If comfort under your feet, softness, warmth and a touch of style matter to you — our Shaggy Rugs collection is a perfect place to start. These rugs bring a cosy vibe and a plush feel to your home; great for living rooms, bedrooms or any space where you want a relaxed, comfy atmosphere.
What Makes a Rug “Shaggy”
A shaggy rug is different from other rugs because of its long, plush, soft fibers — often called “pile.” The fibers are deeper and fuller than on typical flat-weave or low-pile rugs, which gives shaggy rugs their signature fluffy, sink-in feel.
Depending on the material — wool, cotton or synthetic blends — a shaggy rug may feel slightly different, but the overall effect remains the same: softness, depth, and warmth underfoot.
Why Shaggy Rugs Are a Great Choice
-
Soft, cosy comfort: The thick pile makes the floor feel cushioned and warm — ideal for walking barefoot, lounging, or sitting on the floor. If you step out of bed in cold mornings, a shaggy rug gives your feet a gentle, warm landing. Warmth and insulation: On cold floors (like tile or marble) or during chilly months, shaggy rugs help trap warmth and make rooms more comfortable.
-
Sound absorption and quieter space: Because of their dense, thick fibers, shaggy rugs absorb sound — footsteps are softer, echoes reduce, and overall noise lowers. That makes them great for large rooms, open spaces, or apartments with hard flooring.
-
Add texture & style: A shaggy rug adds visual depth and texture to a room. It softens hard floors, balances sleek furniture, and adds a touch of warmth to interiors — whether modern, minimal, classic, or boho.
-
Comfort zones & relaxed spaces: Because shaggy rugs are so inviting — soft, warm and cushy — they help create cozy spots: reading corners, lounging areas, bedroom zones, or spaces for kids/pets to relax or play.
Where Shaggy Rugs Work Best
Given their softness and comfort, shaggy rugs shine in certain rooms more than others:
-
Living Room: Place a shaggy rug under a sofa or in front of a TV — creates a relaxing, welcoming sitting area.
-
Bedroom: A shaggy rug beside your bed — or partially under it — makes mornings gentle, especially if you have cold tile or marble floors.
-
Reading Corner / Lounge Area / Den: A plush rug helps make a spot feel personal, cozy, and inviting — great for reading, relaxing, or spending quiet time.
-
Children’s or Family Spaces: The soft surface is comfortable and gentle underfoot — ideal for children or even pets for play or rest.
Because of their plush pile, shaggy rugs are less suited for heavy-traffic areas like hallways, entranceways, or kitchens — here, dirt, frequent wear, or spills may wear them down more quickly.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
-
Maintenance: Because the fibers are long and dense, dust and debris can sink deep. Regular cleaning (vacuuming gently, occasionally shaking or spot cleaning) helps — though shag rugs usually need more care than flat weaves.
-
Room choice matters: Best in rooms where you relax or spend time barefoot or seated, not in high-traffic, spill-prone areas.
-
Pile height & feel: If you want ultra-soft “sink-in” feel, choose a deeper pile; but for stability (under furniture) or easier cleaning, a slightly shorter pile may work better.
