important to maintain the feel of the room.
Color is also very important. You need to choose a color and a pattern that go well with the room you are using the rug in. A room that has ornate patterns on the wallpaper or upholstery does not need a rug that has an ornate design on it, since the room will appear too busy for the eye. Light jute rugs will give an area a feeling of space, while darker rugs will make a room feel more cozy and "safe".
You also need to think about what you want the focal point of your room to be. If you want the rug to be the center of attention, then you should choose a rug that has a central medallion or one that has a one-sided pattern on it. Try designing your room around the rug pads, if this is the case. If you want a fireplace to be the focus, then you want a rug with a more uniform pattern or no pattern at all.
Rugs with intricate patterns can be put in areas of the house that see a lot of traffic, since the activity in the pattern will hide a lot of the dirt and wear that feet trekking across it will create
