Shag rugs: wool and leather shag rugs

For a contemporary look and feel try a shag rug

Shag area rugs are a look that is definitely in and they look great in any living area. Shag rugs made from wool, polypropylene or leather have a modern look and feel that fits in perfectly in any contemporary home setting. They are also suitable for a log cabin or ski lodge as they have that warm and inviting look and feel.

Wool is one of the more common materials used to create shag carpets. If your budget allows, buy a super plush shag rug, hand made from 100% angora wool or a classic sheep skin rug – both are luxurious and the ultimate in style and elegance!

Shag area rugs are not only available in the traditional woolen and cotton materials but also in nylons, acrylics and leather. Totally in vogue today, shag leather rugs are made from soft leather, which is woven to create a textured look that is very chic. Shag leather rugs are available in beautiful golds, blacks, browns as well as multi-colored shades including blues, reds and purple. Beautiful and soft, these rugs add a touch of style to a contemporary home.

Shag rugs are no longer confined to one or two colors. Although you may prefer to purchase a rug in neutral tones, shag carpets are also available in contemporary styles with bold, geometric patterns and designs to complement any décor.
