Is the Shag Look back in?

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

One of the most recent trends sweeping the world of interior home decorations is the shag look. Natural area rugs are in big time, and one of the hottest sellers that are currently on the market is the Euro shag natural area rugs. And who can argue against the fact that a hand tufted, shag rug does not finely compliment the interior of any home?
Many people are racing out and buying this resurging trend of shag carpeting and shag area rugs because they are now becoming quickly and widely available at many retail outlets. And to be honest, shag carpeting has a touch, look and a unique feel that clearly separates it from other types of area rugs.

Another part of this hopping trend is the fact that the vintage look for homes is definitely back in. People are refinishing old cabinets, using reclaimed flooring from vintage buildings for their floors and buying vintage remake furniture to decorate the interiors of their homes with. Heck, people are even out there buying vintage bicycles and vintage clothing has even made a popular comeback.

Perhaps the shag look may be back this time for good, who really knows. Many people enjoy a natural shag carpet because they are soft stepping under the foot, they tend to shed lightly and they are relatively easy to maintain, and to clean. Plus, they will look great in most homes, regardless of whether or not that home has any other vintage furniture inside of it.

The best part about this reoccurring vintage trend is that consumers can get their hand on high quality, shag area rugs for relatively cheap prices. As is true with all trends, supply determines demand. And right now the demand for these hot and stylish, shag rugs is enormous, meaning that the frugal shopper can really find some great deals when they take the time to shop around for bargains.

Purify the Air in Your Home With a Wool Rug

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Many people are entirely unaware of how beneficial a wool area rug can be for their home. Wool area rugs are smart choice for the environmentally conscious are hypoallergenic, and have anti-bacterial qualities. Wool rugs are also harvested from a naturally occurring resource. The sheep may not even mind: they are shorn only a few times per year when their coats are thick and ready, just like an overdue haircut.

Wool is Hypoallergenic

Many people do not know that wool is hypoallergenic and will not cause allergies in most people. It is also a strong, sturdy fabric that can handle high-traffic areas of the home without deteriorating too quickly. And, wool tends to cost less than other popular rug materials, making it an ideal medium.
Anti-Bacterial Qualities Lots of people do not know that many odors in your home are actually caused by bacteria forming, which expel an odor that can be noticeable. Wool is in its very nature anti-bacterial and will help to purify the air in your home. Think of having a wool area rug as having a way to naturally clean the air and the pollutants found in and around your home.
Finally, wool can be woven into a wide variety of different patterns. Using natural dyes, weavers can create complex patterns using wool. Or they can tuft it and make delicate and soft shag rugs with generous piles. Wool is also commonly used in combination with another popular area rug material: sisal. When combined, the two make a sturdy, lush, high-quality rug. Sisal is fire-resistant, stain-resistant and sound absorbing. These qualities, when combined with wool’s anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic characteristics, make the combination of these two rugs a one-of-a-kind.
