I am sure wherever you've been, you've seen a shaggy rug in every
household. What is so special about shaggy rugs? Shaggy rugs give that comfy
feeling underneath our feet that we crave for. But they require special care as
well. Let's find out more about shaggy rugs.
What is a Shaggy Rug?
Shaggy rugs are so called due to their
appearance of a fluffy, long haired piece of furnishing. They are instantly
loved by everyone owing to their appeal and their soft and cozy feel beneath
the feet. In shaggy rugs, long yarn fibers are attached to the back of rug
giving them an irregular, messy appearance. Shaggy rugs are made up of natural
fabrics like wool and cotton as well as synthetic fabrics like acrylic. Available
in a variety of sizes, these are ideal for every corner of your home. But there
are certain areas where they are favorable; low traffic areas such as living
room and bedroom are ideal for shaggy rugs. But everything has it's pros and
cons. Lets discuss the positive and negative aspects of owning a shaggy rug.
Positive Aspects
·
Soft and plush feel
Shaggy rugs feel like heaven under your
feet. So soft and comfy, you can even sit or lie on them as they may be even
softer than your couch. If you have children at home, go for shaggy rugs
anytime. Crawling babies are not harmed by shaggy rugs as these are way too
soft.
·
Easily Available
You can get shaggy rugs from any store
nearby. I prefer buying from Rugs Beyond that sells the best shaggy rugs in
Mississauga. You can also buy these online without any hassle. You can choose
from a variety of styles and designs.
·
Durable
Even though shaggy rugs are
highly durable and can withstand high traffic areas with equal ease, I still
prefer to keep them in low traffic areas for two reasons. First being that
shaggy rugs are way too cute to be trampled on continuously and secondly, the
long fibers trap dust easily. But nonetheless, you can use these in high
traffic areas as well.
·
Stylish
Shaggy rugs have a unique texture
and pattern of fibers that make them stand out in every home. Shaggy rugs in
soft colors and tones make for a very soothing and calming addition in your
bedroom. Just place your feet on them after a hectic day at work and you'll
transcend into a world of comfort and calmness.
Negative Aspects
·
Requires proper care
Shaggy rugs are high on
maintenance but so is every special creation. Shaggy rugs can be rightfully
called as dirt magnets and so these shouldn't be placed in high traffic areas.
Regular vacuuming helps to keep them clean and beautiful for long. Wash off
spills immediately before they dry up and stain your precious rug.
·
Fiber Shedding
Shaggy rugs shed their fibers due
to friction every day. The amount of shedding depends upon the quality of rugs.
A high quality well crafted rug will shed lesser fibers as compared to a low
quality rug.
