How to Create a Sense of Luxury and Opulence with Shaggy Rugs in Your Bedroom

 A Shaggy Rugs can be a beautiful addition to any home, especially when you’re looking for something soft and warm underfoot. But if you want yours to last and not become a home maintenance nightmare, it’s important to understand what kind of care they need to stay in top condition.



Great at catching the eye

Shaggy rugs are great at catching the eye, but they also make for a comfortable and relaxing place for kids to sprawl out while watching their favorite Youtube shows or for the family to snuggle up under a blanket for movie night. They come in a variety of sizes, allowing you to create a focal point for any room or simply add comfort underfoot.

 Patterns on their surface

The downside of these rugs is that they tend to get dirtier very quickly due to the long yarn patterns on their surface. It’s important to vacuum them regularly and if you have any spills, they need to be dealt with immediately or they work their way down into the heavy cotton foundation of the rug and are even harder to clean later on.

 Wear out prematurely

It’s also important to keep in mind that these rugs are not the best for high footfall areas and should only be used where there is limited furniture to crush their pile, which may damage it over time. They are not suitable for hallways or busy living rooms as the constant stepping on and off can cause them to wear out prematurely, or even be ripped from the floor entirely.

 Made of natural and synthetic materials

Shaggy Rugs, both those made of natural and synthetic materials, are typically woven from wool twists that are loosely woven into usually a thick cotton backing. These long strands of face fabric are then barely trimmed in order to give the rug its distinctive shaggy appearance.

Conclusion

The main drawback of this type of synthetic construction is that it’s impossible to use a standard canister vacuum or even an upholstery cleaning hand tool on these long strands. You’d have to literally try and vacuum them one by one, row by row, which would not only be difficult, but could also pull out tufts of the rug over time. This is why you’ll usually see a warning on these rugs against using a vacuum with a powerful suction.
