Shag Rugs are the hip new rage in area rugs

The elegant shag rugs add a twist by bringing back the shag carpets of the past. Today's modern shag rugs are not only smart and stylish, but they are made of high-quality materials, and come in many different textures, shapes, colors, and styles from the cuks shag (large thick pile) to the three or four inch luxury shag. They even come in leather! When choosing one of the new, modern shag rugs you receive maximum comfort and relaxation. A complement to the elegant and sophisticated environment. 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.

Shag rugs, and especially flokati rugs are at their best when experienced with bare feet, and are perfect under a living room coffee table or next to a bed.
