5 Ways To Rock The Shag Rug
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed – but there’s a new micro trend rolling into town. The deep pile shag rug. Now I know some of you are thinking ‘What the fluff?’ I mean, could you get anymore 70s? But our fluffed-up friend (or foe?) has been given a very modern update – and it’s doing wonders to soften today’s boxy architecture. Not convinced? Take a look at these 5 spaces and decide for yourself! 
1. Classic style: Go down the traditional route with a white shag pile rug like Norwegian Sonja Olsen – it’ll go with everything. Add lots of contrast for a bang up to date look.

2. Fluff up the beni! The beni ourain has been around for a while – and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon – in fact, the fluffier the moroccan rug the better! Source a similar one here*

3. Tone on tone: Norwegian interior designer Tone Krok knows her stuff – and she’s all in with the fluff (like what I did there?!). In this tone on tone beige room, the rug adds a load of texture and interest without adding another colour dimension – it must feel amazing under foot too!

4. Go all out: Why go plain when you can go pink – as seen in the Swedish home of Emma Johansson! Bring in a couple of other accessories in the same shade to balance the look and you’ll totally carry it off!

5. Pile on the pattern: love neutrals but want that little extra touch? Try a patterned rug like this one from Design Within Reach (sadly no longer in stock). I mean, who needs a sofa, when you have a rug like this to lie on?! 
So, what’s your verdict? Are you a fan of the fluff? Or will you be keeping your rugs more slimmed-down this season? 
Still not convinced? Perhaps the fluffy chair is more your thing (love this simple IKEA DIY hack)? 
Have a cosy day friends!
